Thank you for all the tips! Went to the timber yard yesterday and in my eagerness, I cut the studs a bit short. So my question is as follows, would it be okay to first screw up a frame along the walls and then stud as usual?

not wrong to have a frame, just more places to fasten the ceiling moulding later (if you intend to have a ceiling moulding)

Thank you for the quick response!

How short are they? A 'fullösning' could be to shift every other beam towards the respective wall so that they sit a bit in a zigzag, so to speak. The downside, as @meckis points out, is that it becomes harder to find the right point to attach the ceiling molding.

Another advantage of the frame is that the sides become straighter. Even small deviations are quite visible when a molding is placed along it. It depends a bit on how wide the boards you plan to use are.

Hi, they are about 13cm too short. Sounds like it will be a frame

I mostly run ram for that reason, much better.

Awesome! Any tips on suitable screws?

 

[meckis]

for common fully threaded countersunk wood construction screws, perhaps 70 long if you're using 28x70. if you're not looking for studs. otherwise, maybe 100 long.

for drywall =drywall screws for single drywall and thread for wood

to joint so regular fully threaded countersunk wood construction screw maybe 70 long if you're using 28x70. if you're not looking for studs. otherwise maybe 100 long.

for drywall = drywall screws for single drywall and thread for wood

Thanks!

One more question, might as well take advantage of everyone's helpfulness . I see that there are some gaps between the countertop and the wall. Is this "normal"? Should I fill it in with some kind of caulk?

One more question, might as well take advantage when everyone is so helpful . I see that there are some gaps between the roof and the wall. Is this "normal"? Should I fill it in with some type of foam sealant?

have you had problems there before?

 

[williamspäron]

No, no problems as far as I know (just bought the house), normally there are studs and moldings there so this is only visible now, before I'm going to put up a new ceiling.

You can squeeze in some latex or foam sealant, useful if you feel there's a draft.
