Anonymiserad 282191: Yes, if you spill with foam, it's better to let it cure than to smear it out.
Kretikos: [citat] I can't remember the brand unfortunately, it was a few years ago. Bought at Ekesiöö in Bromma before they became Bejer. I would guess it was about 6x160.
Nygge72: [citat] Strictly speaking, that's true, but since I framed the wall according to the existing wall, there's a bit less nailing batten to attach to (even though it's enough) for the bottom row.
dartmogge: It became Golvmellanlägg Kährs Tuplex. Vapor barrier and sound dampening.
Nygge72: Hi, I'm going to nail up stock panels with a nail gun. How many nails should one put at each stud, is 1 in the middle of the board enough, or should there be 2 towards the sides of the board?
Lutte: The exact amount is lagom, it should be thin but not too thin. You'll have to test it out, but I would guess that 50-70 oil is lagom. Then just pour it into the tube and spin.
tobbetk: Why do you need a new heel? :thinking: Can't the new VVB stand on the floor instead ;)
Lerhol86: Hi! How did it go? Is it insulated both inside and outside? I'm having similar thoughts.
justusandersson: A bit difficult to comment when one doesn't know what you're looking for. Personally, I would never consider casting two intermediate floors in concrete in a small house. That you use alternating wood and light concrete for walls, I can't see any problems with.
Matti_75: [citat] I know the price will increase as suppliers have flagged for another 30% increase. They predict it will take at least 18 months before the market stabilizes. I hope they are wrong.
Rolle85: Is there any picture / film of this?
larsbj: [citat] You just have to avoid sawing all the way out on one of them so it's not visible. I have torn down the panel of many houses and the experience is that those with a straight edge have fared significantly worse.
Mazen: A backsaw is stable and provides fine cuts. https://www.jula.se/catalog/verktyg-och-maskiner/handverktyg/sagar/ryggsagar/ryggsag-120007/
guggen: 0-1 gives a fairly smooth surface, but there are also, for example, 0-0.3 and similar
Alfredo: [citat] I would think so, but it should become weaker and weaker. How long it takes, I wouldn't dare to guess. [citat] Absolutely a good way to speed up the drying process, but hardly necessary. Ventilation and time will probably do the job, even if not as quickly.
16386: The original drawing shows that your apartment was once a locale of some sort, maybe a store, with two rooms and no kitchen. Exit toward the street, in a window section. The toilet was an outhouse in the courtyard. The locale was later converted into an apartment, with the inner room divided into a kitchen, entrance, and closets/pantry. It's some of these later walls that you're in the process of
ZeroKnowledge: [citat] Thanks for the link! I understand what you mean, that maybe it emphasizes the effect of the sagging ceiling, but unfortunately, you can't bend the beadboard that much...We'll see how it looks once everything is in place! At least it will be a fun exercise in how to scribe! What is it called in Swedish, to scribe? So I can search for it more later.
keab: I am planning to plaster a curved base/stair side. It is convex with a radius of 3m, made of "Leca" with a cement mortar slapped on. Does anyone have tips (and preferably experience) on how to achieve the radius in a good way? For example, should one set plaster laths (10-12 mm) that follow the curvature (i.e., horizontal laths) and work at 90 degrees compared to how you plaster a regular wall?
plåtrickard: What is the dimension of the screw? I know several carpenters who use thicker dimensions for screws because it holds significantly better.
justusandersson: Not if the beam is only supposed to support the swings.
Flebbe: I hope someone here can offer some smart tips and advice about our balcony. The balcony is a steel structure with decking where the joists are screwed into the steel construction. Under the decking, plastic has been laid, and under the plastic/surface layer on the underside of the balcony is some form of plywood with a slight slope away from the house. The plywood has now become seriously
bossespecial: I think you should email the designer with your questions. If the response is delayed, you can call him and ask him to confirm everything you talked about in email form.
Ernfrid: [citat] It's easily accessible, on a carpenter's shed. You can reach to replace them while standing on a painting stool. I would like my own carpenter to do it, but he is in another location and can't estimate it right now.
halls: I want to install another floor in a space that currently has very high ceilings. I started calculating freely supported beams and thought about using IPE steel beams in the outer structure against the exterior walls and then laminated wood as the joists. However, it is quite a large space, 4x9 meters. According to building standards, you should account for 200kg/m2 plus the dead weight of the
Mattwaner: I think it will be necessary to measure exactly. Thanks for the response /mattias
