Building Materials and Construction Technology
Håbbe01: Restorers typically use historic plaster which is solely lime-based (+sand+water) instead of today's plaster that contains cement.
Jan_G: Google Lofttrappa or Spartrappa. And select images when you get the results. Then just indulge in various solutions ;-)
Discoman: [citat] Do you need a beam for load-bearing function? Otherwise, I would have milled a little deeper so that the cabling goes inside the wall.
Dr Benz: How do I route the pipes under the bench? The incoming will be at the floor angle to the right to be able to enter the crawl space. But what should I use in each section to minimize connections? Prisol and hide them as high up as possible? Are there any flexible pipes that can avoid a lot of joints? Or maybe even use Pex instead? Hilfe bitte.
Hep: Perhaps I should follow up so that someone looking for the same answer gets some help. "All plastic" apparently doesn't mean all types of plastic, so that gluing didn't work. The solution was quite simple. A roll of double-sided tape of the kind meant for mounting bathroom mirrors. The one that's a bit spongy and fills in even if the surfaces aren't perfectly smooth. It holds like a rock and is
polaris78: The clamp consists of 2 parts, an inner part that is usually screwed into the wall and the next chrome cover cap that is clamped on and snaps into place. Sometimes you press a little inward into the hole and pull a bit outward on the chrome piece to separate it. I only found a picture of one with 2 tubes in it, but it's often the same or a similar principle snap fasteners that you either poke
Berkaking: SSF 200 edition 6 Alternative SF norm. 1047 Does anyone have access and can share what the requirements are for walls and ceilings according to norm 1047? There seems to be some free interpretation among different insurance companies, and they also refer to norm 1047 for walls that are not built with 1mm steel plate or 12+12mm plywood. Sometimes it is mentioned that plywood can also mean OSB or
E-man97: Got it! Which acrylic sealant do you recommend? 😀
TjorvKorv: I bought their miter saw https://vonroc.se/kap-och-geringssag-2200w-254mm And their saw table for 749kr, I must say I'm impressed with how good the quality is for the price you pay. Haven't done a lot of sawing yet, but I'm really satisfied so far!
Elisabet_H: [citat] Thanks for the response!
Olov Lundkvist: [citat] Now building an interior wall in the basement. Using 120mm wide stones and wouldn't want to use narrower. Narrower would feel unstable. [bild]
13th Marine: [citat] Haven't delved deep into these, windows are relatively easy to replace. I have a soft spot for the flag windows from 1913. [citat] Probably fairly draining. [citat] The plan is to drain and divert stormwater; there should be a dedicated stormwater pipe that leads further to a ditch.
Du och 19till: It can be done. But it's a very extensive job. It's almost easier to tear down the roof and build a new one the way you want it. To find out the cost, you should ask local carpenters for a quote.
spikar-på-skruvar: Update, no more drifting snow = no more water. So probably a small sheet or wind cloth.
Jossi76: [citat] Hello and thank you for the response. Yes, it is exactly the same as our house. It's very loud banging, and we're trying to get the builder to take responsibility. We can't really live with this as we have a bedroom by the wall that bangs the most. It can be up to 10-15 bangs each night. Even when we sleep, we constantly wake up from the banging. Not good. Do you know of others who have
Fällebyggarn: I have a wall that had been plastered with different types of plaster and painted with various paints. When I plastered, everything fell down the next day. So I "plastered" with putty and paint.
Tindra_Leia: We did exactly that, and it turned out great [citat] We solved it just like in the picture and eventually, it turned out great
Farmarskruv38234: Hello! I'm going to nail new exterior paneling on an old log house this spring/summer, but before that, several logs (including the sill log) need to be replaced as they are severely rotted. My question is whether I need to consider that the house will settle significantly in the near future. Is it still possible to attach vertical and horizontal battens tightly to the log wall, or do I need to
Microkatten: We have only created one space so far, so I can't say much about how it feels. Regarding underfloor heating, as you say, it should be possible to lay pipes in the clay layer. I saw the construction for this in a course, but I have no practical experience with it.
Vic&Phil: [citat] Found this old thread because we are considering exactly this soooo now I wonder — how did it turn out? 😄 Pictures? Lessons learned? Tips?
varpan1: [citat] They're crappy houses, plain and simple. There are a few exceptions, individually architect-designed houses then. Avoid these houses and you'll avoid a lot of problems. Most of them also lack reasonable ventilation. Many times I've slept as a guest in various old houses and closed the door to the bedroom for some privacy, only to wake up after a few hours with very poor, stuffy, and warm
Intet: [citat] It is. Why wouldn't it be possible?
bs ss: Hur ska jag putsa om innerväggar i källaren? Tittar på videos men det verkar vara väldigt olika tradition i Sverige och ex. England. Här slår man putsen och drar av med rätskiva. I England är den lösare, som youghurt, och påläggs jämnt direkt med putsbräda. Finns bägge varianterna i Sverige eller har vi bara bruk som ska "slås" på och dras av? Håller på att riva gammal
Greggen: Har bott i ett Elementhus i drygt 5år nu och börjar lära mig det mesta. Just nu håller jag på att renovera i källaren och har stött på två lite oklara saker. I trapphuset ner till källaren så är det endel utanpåliggande kablage som jag skulle vilja flytta till andra sidan, in i väggen. Väggen som är aktuell är en kort stump som jag misstänkte skulle vara mer eller mindre ihålig
gmogmo: [citat] Draw a sketch of what you're thinking! What do you mean by hidden? Why not just place the Pax wardrobe and build around the area if you want them to be built into the wall? (It's perfect to use 45 studs and drywall to build it in)
Isabie: Thank you for taking the time to respond. :) We have decided to go ahead with the ångspärr and do the best we can and hope that we avoid moisture damage.
FreQa: It might be difficult to find a contractor that many also consider too expensive. 15-20 for a certificate A guess since I haven't seen the garage: A garage with a roof is built for snow load. If you build a building, let's say a guest room, the loads are entirely different. The roof trusses need to be replaced to function as floor joists. Are there photos?
carolus_erectus: [citat] They went up with universal plugs and are still there. Drove it straight into the drywall as a suggested plate would have protruded a bit too much.
