DHI Planning and Living St. Wendel

That all sounds pretty smooth I'm really looking forward to tomorrow

Hello hello, it hasn't been raining inside here since yesterday. At least not through the roof.

Quick question on the side, how is it going with tiles for you?! Which company do you have on board?!

Regards Martin

It no longer rains in here either. Today at least the foil was put on, on Monday the sheets will follow.

Today we also finished painting the fire-retardant coating and already attached the counter battens on which the OSB boards will later be placed in the attic.

Regarding tiles, the company Stolz is on board with us. I already know their impeccable quality from other houses as well. However, we have not chosen any yet.

Hi guys,
how are things with you!?
Yesterday the final invoice from the roofer arrived, the windows will probably be finished and installed by Wednesday, before the holiday, so our hut will then be closed. Accordingly, the heating engineer will start his work after the week with the holiday.

We will probably start with the [Aufbrennsperre] on Thursday or Friday. Any tips on this?! Type of brush, mixing ratio, respiratory protection, etc...?

Regards Martin

Hello Martin,
the roof is on with us, the windows are in, and the plasterers have already done a really great job on the upper floor. The ground floor is still pending.
From Wednesday we will be laying the floor insulation in EL. I’m curious to see how much effort that will be.

Regarding the burn-in barrier:
We applied it with rollers in a mixing ratio of 1:2 (that’s what we were told). For that, I simply bought two rollers with handles and two drip grids at the hardware store. There was also a somewhat larger brush for the corners, my cordless drill with a mixing paddle (can also be done by hand), a simple bucket for the first mixture, and a meter to determine the quantities for the mixing ratio.
Roll the rollers nicely on the drip grids, otherwise you’ll have the whole stuff on the floor. Then distribute evenly.
For the first attempts, I recommend wearing a cap, long-sleeved clothes, and gloves, as it does splash a bit. Or just take a brush into the shower with you. Over time it gets easier. In my opinion, respiratory protection is not necessary.
If you keep at it with two people, you should be done in 2-3 days.

Hello,

the screed drying program of the heating has been running with us for 10 days... currently a cozy 28°C in the house... but hardly any more humidity... we really had great weather from the start.

In the basement replacement room I insulated last week, foil on top, battens, counter battens and gypsum plasterboards on top. In the house the drywall installer installed the complete insulation and the foil. We are trying the battens and gypsum plasterboards ourselves. We will start that next week. Currently it is just too warm.

Burn-through barrier.... only tip.. old clothes and a hat... the stuff doesn’t come out that well anymore... you don’t need respiratory protection... we applied it with a “normal” roller... I think the mixing ratio was 2:1 so 2 water 1 of the stuff... and best to mix well with a stirrer... If you still have time to paint it before the window installation I would recommend that... otherwise you have to tape everything off.
