Building Materials and Construction Technology
somelvis: [citat] I bought a Turkish floor tile 20x20 for about 90 SEK per m2, the exact same tile is sold at Bauhaus for 199 SEK. I am very doubtful if there really is bad tile from Europe today, if it looks good, it is good. Making tiles is not rocket science, humans have been doing it for thousands of years. What can differ are surface texture, ceramics showing through glaze, irregularity in size and
gadu^: There are no surprises in "fräsa" with vp pipes about 20mm in the foam plastic, are there?
Fredrik.engdahl: there are plasterboard lifts that can tilt quite a bit, I think it can go to 45 degrees as well. check with the larger rental companies
Tossegubbe: Why not skip the plaster and put metal on the entire wall?
Mats: agree with ppalm. Double plinth/post iron and then it stands still :)
Mats: Thinking about doing the same in a room where I have some issues with floor drafts. I have a plinth foundation so it should be self-drying under there.
P-plats: This is how it turned out. The idea of gluing the wedges was a good one, I'll smear some Ultraflex there tomorrow. Now there's just a roof left, then it will be enough for this year, we'll tackle the fence in the spring.
Eneuman: Hello, I am in the process of removing a load-bearing wall and need to reinforce the ceiling beam so that the roof does not sag. Fortunately, there are two load-bearing walls running parallel to the ceiling beam. I have therefore hung the ceiling beam on the wall plate and then spanned it across the load-bearing walls. The ceiling beam is only 53 cm from the support, so the load should be
mradom: Thanks! It was resolved with a combination of your tips :)
P-plats: A hardware store should easily beat Biltema's prices provided you buy in bulk. That the store then offers sales in loose weight or by piece makes it obvious that the price will be higher... Unfortunately, not everyone apparently wants to sell screws... ;)
Jesper_Valfridsson: Hello I am going to completely renovate a house. It is mostly interior space but also windows that need to be addressed. Is it worth it to rent a light truck and go to, for example, Poland and make a bulk purchase? Things I can easily buy are: About 15 windows 150m2 Oak parquet or similar wood flooring. Wallpaper for 5 rooms Paint Tiles and ceramic tiles for 2 bathrooms and a laundry room. What
MaZtoR: I have a 1.9 ceiling on my upper floor. (old small house) And it feels very cramped even though I can stand upright there. Works well as a bedroom but nothing else.
Sävshult: I have been considering installing a floor consisting of a mix of oak planks and tiles (patterned). Is there anyone who has experience with this? Or knows of a good link? etc. Quite a few restaurants and Irish pubs have this type of flooring.
vem_jag: you also have moldings in cellplast at Lundbergs http://www.lundbergs.com/taklister/takrosetter/bjalkar___181.aspx
Farzan: One thing about the generalskarv is that even if it is over bjälke, there is still a risk of a little "knix" there if the bjälklaget isn't perfectly 100% even.
Mikael_L: Chipboard strips and filling, of course. It holds up well in a typical indoor environment if done correctly.
anaitis: [citat] What you are describing is rowing thread. Usually in boating contexts, the word rowing refers to a fabric of these threads.
evoline: It was the usual way, just as good if it has something to do with the insurance. So no laziness there. Thanks anyway
danielr112: Njo. I think I had a 5kg nail of that kind.. I think it was 12 boxes with 250 in each or something. This for 7 roof trusses. My arm moderately hurt afterwards. Although I over-dimensioned them quite a bit. Hence the weight. Want to be able to hang something from the ceiling in the future if needed.
joflopp: That's how it will be. Managed to put up a short wall late last night and forgot the kortlingar then. Will have to take it down and redo it.
cinema101: [citat] I do that! I've received a lot of discs from a neighbor.
Caspár: [citat] Thank you again then! There are enough clips left from the bathroom installation, and I will, of course, show him the installation, just like you said, before I close everything up completely.
H_L: Check out fiberboard (masonite) that is oil-tempered and thus more resistant to moisture. These are often used, among other things, under roof tiles. /Henrik
Alexandersson_1: Hello! I have a newly built house and now want to lay a path around it. The existing base is currently 0-60 mm crushed rock with a 5-20 cm thick layer of gravel on it. My question now is whether I need to remove the gravel layer to apply 0-20 mm crushed rock about 10-15 cm thick, or can I lay it directly on the gravel? Since the gravel can't be compacted because it doesn't contain any fine
alen: Dangerous or not, it depends on how many there are and if they are leaning in the same direction. If they are all equally tilted and in the same direction, the house might be on the way to wandering off... If there are only a few, and if they are tilted in a way that counteracts each other force-wise, you can probably leave it be. Otherwise, you’ll need to lift with a jack and straighten them/
nikke: I also don't think there should be any problems, but just wanted to check. Thanks!
