Building Materials and Construction Technology
Derbyboy: I am going to lay a new floor and have at the same time chiseled away the tiles in front of the fireplace. Floors, such as laminate and others, should be laid with expansion gaps. How do they manage this:
jonaserik: There are no loads to hold, just sideways, so pull a little tightly with screws up into the ceiling, and it holds. To make it grip better in the panel if it's a bit thin, pre-drill with a bit that is slightly smaller than the core of the screw. The panel won't crack then.
Lena Elisabet: We are going to build an attefall house as a complementary dwelling. We told the architect/designer that we wanted the minimum possible wall thickness to meet the energy calculation. It is a house measuring 7x4.25 meters with a loft and four meters high, three 1.2x1.2 windows, a patio door with a half window, and an exterior door without a window. The thickness ended up being 29.1 cm. Is it
Krux: Hello. Does anyone know where to find rampmuff m4 for outdoor use? I haven't found any, they all say indoor use only.
VLJ: A consideration, pressure-treated wood is quite unpleasant, and there is a risk that you might touch it while training. Could it be an option to build it with construction timber of 95x95 instead and surface-treat it, and perhaps place it on some lecablocks or similar so it is not in direct contact with the ground?
MineralUlf: Hello Justus and thanks for the input. It leans towards doubled bärlinor in some way. Also reduced c/c on floor joists.
Derbyboy: Ok, thanks, now I understand why I can't find one that is 12mm my problem is that I need a base that is 4-6mm, felt that it was easier to plane a bit on a base than on a salningslist.
SvanteC: I discovered the same thing on my gable. Since the whole gable was rotten, I tore everything down and put up clapboards. Since your paneling isn't rotten though, I would have painted it and waited 5 years before replacing it.
Demmpa: Here is a thread on the same topic, https://www.byggahus.se/forum/threads/vad-tusan-kallas-det-haer-gangjaernet.328848/ The Ebay link still works, then TS should check out "Häfele".
Lerstenstegel: If you don't insulate, it won't be particularly thick. A thin plaster layer only builds up 5-8mm when you've filled out the rest evenly.
Barriospurer58: [citat] Okay, good luck with the construction!
MathiasS: No, let it be, add more later if needed. Even a little bad is quite good when it comes to laying lecablock.
mexitegel: It might chip a little from the plaster, but cracks are a minor risk. We drilled, filled with chemical anchors and then plug and stainless steel screw. It has withstood the autumn and winter storms at over 20 m/s, so it seems to stay put :).
MalZon: Now, the thoughts about the carport construction in front of the garage begin. There will be 6 115*115mm glulam posts on each side supporting their own 225*115 glulam beam, upon which a saddle roof with pre-made trusses will be placed. Everything is already calculated and ready. The posts will stand on the piers with shim plates in between. I will oil, prime, and paint the posts before they go
Nikkanen: [bild] Planning to build a deck floor adjacent to a sauna, seeking suggestions for anchoring the front edge as the ground slopes 60 cm.
tobbbias: I agree with Bosse, maybe it's possible to come up with a different abrovink to solve your problem. Regarding your problem, there are many ways to approach it. But the safest is to dig to frost-free depth and cast a big damn lump that you then drill chem-anchors into. Then, attach it as Martinson demonstrates.
Nicke111: [citat] Crazy to manufacture a vacuum cleaner that sounds like a sledgehammer...
raveper: Don't settle for just cut moldings. Learn to cope them to make it even better. A coping saw and a sharp morakniv are needed in addition to a miter saw. Besides a bit more time, that is...
BosseHansson: I'd say one in the middle if it's supposed to look like futuro.
Tompafix: [citat] I applied a layer this morning so it created a surface. Now it's dried and already feels durable. Couldn't scratch it off, so it will probably work well for gluing on. (y)
justusandersson: 45x145 is too weak. It becomes wobbly, quite unpleasant up in the air. Go up to at least 45x170. Keep in mind that unprotected wood has worse structural integrity in the long run. The biggest problem is stabilizing laterally. Diagonals/wire crosses or braces are needed. For flooring with c/c 85 cm, you need to use 34x145 mm decking lumber.
Sintei: Hello, I will be using rather wide glulam beams as posts. These are 90x225. I plan to use 2 adjustable (height-wise) post shoes under each post if possible. The pillar I am going to cast is a 200mm form tube sunk about 700mm into the ground. So the post shoes will not cover the entire post and in some cases may not be completely centered under the post. The form tube is round. Perhaps it would be
Byggoo: Hello! Does anyone know of a Z-panel that is 133 mm or alternatively 120 mm? I want them to be 1200 mm in 9 or 10 boards. Or do they need to be custom cut/planed?
Thomas_Blekinge: I had a provisional outdoor staircase that lasted ten years. Stringers of 45x145, onto which horizontal 45x45 joists served as supports for the steps made of laid 45x95. The steps were toe-nailed into the stringers. All in untreated timber.
useless: Basically any cement-based mortar... Fine concrete, tile adhesive, house fix, etc. Clean and wet the concrete floor thoroughly so that it adheres well. No concrete is completely waterproof, but maybe it's enough to stop the water with a barrier?
Fulkemisten: It is not the weight of the foundation but how well the quality is made that holds it in place that matters. Indirectly, a larger foundation becomes heavier, and this of course matters.
Saraff: I would love to have your drawings! So exciting with these houses, all the info is awesome!
Lerstenstegel: Keep in mind that 506 Quick is indeed quick. Never mix a full bucket as you won't have time to use it all before it sets, but otherwise, it is a very good product with good build height and an easy-to-sand surface.
