Covering walls and ceiling (Ep.10) Building a house by myself

[@Nyllsor]

Lol the door in the end!! xD Happens to even the best of us ;)

[@MrSteeDoo]

I do like the idea of always having a solid surface to attach anywhere.

How thick is the osb you are putting on your wall? How thick is the plaster board on the walls and ceiling? when you screw the plaster board on the walls are you going into the framing or just the osb?

[@mindsparx1]

The OSB is 11 mm and the plaster is 12-13 mm. The plaster is screwed into the OSB which means I don't have to aim for any studs.

I like the idea of having plumbing inside the insulated space but how do you prevent puncturing them when you hang something on the wall?

[@MrSteeDoo]

By using nails or screws of the proper length.

[@mindsparx1]

@@MrSteeDoo True, we use screws that is a bit shorter to not punch holes in the wires and plumbing. If you dont use OSB behind the plaster you can use dry wall anchors, they are not sharp.

[@Davesobscurevideos]

Pot fillers are really not common in the U.S. In the hundreds of houses I've been in I don't recall ever even seeing one. Though it may differ in some areas.

[@jordy46682]

Isn't the insulation on the inside of the vapour barrier going to rotten with trapped moisture and then eventually the OSB will also rot and /or become mouldy? 🤔

[@jaunteraudi817]

Yeah, this is a great question, but still, this is a great project, gonna build my house based on this channels videos ;)

[@jasperrodrigues7026]

I was thinking the same thing, curious to hear the answer.

[@mindsparx1]

No it wont, since the cold air is on the out side of that 25cm thick wall and the extra 45 cm wont affect that.

[@jaunteraudi817]

@@mindsparx1 o.k. thanks for the answer 👍

[@robertboyer5498]

If it rotted the osb it would also rot the studs. So, no.

[@jaunteraudi817]

Why you went with osb and then plaster, instead double plaster walls?

[@jasperrodrigues7026]

My thinking is that it gives you a solid material to screw into to hang shelves, pictures, etc, letting you avoid the crappy drywall anchors we have here in NA. Just my guess though.
