Building Materials and Construction Technology
Mats: I don't know, but I would definitely look for the studs. Even if the drywall might remain on the board, it also becomes a question of whether the mounts for the board can handle the board plus drywall.
robbanl: Don't joke :D I'm in the process of moisture-proofing an exterior wall against rock and one almost becomes a bit too extreme in security thinking... You have done a good job! Robert
33: Metal strip (referred to as kottlingsplåt) behind a drywall joint can easily result in a flimsy joint. Use a solid piece of wood, possibly plywood. Fiberglass tape is easier to apply because it is self-adhesive, unlike the paper tape. However, the joint is less prone to cracking if you use paper tape, as drywall is covered with paper... Additionally, you should always apply a tape in a joint and
4integration: Circular saw from the underside and hand saw. With a jigsaw, it is more difficult to get straight cuts.
phulden: [citat] Yes, but then you haven't done as I described...

hempularen: You could make a hole in the ceiling and rake down the insulation to examine how it looks. Possibly, one could imagine that the beams going in the "wrong direction" are attached crosswise to one of the "correct" beams?
tomas_mandorf: [citat] Does it look nice? I'm considering laying it myself.
Hobbit: And before anyone even thinks to reply blocket. ::) http://www.blocket.se/search?q=gatsten&caller=obl_s&l=0&city=0&category=0&where=2&th=1 Cobblestone instead ?? Regards Hobbit
arne: I switched to Höjslev 2-ply last year and don't have any marks from the production. I think they maintained a consistent quality.
Mio: It's not plaster! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture :( No seams anywhere, so it's something that's been applied... hence the description of "liquid" tiles ;) It might be concrete, but it still doesn't quite feel like it. The texture looks like sponge-painted walls, more or less. Texture everywhere but not the dotted texture of plaster, more drawn this way and that to achieve a lively
Kasch: [citat] Yep of course they do... that was the reason for the question (this is starting to resemble circular reasoning :-) ) The purpose was to cheat, i.e., to avoid extra work and instead just put up stiffer and less fragile material on the masonite. And yes, to preempt further questions, it's of course possible to take down the old boards but I'd rather not – the insulation from the slanted
4integration: Then you might be able to relieve the outermost part of the shelves by placing a long threaded rod through all the shelves with a nut/washer on each side of the shelf and then anchoring it to the ceiling. This assumes you have a suitable ceiling that can support this.
Haagbard: I don't think either of them resembles the one "Eld" showed a picture of.........I know exactly what the panel looks like because there was such a door in my childhood home (built in '38) although I was only 12 years old when the door was replaced with a white swedoor. However, I thought it was narrow slats nailed with spaces between them.
zankan: Insulation can be adjusted to address internal resonances in the wall. And if you want to handle sound properly, build a double stud construction and use 3 layers of drywall, which will give you sound insulation of, say, 60 dB at best, probably around 55 dB, which is extremely good but might be needed to avoid disturbance. 55 dB is the standard between, for example, hotel rooms or apartments...
Skistar: Hmm, yes, I had brought in an "expert" who had worked with this for many years who helped me. He said that it can easily happen sometimes but that it is possible to float the entire slab afterwards to make it really flat. I thought it was the helicopter that had worn down these spots :-(
David: [citat] Yep. Costs about 11-12,000 including VAT. The only time there was trouble was when the driver took a wrong turn and we waited with a loader that cost X-hundred per hour + VAT. Regards David
zankan: Ordinary wall paint Gloss 7 or ceiling paint if one is painting the ceiling... It's important to tape and spackle properly as grazing light on gypsum walls is a problem
Magnus_Nordmark: The price for the material is approximately 12-13kr/kg plus VAT. Steel sheet that is 1mm thick weighs 8kg/square meter, so it's just a matter of calculation.. ;-) 4mm sheet thus weighs 32kg/square meter and the price will be about 384kr/square meter plus VAT. In addition, a bit of work with the metal shears is required. Search the yellow pages for metallego, mechanical workshops, sheet metal
Mjölnaren: We used regular standard ground insulation. Just sand around the edges. We haven't had any problems during the 5 swimming seasons. I also have acquaintances with the same installation solution as us, and as far as I know, it has worked well for them too. Now I don't know what you mean by "...something hard" but I would advise against it 8). The pool liner is the weakest link. A piece of advice:
4integration: Hi, In the basement, I have a ceiling made of fine-sawn boards with about 20 mm spacing between them. Between these and the joists, there is a paper that is plastic foil-coated to make it a bit tougher. Where can I find such a thing? What is it called?
zankan: Btg is great for soundproofing. With a 200 mm thick btg floor, it's really great. Then it depends on what you put on top. Lightweight btg is not the best in my opinion, yeah, maybe it's okay for patching holes or building walls with it. :-) And casting a 200 mm floor costs a lot if you are setting up the form yourself... it requires a number of props and things. Of course, you can rent beams and
andersbyggahus: Bought drainage for the garage at "the local hardware store". Unfortunately, they only had 26 gutter brackets, and I needed 32... Went to Byggmax and found the exact same gutter bracket for a third of the price... :-/

MrMagic: 12,750 SKr + VAT last time I bought (though almost a year ago) oak lumber, random width, two inches thick.

zankan: Yes, it should be cold in the freezer... Now we're being sarcastic... we'll stop that... right away... :-) but it was a bit fun anyway... and you'll get that back at some point...
Mats: And what does a concrete stairway become in winter? According to the scar on my forehead, it also becomes slippery. Consider intentionally tilting the steps slightly inward on an open stairway to make it a bit better.
