Latest "The Angry Carpenter" how did they do it?

[Kurtivan]

Just watched the latest episode of Arga Snickaren where they lacked a basement floor, and a loose mix of water/clay made up the floor during the first visit. When all the craftsmen arrived later, the floor was completed, how did they actually manage that?

They used their last savings. 😜

The carpenter initially talked about filling up with macadam. I assume they filled up to a bit above the water, possibly insulated a little, and poured a slab on top. From what I saw, they threw on a needle felt carpet, so there might not have been space for insulation, and the wall-to-wall carpet became a stopgap solution to prevent freezing one's toes off.

There is underfloor heating embedded. The underfloor heating unit took up space, so he cut up the garage door to much delight.

While that episode is on the agenda. I wonder about the moisture expertise of Arga Snickaren. They started by installing studs, insulating, and finished with OSB and drywall. Isn't that a classic mold-prone construction in a basement? Especially when there seems to be very high water pressure.

It sounds like a risk with both the floor and walls. I also noticed that they used gullfiber as insulation on the inside.

I never think those shows cover the really interesting solutions. Watching them spackle and paint for 10 minutes each episode isn't exactly exciting. The worst is probably with Martin Timell, who usually stands and uses a screwdriver for 5 minutes in every episode...

As for the basement, there will probably be different conditions if it needs to maintain room temperature all the time...

It's all just about advertising, nothing else.

They did something devilishly ugly with the linings anyway, some squares in the corners.

Agreed, GERA!!!

I did not see, and usually do not watch, the program but regarding "klossar" as an ending/corner on moldings/trims, I think sometimes it is completely OK. It totally depends on the circumstances!

Yes, I also sat there puzzled about what the heck happened with the floor, because that was something he made a big deal of in the beginning (laughed, pushed a rod in, poked with a shovel, joked about a swimming pool, etc.) then NOT A WORD about what happened, who fixed it, and HOW they did it. I was convinced I had missed a few minutes and recorded the rerun too, but no, nothing was mentioned.

I feel like ArgaSnickaren has somehow gotten worse in the last seasons. There's nothing "interesting." I don't know if one simply got tired of it or if they produce the shows differently. What annoys me the most is the totally pointless 10-second clip after the commercial called "STRAIGHT AHEAD." It serves no purpose at all, is it just there to irritate you? Then also, the fact that the program has been chopped up with several shorter 2-3 minute commercial breaks doesn't make the viewing any better.

Not sure if it was clear, but there were about 3 kids there, and only two got new rooms, where is the third supposed to sleep? As it was now, they all slept in the living room? Something both my wife and I wondered about... Before, the focus was always on making sure each child had their own room, and serious conflicts arose over this (the worst was probably the episode with the guy who built the world's largest garage, had a 3-million-crown boat in the harbor, and then couldn’t afford to finish the rooms for his kids...)

Did I see correctly in today's episode? Did they install the fixture directly against the drywall? I wonder what BKR/GVK says about that?

I feel that ArgaSinckaren has somehow gotten worse in the recent seasons. It's not "interesting." I don't know if I've just had enough of it or if they produce the shows differently. What annoys me the most is this totally pointless 10-second clip after the commercials called "STRAX". It serves no purpose at all, is it just there to irritate you? Also, the fact that the show has been cut up with several shorter 2-3 minute commercial breaks doesn't make watching any better.

When you watch commercial TV, you are the product and the advertiser is the customer. That's why they've gotten so good at making soup out of a nail. The goal is to keep you in front of the commercials as cheaply as possible.
