  • 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

  • Why you say so?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I think people don' know that the "studs" what I didn't know were are hidden behind the Plywood.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • What does this mean? Am I doing something wrong?

  • 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.

  • The wall is behind the 6x6 cm squared timber.

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