Grogon OP ,

It's on the left side next to the built in oven.
I have a smaller fridge with freezer built in but I have a larger fridge and freezer in the technical room to store stuff I don't need daily.

I don't know why but I never needed a big fridge. Tbh I had a half empty two door fridge the last years that I never filled up and always had to clean and throw stuff away I had bought but never used/ forgot in that fridge lol.

Not saying the fridge and freezer I have in that kitchen now is "small", I'd say medium. Still enough room to store the stuff I use for a week or two.

Grogon OP ,

Thanks! :)

Grogon OP ,

Thank you! I love the tiles in that kitchen. And I love that my friends can just come over, drink a coffee and still talk with me while I am cooking something.
The window next to the stove also gets the smell out quite fast.

Grogon OP ,

Thanks! :-) It isn't done, we are finishing the kitchen tomorrow and one shelf is already installed (right side) very small. Two others are being installed where the poweroutlet is and a little bit above it (counter top) as extension and open shelf.

Grogon OP , (edited )

The kitchen is on tiles and the other floor in the living room is slightly infront of the tiles.
So the kitchen is basically standing on the tiles and the wall of the cabinets is closing it.

Which gap do you mean?

The gap under the kitchen is still going to be closed tomorrow.
The floor/wall gap on the right side is getting a skirting board in 2-3 weeks.

So kitchen isn't standing on the wood floor, only on tiles and the cover will slightly be (2-3 cm) in front of the tiles and slightly above the wood floor (0.2mm) so we can't see the tiles from the front (only wood floor).

This is what it looked like without kitchen:

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c510e32b-342c-452f-bff6-3ad2b8e7b887.jpeg

So basically the wood floor has 0,5 cm gap to the walls and tiles and the cover of the kitchen will be in front of the gap.
Ideally I won't see the gap because it is behind the kitchen cover once we are done :)

The area underneith the cabinet is "open" and we wanted it not to be seeable tiles so we put the wood floor there. It was a bit complicated to messure it exactly so I had to "end" the tiles about 1.20 meters before I started the wood floor with 0,5 cm distance to the tiles.

In the pictures you can't see it but if you are in the kitchen and take the cover away you can see about 7 cm's of wood floor and then the cover and on the other side of the kitchen (my view in pictures) you can't see the tiles and the 7 cm of wood floor because they are behind the cover.

Grogon OP ,

It isn't actually an island, behind the open space where the leg space is and you can see the cover are more legs.

So it isn't really an island and the part that is "floating" into the window for bar chairs has a cabinet behind it too. So basically only 1/3 of it is "air" attached to the wall,

Does this kitchen plan help:

Grogon OP ,

I just laid it out to see. I gotta Sand the floor first and vapor barrier first.

Obvious though it was only to make pictures to Show it. Who starts in the middle lol

Grogon OP ,

Yeah dunno our mirror is gonna be across that part anyways (I hope it will cover that up) but well you can see I sanded to much mud or didn't put enough mud across the plasterboard so thats why there is a "dent".

To me I gotta say it doesn't look fine but looks fine enough for saving that much money lol.

Grogon OP ,

Man I heard so many things about tradies (not positive)....

The only person I have to hunt down is me if things look bad lol.

Grogon OP ,
Grogon OP ,
Grogon OP ,

Dunno cause the tiles on the wall sometimes look pinkish and I am not sure if the floor is to greyish.

It just sometimes feels like it doesnt really Match. My mother and my wife said it looks great and I like it too, it is only sonetimes I get this feeling lol

Thanks for the responses everyone. I just finished grouting the tiles an hour ago. This is what they look like now!

I think I will keep the tiles, it looks better now!

Grogon OP ,

I see what you mean, but the shower is behind the wall I took the picture of.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d6086613-be6d-45d5-87de-fabf0a57f5a1.png

I angled them inside the shower but I also have a glas door just in case the water will flow out of it that I will install once I tested the shower lol.

Grogon OP ,

Thanks! :-) It’s a lot of work, especially I’m no professional just trying what I can do lol. It’s gonna take a while because I gotta finish the other rooms in the house too lol :D

Grogon OP ,

Thaanks for helping! I was scared though lol. Almost thought my company constructed a huge pile of dirt and that I got a huge problem now.

Grogon OP ,

What do you mean? Sorry I am not english speaking.

Grogon OP ,

Hi thanks!

Can I just install more 6x6 cm frames and make it more stable in the area I want to hang something or would that not help?

In general, I can hang plasterboard on 6x6 though right?

Grogon OP ,

I can give you the wall structure here:

wolfhaus.info/…/das-grosse-plus-innenwand-aussenw…

Maybe you can help me with this information

Grogon OP ,

The wall is behind the 6x6 cm squared timber.

The reason for 6x6 cm squared timber is for the electricity level.

Grogon OP ,

I can give you the wall structure here:

wolfhaus.info/…/das-grosse-plus-innenwand-aussenw…

Maybe you can help me with this information

Grogon OP ,

Insulation is already behind the squared timber.

The wall is actually behind the frame I am putting on the wall. It is an installation level for electricity and I can hang my plasterboards on that.

The insulation is 240mm thick behind the Plywood. That is where the vapor barrier is and the other plywood.

Grogon OP ,

www.wolf-haus.de/ihr-mehrwert/mehr-holz/

If you scroll down:

The wall is complete. I am doing step 5 (6x6 cm timber) and tthe plasterboard. Behind the timber that I am putting on the wall is about 33 cm thick

Grogon OP ,

I cant knock that wall down. Its like 40 cm thick.

www.wolf-haus.de/ihr-mehrwert/mehr-holz/

Maybe if you see this you can help me :(

So I am attaching 6x6 cm squared timber onto an existing wall that is 40 cm thick

Grogon OP ,
Grogon OP ,

What does this mean? Am I doing something wrong?

Grogon OP ,

Yes.

I have two specialists for wood houses coming.

The wall behind the 6x6cm timber that I put on is about 40cm thick. I am basically just adding 6x6cm timber for installation (electricity mainly) and to hang my plasterboards. The windows are sitting on a very thick wood inside the main wall behind the 6x6 cm installation floor

Grogon OP ,

I didn’t do much yet.

I only attached a few 6x6 cm squared timber onto the main wall that is 33cm thick currently. But I will ask my construction dude.

Grogon OP ,

I think people don’ know that the “studs” what I didn’t know were are hidden behind the Plywood.

Grogon OP ,

My english isn’t that good I think I can’t follow.

The beam in that room is holding a top floor and roof and should hold way more. The wall that the beam is sitting on is about 35 cm thick.

Grogon OP ,

So I guess I should be fine?

I am having heart attack and panic right now.

My construction dude told me to apply 6x6 cm squared timber for installation (electricity) and spread the about 30 cm apart from each other around the house. Once the electrician comes and installs everything and is finished I can install plasterboard onto the 6x6cm squared timber.

I am just not sure if I can hang anything on the plasterboard that is attached to 6x6cm timber. It would be alot more stable if I could get rid of the 6x6cm timber and attach plasterboard to plywood (like the inside walls).

At the end he said it’s for electricity only and my safety so I don’t break the vapor barrier later if I screw something into the plasterboard. So I have about 6 cm “air” before the “real” wall starts after the plywood.

Its basically from inside to outside:

Plasterboard -> 6x6 cm squared timber -> Plywood -> Studs -> Vapor Barrier -> Insulation (240mm wool) ->… in the end the totall wall is about 39cm thick.

Grogon OP ,

I have bigger screws in those that go into a bigger piece of wood behind the plywall.

I guess it’s the studs then. So my 6x6 cm squared timber that I am installing vertically is going into studs behind the plywall

Grogon OP ,

Alright cool.

Yeah well I am just a nurse too (but in germany) or else I’d not have to ask here lol.

I sent a picture of the subconstruction to the kitchen company and they will tell me more.

Grogon OP ,

lol :-) I really almost sh*t my pants cause I thought the house was constructed good and suddenly everyone tells me to contact help and that I am lost.

Grogon OP ,

Why you say so?

Grogon OP ,

Those arent studs.

The Studs are in the wall behind the Plywood.

That is just 6x6 cm for electricity and safety space not to danage vapor barrier behind the real wall

Grogon OP ,

Super danke !!! : )

Grogon OP ,

Here is a picture of the wall how it looked when the house got delivered

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2b92ebf4-9be0-4be0-8c64-fd321973813d.jpeg

Grogon OP ,

Ja voll cool!

Ich habe alle Wände abfotografiert und Abmessungen der Lattungen (30cm Abstände) gemerkt. Aber das es sowas gibt ist ja echt wahnsinn. Danke!

Grogon OP ,

Er meint damit also, dass es nichts bringt, weitere Lattungen anzubringen?

Mein Plan ist aktuell:

Küchenanbieter anschreiben und Monteur der Küche ob die Lattungen so in Ordnung sind. Die angebrachte Lattung markieren, sodass der Monteur später dann die Hängeschränke an den Rigips & Lattung schrauben kann und nicht ins “leere” trifft.
