Hello everyone,
we are currently building a house and received the upper floor ceiling at the end of last week.
As can be seen in the first photo, the wooden ceiling is not properly resting on the floor ceiling, which was somewhat fixed today by retrofitting a few stones (photo 2).
Where the beams rest, there is still 1-2mm of air.
We are now wondering if this is "normal" or if it constitutes a defect?
Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to assess as laypersons and we are now concerned that, figuratively speaking, "the ceiling might fall on our heads" or that the structural integrity is compromised.
It would be great if someone could say something about this :)
Thank you very much
