Building Materials and Construction Technology
Plaincollar: Hello Planning to build a small bedroom under a slanted roof (see picture). Can anyone tell me how to frame the wall in the ceiling? I want to have right angles against both the wall and the ceiling. Another question is how to go about building these two interior walls without nailing into the wooden floor but with good stability and insulation? Grateful for tips

Hasse C: Hello! Thanks for your response. Yes, those panels are quite expensive. There are a few different suppliers, and you might find them a bit cheaper. I hadn't intended to cover the whole wall, more as an element to make it nice. The project includes a new garage of 70 sqm, possibly solar panels, as well as converting the old garage into living space. I'm not quite ready to set a total budget yet. I
Mr.Jenkins: I due time, I will install new parquet - but I have a floor that is not particularly straight. It’s an old wooden house with parquet on plank flooring, which in turn rests on a joist system. My first thought was to tear up the floor - remove the planks and screw and glue new battens on the side with noggings and then lay the plank floor again. The plank floor runs along the length of the
maah: I'm about to install a new window in a bedroom soon. Something I've been wondering about is how to handle the plastic in the wall. Do you need to do anything or just frame it up and install the frame?
ElisabetElisabet: [citat] Great, thanks for the response!
Ozelot: [citat] Ok, strange that it calculates it wrong, but sounds good that we can solve it that way! Thanks for the help!
Amatörbygge: Okay thanks for the tips. Is there a rule for the order in which you install floor/wall/ceiling? Should you lay everything up to the floor chipboard and then install wall cladding and lastly ceiling panels?
attefall: Hello, I'm currently extending my house, and due to height requirements, both the reinforcements in the existing wall and the entire frame with load-bearing beams, joists, and posts in the extension need to be built in steel. However, I'm having some trouble finding people who can provide references/experience with such work. And I find it a bit difficult to generally trust those who say they
öringen: [citat] No, they probably won't with that variation of hole pattern shown in the picture.
noone70: I have a small basement room left in our extension that needs to be levelled with self-leveling compound, and between the "ledge" on the foundation in the old building and the new slab, there is 50mm of styrofoam. Now I plan to level the room with self-leveling compound, and I wonder how I should do it to avoid cracks in the transition between the new and old part. The first thing I think of is
lindquist_o: Thank you for the tip! Greatly appreciated. Happy for all ideas and tips.
P-plats: Blade screw previously mentioned or pendulum screw. http://www.nfgab.se has very similar products.
Huzzbutt: [citat] Since you are cutting at 45°, I guess the motor is hitting the upper fence on the left side. Loosen it, and it should be fine.
Haladria: Thanks, round head wood screws seem to match. The anchor screw is more conical behind the head.
Pumabjörnen: [citat] Glue and a Pocket Hole jig should solve your problem (y)
Phasio: [citat] That color is really thick and nice. I like it.
AndersMalmgren: Created a small devlog on this if you are interested. [MEDIA=youtube]7cIklHYEHZM[/MEDIA] Tensile strength proved useful between metals if one reference was in AR500 steel and another in softer weld steel, allowing for quite a high accuracy conversion between these. More difficult with wood though.
LarsDaniel: Correct. Gluing on a carpet reduces the risk of slipping. However, we went ahead and rebuilt the stairs with new stringers. See Renovation of 50s Stairs | Byggahus.se Lars Daniel
Tofe: [citat] Hello KjellTimell, Thank you so much for the reply and quick help - very concrete and clear :) Now we feel hopeful and encouraged for tomorrow's continuation. All the best and have a great weekend!
Alexn72: A nail in the middle and then a jigsaw or router that spins around the nail with a string You can draw the circle with a pencil and then follow the line... if you want
nino: Is there any product from Heydi that you can use to bind it together, I believe you're supposed to scrape off the loose parts first.
Kane: [citat] Routering a divided ring-shaped L-strip from an MDF board? Is the hole sufficiently circular?
Jonatan79: YOU need a powerful fan, pax doesn't suck well! Or maybe an air purifier that picks up the dust?
Marcus Hennix: [citat] That sounds even better, thanks for your input.
Daaaaaniel: [citat] I kept the construction board. Attached 45mm studs on top of it. Removed all the old electrical wiring but kept the pipes in the walls, which went behind the construction board. Installed completely new electrical wiring for the entire upper floor in the 45-space; new conduit. 45mm insulation. OSB. Plasterboard. I'm done with the entire upper floor now; 110 square meters. Total new
