Building Materials and Construction Technology
mattiasp: [citat] Yes, that was probably a better idea! Then you can also put a thin layer of insulation behind it, so the panel doesn't rattle.
Zeb_M: Saw your post and wondering if you got clarity on the load-bearing capacity of fiber planks. /Zeb M
jcfolke: I am looking for centering rings (joints) and bends in plastic for 3" (75 mm id) drainage pipes made of clay. It doesn't seem easy to find. Beijer here in town had a bunch of 4" parts lying around that I could buy for almost nothing, but that doesn't help when it's the wrong size. Does anyone have a good tip on a place that has 3" stuff lying around? //Johan
ichigo: Ended up going after work after all, but got there (Hornbach) early on Friday, around half-past three or so. It was very empty, but we still had to wait a long time to be served, but when a guy finally came over, everything worked out great. Really cheap too! Truly. And I could never have it cut that precisely either. :) Funny, Friday morning (i.e., at night) I was measuring and sketching a shelf
Lurvnos: Thank you, David! In fact, I have already been to the lumberyard and came home with 36 lm of 28x110 tongue and groove. I also ordered a 90x90 glue-laminated beam for a post, which should arrive in 5 days. Budget so far: 620 SEK for the wood and 300 for the glue-laminated beam. With some odds & ends, I should manage under 2000. I'm currently working on chipping away through tretex and old
andreashj: A lightweight concrete wall has collapsed on both sides of the door frame at the floor level. The damage occurred when we were breaking up the floor in our basement. The floor is now excavated, insulated, and installed with heating coils. The new room is going to be a bathroom/laundry room. Now the wall needs to be repaired and, among other things, electrical wiring should be installed next to
pappskallen: If you don't want to miter it, you can put quarter round in the inner corners and L-list in the outer corners.
jokkmokk: David, Buy Schiedel isokern chimney it is really good and cheap. The type approval is available on the Swedish website.
Immobil: [citat] It varies depending on whether you have requested a total price or a specified price. I personally wrote down how much I needed for the project in total. Then I specified the different dimensions and materials in a table that the dealer could fill in. I did this in a Word document which I then emailed. It made it easy for the dealer to fill in the prices and return it. The advantage of
mattiasp: I am not a sheet metal worker, but cut at 45 degrees with about 5-6 cm overlap and double lock?
zankan: Knock away what's bomt. Then splash on with bruk and slaffsa the board in place. Nail it with 75 nails in the joints. Bend the nail before you drive it in as well...
trocomare: You can either use regular wall gypsum on the ceiling to get a smooth surface, or you can buy 600 wide ceiling panels that are beveled to add structure to the ceiling.
CarMan: Thank you for the detailed answer. My house has 3 pupil trusses in a row. The house has 3 half-levels & the roof is a continuous surface with a slope of about 7 degrees. The house was built in 69 & the trusses look handmade. Because I have 3 trusses in a row, I also have 2 load-bearing walls inside the house + 2 exterior walls. It is the middle of these 3 trusses that will be modified a
jessica: I have them myself on my railing..so they do exist :D Ours look like the ones Immobil shows. Good luck!
stenhus05: Check the one called vitpeppar on Starka's color chart on their website. Maybe it's something like what you're looking for? I haven't looked closely, but they probably have a list of retailers where you live. http://www.starka.se/fargkarta.asp best regards stenhus05
drx: If you can name the boards you have previously used, I think the rest of us would understand what you're looking for. I, just like fasting65, guess you're referring to huntonitskivor, and you probably won't be able to get those for 40 kr/sqm. The cheapest I've seen for huntonit is at Bauhaus, and sometimes K-rauta also has promotions on these.
djpa: The choice largely depends on what the wall will be used for. For example, with Leca as a retaining wall, more reinforcement might be needed, possibly larger blocks, etc., than for a freestanding wall. Regardless, I have received the following prices (approximate): Lock-Block XL: approx. 1300:-/m[sup]2[/sup] Leca including plaster: approx. 1000:-/m[sup]2[/sup] L-support: approx.
pitan: The door should be top-hung. I have bought sliding door fittings from De Jong that should handle a door leaf weighing 80 kg.
niclasella: A neighbor I spoke with had bought mexi bricks for 4 SEK each. I don't know where, but it's definitely worth checking out. Somewhere in Germany, anyway. But check Poland too, there are some threads if you search here. Stena-line has some info about buying building materials in Poland. Good luck. Regards, Niclas
mattiasp: [citat] Yes, admittedly, but it is also quite easily bendable. The walls will continue to be bumpy. I have the same problem myself and have considered straightening it with masonite strips. I don't think I have clay plaster inside the masonite. I suspect it's rendering with reed mat and the whole shebang.
Shrek: To continue this thread, I can now tell you that I have "splashed plaster" or "splattered" my wall with Serpo Sockelputs with very good results. There was just one thing that went completely wrong. The color (curtain...) :-X But, shame on the one who gives up (especially he who gives up on small tasks ;D). The reason for the total misjudgment was something I’ve read about earlier, but that
Haagbard: I just sawed some unedged 2 & 3 inch pine planks up to 450 mm wide........thinking about making sawhorse tables and hosting a Viking feast with mead and fly agaric, maybe the extreme threshold business would be more lucrative [bild]
Froggy: ;D Now I know what to do ;D Mineritskiva steel frame and stone wool insulation.
EARTH22: A very good response from "brasse". Would have also bought an Isokern chimney... damn good stuff!
EARTH22: Derome Byggvaror has... I know that, because I have bought there!! www.deromebyggvaror.se
KnockOnWood: Nail: 5 inches (125 mm) is a standard size Pre-drill in the lath, otherwise it will crack! //KoW
zankan: [citat] But that's really a minor problem... If you're doing it seriously, you cut off between 5 and 10 cm at the end grain, right? :-)
