Some questions about floors- what, where, when?
Welcome, ladies, gentlemen and friends!
Go straight to the heart of the topic.
Inputs:
The house is brick, one-story, of 50-ies of the last century building, the thickness of walls, well, maybe 50-60 inches.
A rectangular form (or rather that part of the question).
Size 9.5 m * 7.7 m.
For a soil is clay. The foundation well as I say, that it is not in the usual sense of the word but the autopsy revealed something like a bed of gravel or other large stone. Base (let's call that part of the wall from the stones to the bottom and between the rows of brick roofing material) is also brick (sorry for the butter oil), some of it under the ground, some of the ground under the floor. There is no drainage around the house, I pile up all shot in the fall, since the bursting of the concrete chunks called a blind area, it is not possible. In addition, there are no roof gutters.
Bricks outside the house near the ground fall off pieces together with plaster, and inside the house apparently wet pulls the moisture from the bottom or from the outside. The earth is also wet. In the basement of the wall there are walled ends 4 sill or perhaps more correctly which stretch from one wall to the other, occasionally leaning on the concrete columns in the ground (almost lying on the ground).
Across these brands there are lag-large-logs, which were used to lay the forty, shorter cold floors in every sense of the word.
Distance from Mother Earth to the rough floor is around 40 cm.
In the basement there are three cracks, two on mutually opposite sides, and one on the perpendicular (this crack was inundated during the next repair of blind area).
In the corners of the rooms were holes in the floor like a ventilation of underground.
Prologue.
In short, if you've read this far, thanks you for your interest in my problem. In general, the floors are rotting. And, significantly, in the corners of rooms, where were these poor grids and the floor was practically failed.
An autopsy showed that in these places lags, despite their impressive form actually turned into a fine dust, for the company and the ends rotted floorboards.
And in my memory 15 years ago logs and boards in that place have been changed. So, as I thought that was not casual. If the corners are rotting, so there is lack of ventilation ... and with that thought before littered picked open in the basement. Then I came up with a brilliant idea, to change the entire floor and insulate it.
After reading hundreds of pages of forum house, I saw clearly that it was dark deal...
The main part.
Drowning in a sea of information confirmed by outstanding theorists and practitioners, my fevered brain drew this picture.
Appears I'm standing barefoot in the house, let in the warm budget laminate underneath as usual substrate underneath plywood, well, let's say 18 bolted to the crate of rails (or boards). A vapor barrier under the rails, comfortably covering basalt wool, a layer of 100 mm (2 * 50 mm with overlapping joints) who brutally sandwiched between the boards 50 × 150, and bottom rails gently supported a subfloor. Well, all this beautiful course I antiseptic economic and other biosecurity (incidentally the prose of life, old logs and planks have been eaten by the bug).
Damn lost my romantic mood ...
Well, it all lies the farm on my four beams, pre-peeled terribly corrosive deposits can even be (well, it is unlikely that they receive this honor) painted.
And at the bottom, that is, the film is a bit of land, what type, to cut off the moisture.
Now questions for our experts:
What is wrong? I feel that all this construction will rot just like before ... to improve a ventilation by increasing the number of cracks as well as a height and underground is not possible ... to gloss over the base from the inside no to soak the walls.
Where make grids on the floor? Someone says under the batteries, some one-in corners, someone along the wall perimeter, someone says that, in general, and tightly seal all wall up. When open and close these fuck’n cracks? Someone closes in the winter and opens in the summer, someone does not close completely, and someone lives without these cracks.
After all, if the floor is insulated, the underground turns cold contrary, so how is with winding in the winter?
In short, please do not kick down and calm me by writing something like:
"Dude, all you will get, you do not squirm in vain for two months, exposing the floor of the house, and to heap smashing everything inside walls, braking all wiring and ceiling and in addition to dig around the outside perimeter of the house to ditch 1.5 meters deep, to make sure that the basement waterproofing is not possible due to its complete lack of ".
Epilogue.
By the way, (and maybe not by the way) all the old plaster was broken off from the walls. Now, I think maybe I shouldn’t’ t do it.
