Building Materials and Construction Technology
Wontner: [citat] I think my attitude is okay, I created a thread to get some tips, I've received a lot now for which I am grateful. Glad it went easy for you :)
Felf: What happened then? Wouldn't it have been better to take more of the whole chimney and make a completely new installation?
Byggvm2022: Hello all metalworkers! I have a functionalist house with concrete tiles and plan to preserve the old outward-opening windows. They will be white. I want to use something silvery for the bargeboards, window sills, and drainage. I'm afraid that silver metallic might look too modern? Also, I've heard that majestic can become discolored by various things. The house will be repainted with spray
teo77: I guess I'll get a roll of syllpapp, even though I only need a small piece. It's not particularly expensive. I just remembered that I have a roll of bitumen soundproofing that I used in the car. That should work.
Nick 72: Here are some of the major suppliers of sorting equipment. Which one fits is something only you know. But unnecessarily large containers in the kitchen don't look so great https://www.sansac.se/sv/kallsorteringsmobler https://www.pwsab.se/hem/produkter/utrustning-foer-kaellsortering/kaellsorteringsmoebler/ most kitchen suppliers also have recycling bins that can be placed in the kitchen cabinets
tergo: [citat] 910 mm a new standard frame is about 885-890 mm externally
Yllert: [citat] I went with Biltema's winter foam sealant. All the holes are now sealed, so no insects are getting in anymore =)
raindance: Appearance doesn't matter much in the basement. The question is why it couldn't be used indoors? Does it emit toxic substances? If the only issue is that it can't be painted, I can use it unpainted. It's good that it has moisture resistance and is moisture permeable.
RichardRR: [citat] Hi, did you use Sika Anchorfix 1 and was the result good?
mister555: [citat] It is a detached villa. Planning to enclose the other one as well, it goes to the heat exchanger.
Lenza: Ordinary reinforcement in carbon steel should not be exposed without concrete surrounding it; simply being in the ground is not sufficient for protection. It is the high pH value in concrete that provides corrosion protection. Any other workarounds will lead to a shortened lifespan of the structure regarding the reinforcement's function.
Håkan035: I've realized that there is so-called kloasong on both the walls and the ceiling. I'm considering if I should: 1) Groove the ceiling to hide wires and then cover the grooves and possibly repair damages with gypsum plaster. Then repair and skim coat the walls. 2) Install Norgips flex steel framing and then mount drywall. Preferably avoided due to delivery and general hassle. Personally, I would
herregud: [citat] Cast, 80 and 60kg of concrete in each post with post iron and fixed in the beam (170) in the deck. Sits very stable.
dennis_f: [citat] I don't have a complete overview of all prices, but plastic usually costs the same or more depending on what type of glass/plastic you choose. Buy a laminated glass sheet, as thick as you think is economically justifiable but at least 6mm. It won't break even if you bang on it for days with the frying basket. :) Ask the glazier in your area if you don't believe me, they sell both glass
Snekke: So a thousand thanks!! I think we'll go with the wood version, it looks really good. I read a blog that did a similar solution for another stand but I didn't understand how to make it work for this one. Thank you for taking the time with such an explanatory answer. I've recently had twins, so it will take a while before it’s up, but I'll post pictures here later!
SågspånPappspikEternit: Building regulations are (thankfully) not retroactive. The rules that apply today cannot be used to demand changes to old, existing houses.
praame: Here we found a good product, which was also available to order: https://www.sekelskifte.se/product/golvsockel-1920-tal-120-mm However, the shipping costs 900.-, so if anyone has other tips, that would be great.
z_bumbi: The client shapes the contract. If the contract is not fulfilled, that firm is never hired again. The next firm is likely aware of this in advance and handles the situation differently. This works best for larger companies. Random checks and price comparisons with regular prices at hardware stores quickly reveal which companies are a) terrible at negotiating b) concealing discounts. If you pay
alexander___: One more question: have you had the wagon there year-round for two years? Or just in the summer?
Thomas59: [citat] Blast from the past! Someone just liked one of my old posts in the thread (which has been inactive for 11 years), so I started reading to see what the thread was about and saw your comment. I could very well have accepted your offer. Not afraid of hard physical work. In fact, I like it, so thanks for the comment. To the rest of you I argued against (or with, it was a bit unclear as your
AnnaDianaK: You are right. I will let go of these thoughts, there is much more to focus on when a whole basement is completely renovated. Many thanks for the reply!
klaskarlsson: [citat] True, I was sloppy - +700 should be on the short sides :)
Chippe: [citat] I have a piece of 45x200 in the garage left over, and it is straight but actually quite bowl-shaped.
Topsy67: [citat] Thank you! I will definitely contact the designer. I just thought I would come up with some constructive suggestions and not just complain:D,
marp68: These glues seem to stick as hard as construction adhesive. I have construction adhesive at home. Maybe it can be removed just as easily with piano wire too? I thought construction adhesive was too strong. In that case, maybe I can use it anyway.
PerSaukko: Well, we got help from an adult instead.:) Weber vetonit KRL was applied, and then covered with Tikkurila Yki Rouhepinnoite, a coarse baseboard and wall coating.
krillek: Yes, then you would probably need something to keep the pieces in place. I would check with a stone company to hear what is appropriate, but I guess regular cement mortar works well.
