Muzilla: Hello! I am going to mount a bracket for a projector on a ceiling. The total weight will be about 20kg. The screw should be at least M12. The picture shows what the ceiling looks like, I am quite sure that there is gypsum (drilled a small hole) after the "plate" 2-3cm in. What is the best way to attach it securely and durably? What type of screw/plug, etc.? Thanks in advance for the help. I hope
Avemo: I would say that list and läkt are at different ends of the spectrum at a lumber yard. List wood is the best wood you find there. Läkt is the worst. If you have patience and machines, you can make lister from läkt. Let it dry indoors for a few months. Then select pieces that are as straight and knot-free as possible and joint and plane them after cutting them to the right length. But it's
Snabbfix: I will try [citat] Ok. Thanks for the help. I will try to do this.
Mazen: [citat] No, you have to nail them by hand, alternatively find a similar nail that can be used with a gun. Dyckert mentioned above is another option
Vi iktouhj: Thanks for the input! Yes, measures for moisture movement as far as I can are addressed!
justusandersson: In a post-and-plank construction, it's the posts that lock the timbers in place that are load-bearing, so it shouldn't be a problem.
packel: Thank you! The largest is probably 50-60mm, so you can take some leca blocks and insert them.
kentyts: I have chosen to use green particle board as a subfloor, then oil-hardened bottom board that the wood fiber insulation rests on. The idea is that you want diffusion-open materials when working with wood fiber insulation. Should I have chosen regular particle board? Or how precise does it have to be? The problem that arose was that there was a water leak through the tarpaulin and the water ran
gluecifer: Yes, I've had that thought too. But I'm wondering if oak will go well with both the pine floor and the door. Are there wide thin oak boards?
JFTENG: Hello, I have an archway opening to our hallway, where there was previously an MDF arch (molding around) from Duri. Like in the picture (borrowed image). Now the hallway is renovated with new wallpaper, and I don't want to put up a new MDF arch around the opening. Tried looking, but haven't found any smaller variant. Does anyone have another solution? Corner bead - does it exist? [bild]
oobum: This kit is for mounting on wood, gypsum, or concrete walls; https://elfa.com/sv-se/sortiment/product/screwandplug If you have gypsum and plywood, a wood screw, size 5x50 countersunk, is sufficient.
Huddingebo: There are waterproof mats approved for installing tiles and slabs on.
Elnovis: I wonder if anyone has used this product and what do you think of it? https://www.golvpoolen.se/golv/golvtillbehor/underlagsfoam/mellanlagg-pergo-professional-soundbloc-15-m2/p-426881?trackID=101888578&utm_source=adrecord&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=adrecord [bild]
heimlaga: The classic method is to let the beams (a longer type of claws) extend to the outermost roof truss, which is one truss distance from the gable. Five-inch nails are driven through the truss into the end grain of the beams. The beam lies on the gable wall, and because the inner end is nailed about a meter further in, it cannot tip outward. What looks like the outermost truss and is in line with the
leifherlin: I've heard that mice do not make tunnels in flax insulation. Unfortunately, it's a bit more expensive.
joppe joppe: Saw this building technique in Windsor. Does anyone know what this way of laying bricks is called? I've never seen it before....
nizzehult: Right now, it leans towards this solution: https://www.bastupunkten.se/40-glasvagg-till-bastu-och-badrum This option comes in at just under 10' with everything that pertains to the glass wall, and it still feels reasonable. The company also seems knowledgeable and helpful, which is worth a lot. But there is one thing in their instructions that I can't make sense of: You don't need an air gap
HomeboY: [citat] Exactly, you have to have the best :cool: about 100 cm.
justusandersson: Unfortunately, I have difficulty following your reasoning. Which solution do you prefer?
Stuff: Why can't a rule be found? There is a wall rail for metod that allows you to attach where it suits best (and attach with several extra screws if needed=
Biggle: Hello. Has anyone here tried to pigment plaster stucco? I've googled but not found much info about it. Personally, I think it should work fine, but you never know. Thanks.
Kapabel: [citat] Hello! I apologize for the "messy" picture, but this is how I did it: a concealed water pipe with a shelf that has an inset back panel. I bought ready-made shelves and a masonite as the back panel.
Minonsson: Sometimes it works to test things with foam sealant, I guess. Forgot to share the result. Thanks for everyone's responses. Much appreciated.
Johnsson 56: [citat] I see, but I already wrote from the beginning that they are 0.45 x 0.9. 1.72 x 0.9 is the height times the width.
Nordickiwi: [bild] Considering converting an old panel door into a sliding door for the wardrobe. Wondering if the lightweight concrete wall approximately 7cm thick can handle this installation? Or if it needs reinforcing in some way if so?
