new timber

[charta77]

Hello.

Is there any risk of incorporating a new rule in the floor or wall? I'm thinking about the moisture content in the timber, does it need to be below a certain threshold first?

Addition: It's not freshly sawn timber but timber from a building supply store that I'm considering.

And what do you mean by "bygga in". Will any potential moisture be able to go somewhere?

That's right. This cheat rule will be in the bathroom. There, they've managed to place two moisture barriers. On the one hand, there's the waterproofing layer in the bathroom, and then there's a plastic film at the bottom of the floor/cellar ceiling. Whether this plastic film is a real moisture barrier, I don't know, but it is a plastic film. Personally, I doubt this plastic film, so I can probably cut it with a clear conscience.

This rule is probably not the most important one to fit in. I will screw gypsum boards onto the existing wooden floor. The studs are otherwise set at 50 cc. But what I thought about with this rule is that since I cut up the floor to replace the drain, I cut about 1 cm from the existing stud. So I get a bounce on the remaining part. The gypsum boards will probably stabilize this again when they're screwed down since they will lie fully across the studs.

Additional note: So the timber sold at the lumberyard, is it construction-dry, or is there a risk that by using this timber, moisture is built in?

So, the timber sold at building supply stores, is it construction dry, or is there a risk that using this timber builds in moisture.

If it has been stored under a roof and doesn't feel damp, there's no danger in building it in.

The limit is supposed to be at 18%. If it's more humid than that, it can mold during construction.
