Building Materials and Construction Technology
Bob_the_builder: Yes, you're on the right track. Single-story houses generally have self-supporting trusses (which only need support on the exterior walls). However, there can be some special solutions at areas like entrance roofs that can make other walls load-bearing. Do you have trusses, i.e., with internal supports in the form of a W? If so, they are almost certainly self-supporting. You don't build
jorwes: How the heck can you insert images? No matter what you do with fake logs, it will show somewhere. Nothing compares to a real log house. If you're considering building a log house, why not buy an old house and move it. That's what we did and it went great! [bild] There was supposed to be an image here but... The cost won't be less than building a stick-built house, but compared to buying a new
lind75: I was planning to plaster a chimney wall indoors so that it comes out to the same level as the wall that meets the chimney. The plaster ended up being about 25mm thick.
Magnus_Nordmark: [citat] Exactly. Another aspect to consider is fire safety. A steel beam is significantly worse in terms of fire safety because it collapses much earlier than a wooden one. A steel beam twists and becomes soft already at a few hundred degrees, whereas a wooden beam burns slowly. A wooden framework thus stands much longer than a steel one in a fire. Therefore, steel beams are often clad with
sollentuna: Yes, sigh, I guess I'll just have to buy a new cable then, and 32A costs 800 SEK at Malmbergs. Anyone want to buy a 25 m 16A cable? Thanks for the help!
Fasting65: habo. k40 is called rail and fittings - then they are ball-bearing. check www.habo.com
Betina: [citat] What is masonite good for? During the 1970s, it seems that masonite was installed practically everywhere! I've seen it behind tiles in bathrooms, as "wallpaperable" walls in timber houses, under floorboards in crawl spaces (with earth at the bottom), as flooring in root cellars, and even as capillary-breaking (:o) material under sills. In none of these places did the masonite "survive,"
Ubbe: AArgggg - another suggestion ;) How the heck am I supposed to decide ::) What is the difference between våtrumsgips and regular drywall?
tommiz: How fun that someone noticed the same thing. I am also curious about that construction of mirror panel. Buying ready-made is not an option for me because I need to be able to adjust the mirror width of the panel according to the room. Martin Timell made a version in MDF which is on tv4's website if you search. Does anyone know more about the "kvarteret" panel????? Best regards, Tommy
frasse: Beam shoe becomes slightly more stable, otherwise it is common to nail through the floor structure (truss in your case). Then you alternate every other shortling 45mm sideways so you avoid skew nailing.
Fasting65: Thanks for the tips. Since the sliding door wall is being built from one side, it's difficult to have boards on both sides of a stud construction. Over the weekend, the wall was made - it consists of: - 25 mm sekundärregel, OSB, Gypsum board.
Norpan: I think we will visit Leroy Merlin and Obi first. We'll see what else we have time for. Tonight we're leaving! Tomorrow it's shopping!! ;D
wepart: Certainly, cut them equally at the top and bottom, but you need to move the hinge attachments, a bit of hassle but a cheaper alternative if you do it yourself.
zankan: R 45 around 10 kronor per meter R 70 12 kronor. The acoustic studs about 4-5 kronor more expensive per meter Reinforcement studs for load-bearing construction 35-70 kronor per meter. Underlay with regular fabric 15-25 kronor per meter... A tip if you want wooden studs and want to avoid nailing is to use metal tracks and wooden studs. Convenient and nice. Although personally, I think metal is
Fasting65: byggmax only sells one model of frame. There is a CERTAIN price difference between frame and frame.
betula: It depends on how moist the lumber has become and how dry you want it. Spruce 50x100 mm that has been moistened up to 25% and is placed on spacers indoors in a room climate (40% RH) takes 12-14 days to reach 15%. In a month, the lumber reaches 10%, so it doesn't happen as quickly as one might think. More heat and some ventilation speeds up the process, as Bob the builder writes. However, be
Solana: David, how did you rent a truck and send the things home with it? Price?
betula: Yes, bog oak has been in water for a long time to become bog oak, and it's expensive enough. But what's the point of making powder from bog oak and then brushing it onto some surface??? If you want the appearance of bog oak, you could, for example, stain or use a colored oil or lacquer. It's fake anyway; it doesn't become real bog oak just because you brush on some in powder form. Real bog oak is
Hässleskog: Hello, I am trying to find out if both regular Lecablock and Isoblock are available in Poland. Optiroc is present in Poland and has a web address http://www.optiroc.pl. Brochures available for download show that the range is different from Optiroc in Sweden - but maybe someone who speaks Polish can send an email to the company and ask? It would be an act of kindness... :)
tiggre: -68 was right in the middle of the best radon building time... 1. do a radon measurement 2. tear out everything organic in the basement (edit) see no reason to bring anticimex if you can even smell it... :P
AndersG: We have stainless steel 12mm pipes as fence posts. They do flex, but you really have to apply force...
AndersG: I bought the järnvitriolen from a paint dealer ;) Otherwise, check out our website. There's a little info about järnvitriolbehandling there.
sami: Hi, I would like to hear experiences about "Besta block," I'm planning to build soon and have been in contact with carpenters with different views! Best regards, Sami. :-
johan_p: hahaha :) kapmaskin it is, those of you who seem to have done this, what type of kapmaskin should one have?
