Building Materials and Construction Technology
roger.lehrberg: [citat] Yes, there you have it. Preconceived notions are not always correct. I maintain that personally, I would want more than two screws in OSB to hold an overhead cabinet, but then again, I am of a "belt and suspenders" nature. 😉
BirgitS: Here is the installation guide from Coretec: https://www.coretec.nu/installation/#INSTANV [citat]
andnel: Thank you! Hope you find a good way.
oppelainen: Thank you for the response! ☺️ It will be painted with snickerifärg.
Misse: [citat] Yes, then maybe the baseboards that are here already are the best looking. We will need to replace them but in that case, we need to ensure a nicer finish (where the baseboards are mounted against the concrete stairwell, you can see ugly "screw heads" (or whatever you call it) and it looks very bad.
z_bumbi: If accessible from all sides, screw from underneath.
Dkarlbom: Hi, I have the exact same type of ceiling in the bedrooms in the house I just bought and am considering doing the same thing by plastering over the existing one to avoid the seams. Did it work to screw up the plasterboards with cc 30 or was it not worth the effort and just as well to keep the ceiling to avoid a lot of headaches?
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] Yes, but as long as you mostly place the top plate on the casting and insulation, I don't see any problem with you being able to access and apply the primer on the Leca part afterwards..
Matti_75: It is not load-bearing. However, the walls that are at 90 degrees to the marked one might be.
Aztrill: The hatch is back in place again, thanks for all the incredible response!
Ronny Johansson6: [citat] Expansion plugs are the way to go // Just cut it off afterwards with an angle grinder and fill the hole with filler // after the nut has been unscrewed!
Miktan: Hello Our carpenter built a small interior wall as shown on the right in the picture. The right side is an exterior wall. He placed the studs directly on the concrete, which is a slab on grade (ground floor, no basement). Usually, a moisture barrier is placed between the floor and the wood. The carpenter is very skilled and has been working with houses for 35 years. Is it overkill to use moisture
Kristofferm: [citat] The space is mostly a passage room above the stairs, so there won't be much in it, but it's always good to design upwards. Thanks for the great post!
busgraab: You have convinced me, the spackel will go to the dump and I'll buy new! 👍 Thanks for the quick replies!
DNlsn: Hello!! Currently, I have an issue with damaged plastic sheeting for our concrete slab and am seeking advice on how to proceed. Background: Earlier this year, we had a leak in a drainage pipe from the toilet in our bathroom located on the basement level. The insurance company was involved, and we had to jackhammer the slab to expose the drainage pipes. Problem: Our house is from 1979 and was
MARTINOV: [citat] Thanks for the reply and the board tip. I'm not sure, but elsewhere in the house, it's some fairly porous masonite-like board from the 70s. [citat] Haven't gotten past all the layers of wallpaper yet, and I can't find a seam either, but I'll try to figure it out. [citat] Thanks, I'll drop the idea of a wood-based construction board. I have about 22cm between the back of the stove and the
cpt: Hello! In our basement which is a walkout, we have a couple of built-in wardrobes against a bare outer wall. It's drafty and poorly insulated and I would like to improve it if possible. This wall is about 70% above ground. See image. Can I put some kind of wind barrier and then cellulose insulation on the wall as much as I can reach, or could that create issues? I find it difficult to gauge when
Biggle: If it's the 60s, the planks might be treated. That was the decade when the number of impregnation facilities in Sweden increased a lot. There are different treatments one could do and colors used at that time to resist rot, etc. Probably not great to eat, but otherwise, it should be fine. Our house had black/brown-painted planks on everything visible. It's probably nothing to worry about; if the
Karam Malo: [citat] Hello, after a couple of years, how did it go, did you manage to fix the squeaking?
Kire87: Floorplanner is both free and good! https://floorplanner.com/
Notch: Considering converting the barn into a workshop and "garage" for lawnmowers and various small machines, but the floor of the barn above needs to be checked over, to put it mildly. The idea is to install a ceiling and so on down there, insulate, and add lighting so it's functional to be there even in winter. I've run into a problem with how to handle the floor joists, they're in a dimension I've
villa Adenhielm: Yes, we have received a quote on this but feel that we want to compare it with something.
Oldboy: [citat] Around zero. +18C on the top side and -20C on the underside gives -1C on average. Then there are many different factors that affect it, so that value can be a few degrees up or down. [citat] It depends on... many things. Attefallshus. To me, that might mean it functions as a guest house and is therefore inhabited for one or a few weeks/year. In that case, I would keep it at 12-15C
Griffeltavlan: [citat] Finally someone responds 😱 Yes, I have secured it with extra screws since many boards were loose. Thanks for the help!
cpalm: Now that this thread has been revived, I can add that at least I personally prefer a roof rack so that you utilize the car's length better and get a little less protrusion at the back. Even though it's a bit impractical to load/unload and tie down.
Anonymiserad 405730: There is insulation for 450cc as well, but it will be more expensive... I wouldn't have joined the plasterboard between the studs, only attached it to the OSB, it will flex... But of course, it's more comfortable to work with 900mm boards...
Häggens: [citat] It turned out to be masonite and a bit wavy but really no problem to get in place, just a bit tricky to do it alone with the longest pieces. Just as you write, "perfectly" straight doesn't quite fit here. Done now, but I'm attaching a picture from the work in progress where you can also see some masonite.
mxjolle: The fiberboard smoked on the inner wall anyway when we wanted to insert some insulation. The other walls will get renovation gypsum because it was really not fun to tear down the fiberboards.. 😅 [bild]
