Building Materials and Construction Technology
Prosit: The lamina hasn't fallen down yet, 3 years later. Soon I'll probably get the frames up too.
Åsa Nilsson1Asagnesta: Hello We are in the process of building a retaining wall out of gabions. When we started last year, I found a company that sold ready-made "caps," which turned the gabion into a bench. Now I can't find them again. You can of course build your own, but... Does anyone know of anyone who sells such accessories for gabions?
Workingclasshero: Sure, add a few bucks and change it when the other one is being renewed anyway.
carpe: It could be a complete cabinet that is inserted into a hole in the facade. There seems to be a screw on the left side. There should be some on the other sides as well, and then you can pull out the entire cabinet.
useless: Alternatively, a couple of pieces of threaded rod or a pair of screws with the head facing inward so you can attach any suspension device later.
shiftlock: I need to install a cabinet frame rule on a wall. The wall is from the 1940s and porous to drill into, and black dust comes out of the hole. I had the same situation in a previous 1940s apartment, and I eventually had to bring in a craftsman to secure a plank to the wall after failing with all the plugs I had at home. Question: Can I use concrete screws (like Essve)? Otherwise, which plug or
mvh: Hello, Do not tear up any more floor! What you think is a wooden floor is actually the upper part of the elements consisting of 20mm plywood, masonite boards on edge, and then 20mm plywood again. The cassettes are filled with wood shavings. There are no joists; instead, the cassettes form the floor framework themselves. If you do a search on the forum, you'll find a lot of information.
Alexn72: [citat] The risk is that the bricks might carry moisture, and the space where the studs are could have higher humidity, causing the wood to both mold and rot. But if the brick wall is otherwise dry, there shouldn't be any problems.
Casper Fredriksson: It's just the attic above, so the glulam beam will be up against the rafters.
Anonymiserad 284245: Heco 6x160 349:-/100pcs at Jula. That can probably be considered really cheap.
Åsa Lund: Scrape out loose mortar and repoint with new hydraulic lime mortar. Not too difficult if you're handy. But it does take quite a bit of time.
pemu: Hi, I have a basement stairway that is not attractive... It seems to be cast in place from when the house was built in 1970 and probably hasn't received any love since then. The wall against the lawn is rough in structure (Looks like the concrete wasn't vibrated) and has probably been coated with cold asphalt sometime in the distant past. The house foundation is painted with unknown paint that
HappySleep: Spelling??? Should be something else.
SethL: I hope it's okay to ask the question here. I have a viking tent that is 2.5 m wide, 3 m long, and 2.15 m high. Currently, I have two poles and a crossbar, but I can't set it up by myself, so I would like to make an A-frame tent, but I don't have space to store 2.5 - 3 m long pieces of boards. The crossbar in the current tent is split in half with a 50 cm overlap and fastened together with two
AJ82: Hello! I created the following thread but then realized that I probably posted it in the wrong forum. I can't find a way to move the thread, so I'm linking it from here instead. Hope that's OK? https://www.byggahus.se/forum/threads/hur-riva-gillestuga.461230/
kniv: Place the boards so that the one already fixed has the tongue underneath, and the board you are laying brings the groove from above onto the already set board, otherwise there will be quite a mess!
kniv: I believe that "pocket hole" jigs are set at a 15-degree angle, i.e., B.
Jimmy Wall: [citat] hello, I just have a question. I have a similar conservatory as you. And I want to insulate under the channel plastic. I wonder how you did with your project, regards Jimmy wall
pfb: Thanks again @TrädgårdsBjörnen, damn what a kick they had!
myrstack: [citat] I used 20mm if I remember correctly and then underlay felt on top of that and a medium-quality dust sheet before the water-retaining felt that the sedum mats were laid on. I only have about a 7-degree slope so in my case, the sedum stays put without any slats at the roof edge.
Shinue: Hi Trying with some new questions. The wall for the greenhouse is almost finished and I am about to start the plastering. Can you take a break in the plastering, e.g., in the middle of a wall and resume plastering the next day?
fribygg: Calculate just for fun what it would cost to cover the surface with 2x8 on edge, I don't think it's economically reasonable with today's lumber prices to construct a wooden floor structure that can support a 5-ton tractor.
olofh: We are sketching a bike shed with a sloped pent roof. However, we are completely unsure about the dimensions. My wife would also like to have a sedum roof. To access the shed, it would be good to avoid having a post in the middle of the opening. We've started sketching with an opening width of 3500 mm and a depth of 2500 mm. I'm thinking the posts could possibly be 75x75 and then using laminated
Amalieberg: [citat] Thanks for your response! Manufacturer is hard to reach - the house is built '34 and the staircase probably isn't newer than that as it is embedded in the house. Thanks for the tip. I'll see what I can achieve upon moving in!
jontepd: [citat] Thank you! That's what I suspected as well. In my head, those frames are only there because of the wind hatch :)
