Building Materials and Construction Technology
Mats: Theoretically yes, but as I said, I don't have enough knowledge to calculate it and if I did, it would require more data.
scar69: What use it may have is for others to figure out, I just think it's so fantastic to come up with such a thing :) It seems like there are soon no limitations anywhere.
Mats: No information about the specific case, just the experiences I have with such large houses. The houses I have seen of that size usually have stone/brick frames for load-bearing parts. That's also why I wrote that I believe. The only way to know for sure is, as mentioned, an engineer who looks at the specific case.
a94marbo: Good idea, thanks. Will check with them.
Enk Projektet: I was at a construction site a few years ago and the wall there was made of 28mm sparse frame and on that a glued and screwed 13mm plywood of good quality, rot gips. About 3m long and 2.5m high and it was at least as sturdy as many other walls....
Mullbär: Thank you for that! It's starting to be time to go to the glazier now. I think it will look nice!
ekklig: Hello! We installed vinyl flooring from Tarkett, you can see the result in the thread below. http://www.byggahus.se/forum/byggmaterial-byggteknik/154069-baerighet-trappspalje.html
maaats: Testing my questions here as well. Links to the forum thread: http://www.byggahus.se/forum/grund-markarbeten/165524-bilder-baerlager-under-cellplast-isolering.html The picture at the bottom of the page contains my most current ponderings. The thread above also includes camera pictures and explanations for questions. Plastic against the old concrete and against the "wooden wall"? (the blue one)
yoxler: Yes, those might have been the blocks, thanks! I can put up some decent tiles and avoid the plaster. Although it's a bit more expensive, it's something to consider. I've also thought about using a Platon mat, metal studs, insulation, vapor barrier, and drywall, but the more I've read about interior insulation of basements, the more I've decided against it. It will probably have to be exterior
Gallimatias: Narrow blocks are trickier to lay than wider ones. You don't get real stability if you lay too many courses in the same work session. I would have opted for 120mm blocks or only laid 4-5 courses per day. Don't forget to pin into the concrete block so that the pins land in the bed joint of your new wall. Every third course is adequate. Additionally, reinforce the wall every third course. It can
myrstack: Just be careful if you have gypsum that has been damp and has become both heavier and softer in paper. Normally, it shouldn't be a problem, but as with all handling of gypsum, avoid pure breaking and forces in the direction where the gypsum is weakest.
Atenza: I am in the same stage in my house. But I chose to put up the OSB first on all the exterior walls, then I frame the interior walls. Most of the electricity goes in the ceiling and then down into the interior walls from above.
bearpower: Okay, thanks for your response, now I understand how it works. :-) The pappen starts about 2 decimeters up on the wall. It seems to be just that section up that is a bit too wet. I'm planning to repair it with concrete filler later.
ste78fan: have used for moldings acrylic sealant from bauhaus, 9kr per tube, right or wrong, but the moldings are up anyway
basseman: We recently installed paneling in a bedroom and chose unfinished paneling (pine) which we painted ourselves and the result turned out well. Buy proper knot sealer and make sure to seal all the knots thoroughly. The paneling we chose was from Valbo Trä and they have a product catalog with their different profiles. Check out http://www.valbotra.se/sidor/produkter.htm to see the different products.
Helioz: I have poured many slabs myself in various dimensions. I cast them myself because I think it holds better (always reinforce), you can get any dimensions you want, it generally looks nicer, and I usually polish them with a diamond grinder which is not possible with store-bought ones that are too porous. My standard slab is usually 40x40 cm, just as you thought, I build a frame of 45x45mm battens
Forbo: Dremel, multimaster, hacksaw...put a nut inside the saw cut. Saw...unscrew the nut...done. (*** how much I've cursed before I discovered the simple method...then the sinner shall learn...)
Helioz: I live in Skåne and have several walls like yours in different places around the house and haven't had any issues with frost damage despite these two harsh winters with -10 degrees down here (the walls are considerably older). If the plastering is done correctly, it should last at least 10 years, I would guess. If you've gone all out and red-primed first, and applied mesh before the final
PCLarsson: :Hopes not with the 1200t:arn she has backed in with
Yrrol: haha is it pressed cardboard nowadays? I have, anyway, of the kind that requires devilish force to break. but now I have the impression that it's just that it can move.. It is so custom-measured for the cabinet etc., so installing renovation plasterboard is out of the question... it'll have to be wet room wallpaper..
Ola78: Normally, you would have a top plate at the top of the wall, but in your case where you plan to have the studs directly against the wall, you can surely skip it. Use long screws to attach it, it's generally expected that the screw should be about twice as long as the wood you are fastening. It will be cumbersome to nail, as the nails would need to be very long for stability. Theoretically, you
momin: Okay, didn't sound too advanced. :) Thanks for the tip. /momin
haavard: Drying construction moisture must of course be done BEFORE insulation. At least according to me.
mojjen: I have started planning to extend the house quite significantly with a deck on footings as the foundation. I recently built a deck of about 50m2. I now want to build 45m2 on it in 1.5 stories. I built it quite robustly. It is 4.5m deep, I have a bearing beam on the outer edge and one in the middle in 195x50mm. On these, there are 195x50 floor joists anchored to the house, with post bases and
