So it was adjustments again.
Currently renovating or rather completely rebuilding the upper floor.
I've been trying to find a constructor for a long time!
I live in the middle of Skåne (snow zone 1.5) but there doesn't seem to be one here. Spoke with someone in Lund but they wanted 5000 just to come out and see IF they could help, and nothing would come out of it for that cost. Also felt like the person I talked to was newly graduated.
Anyway, if anyone knows a construction engineer in my Skåne, I thank you in advance for the tip.
So I'm trying and hoping for the BH team instead.
I have a slightly odd house without direct beams anywhere; instead, it's standing 22x170mm planks on 20cm CC. Yes, it's written correctly, planks! not beams. Every 120cm, double 22x170 planks have been placed.
Not even the outer roof is supported by beams; it's planks on 20cm CC there as well, and then tongue and groove as the surface. However, I believe that the tongue and groove is newly laid. I know there were clay tiles earlier, but now it's shingles. However, I would like to switch back at some point in the future.
The roof shape is also odd. "Hip roof," with slopes on all four sides.
The house was built in 1952, two stories with thick concrete exterior walls. The house is completely square, 9x9m, with a large chimney in the center. So I see it as a "two-story functionalist with a hip roof."
The intermediate floor is also of similar planks as the upper floor. These run in the same direction (on the drawing from bottom to top) over the entire area with 20cm CC and are supported by two sturdy concrete walls across the middle of the house. They are directly under wall A and C.
The original insulation in the upper floor's ceiling is of sawdust, and then tiny pieces of polystyrene have been added over the whole area. The upper floor's ceiling with its planks lies somewhat haphazardly. That is, in both directions depending on where they are.
The brown lines show the approximate placement and direction of the ceiling planks
Today's walls (light blue)
Wall (A & C) is of standing 50x170 tongued timber
Wall (B & D) is of 35mm frame with standing 22x170 tongued on both sides
Wall E has been removed
The walls on the lower floor run from the outer walls to the chimney. Like a + but slightly shifted
Walls A, C & D are above the respective concrete wall on the lower floor.
Wall B is a bit strange as the lower floor wall is 1 meter to the right. That is, in line with the left edge of the chimney, like the door closest to the chimney.
The white square is a supporting frame in the attic for the outer roof (see image). Planks there as well, but narrower approximately 22x70 with some odd measurements
What we want to do is a much more open floor plan
The red one should be a wooden beam. 225x45 should be enough
Then the others are a good question. It depends on what is needed.
I have some ideas on how I could conceal as much as possible
What do you think?
