On Saturday after the local position (21.08) could we start with the expansion pack. On the advice of the project manager we had pushed all other work a week later, by two weeks to have time for the expansion pack. He was concerned that we do it in a week. The course has given us extra motivation. So let's get to
ran some grub. The first day proved a little difficult because everything was new and none of the was necessary routine. Accordingly, the result was a little leaner than in the following days. Because we had hard-working volunteers, we were able to fight on several fronts. Some have started on the ground floor the plaster on the ceiling to screw, others have started on the first floor with the insulation. Quick
fell on us that we have the difficulty of the high ceilings (some over 3.5 meters) is slightly underestimated. While we were with height-adjustable scaffolding frames, (a loan from a neighbor), well equipped, but the desktop is still very limited. At the end of the first day we had the plates in the kitchen and in a part of the living room above the floor was the insulation between rafters and the film in an area already inside.
Over the following days, we are fully focused on the floor and worked there in several rooms simultaneously. With increasing routine we went and our helpers each handle was easier on the hand and the progress from day to day.
The Thursday went almost entirely for an additional battens in the bathroom it. We have decided to do this because we want to use the bathroom recessed spotlights and violate the vapor barrier sheet did not want. We should have enough space under the gypsum boards have.
On Saturday there was still time major battle with five helpers. On this day, the bathroom upstairs was finished and closed the rest of the ceiling in the EC. At about 19:00 we could say: "We have done!" We thus need a week for the expansion pack.
Special thanks again to take this opportunity to all our helpers (The parents of both of us, Mario's brother and girlfriend Anya's brother, the extra help to 300km driving distance has accepted) You rule!
The accumulated experience and a few tips, we wanted to pass on this also:
Worried you a magazine screwdriver and a plate lift. No other tool can match this in terms of speed and precision.
order the clips in which the vapor barrier sheet is attached to cover, you can pre-cutting the tape with a sharp utility knife on the support layer into pieces. It's quick and the pieces can then be solved by the great support layer.
The gypsum boards are attached to the short side parallel to the battens. If they go into a room the direction of the plates move, but leave enough overhang so that it does not come at the transition to cracks.
Konterlattungsabstand upstairs max. 37cm (center to center Latte Latte). Two wooden slats as a stop to size, then the attachment of the battens is a breeze.
screw spacing for fitting the plasterboard must be max. Be 15cm. 42 screws per plate full power. Do not use parentheses (If the wood dries out, it may be that solved the brackets).
power cables for the lighting is best right after the battens pull to the right place, otherwise they easily fall into oblivion.
We have a total of approximately 3500 drywall screws and about 600 screws for battens and the like installed.
