Can I Rig My Furnace To Stay On

More Grey ...

As a result of the last thermography today, the ceiling on the upper floor was opened. The evaluation team had indeed made to further leakage. The damage not to make it bigger than it already is, but the flooring in the loft has been partially opened to the whole view from above. And, surprise: More mold ...
The first stop is at the vent in the sanitary area:

to see in the picture is the open floor and the gray-clad vent pipe. In this area was in the terminal the vapor barrier is not properly prepared and thus able to warm, moist air from the bathroom including escape upwards. The moisture is then immediately condenses on the cold wall and mold formed (on the wall behind the pipe).



another unpleasant surprise then did a few yards further on. In the area of the purlins, a critical point are, and so there was also opened to the floor. And what came to Vorschein? Genau, Schimmel...




An dieser Stelle ist die Diagnose anscheinend nicht so einfach, da direkt kein Loch in der Folie zu sehen war. Allerdings kommen hier mehrere Indizien zusammen: Eine Dusche befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe und die Stoßkanten der Dampfsperre sind in diesem Bereich verklebt...
Diese Stoßkanten wurden dann nochmal nachgeklebt, der Bodenbelag ausgetauscht und nun warten wir auf eine Kontrolle durch den Gutachter bei der nächsten Thermographie.

this shows clearly that a stock blower-door test just says nothing about building physical defects. Without thermography these defects had not found this one so quickly. And if they do, only if the damage is much greater. The few hundred Euro are usually a good investment if you want to be sure.

To be continued ...

finally sealed switch?

was another topic and the leaking switch the electric shutters and sometimes a few outlets that are placed in external walls. This were already at the first thermography diagnosed, but now only done hopefully for good. This time examples of where and how hard it "pulls"





is not entirely clear why the switches are not sealed. Either the empty pipe at the shutter box is not sealed (should it be but according to Carpenter), or the empty pipe in the wall draws air through unbonded joints in aerated concrete masonry (ie the empty tube was not clean, and had been plastered into the wall).
to solve the issue, were now Wall inserts with "overcoats" marked, in the hope that they are therefore dense. Whether it succeeds will then show the third thermography.

Difference Between A Fade And A Tape Up

time again sacrificed a Saturday ...

And once again sacrificed a Saturday for rework of defects. Since we moved a year ago are gone for a total of three weeks vacation and five Saturdays it.

Today, finally, the infinite history of the motion to be solved, sealed on all shutter button on the upper floor and the ceiling to be opened from the roof of the ground.

The motion now seems to function as nearly as one would imagine. There is only almost a year required waiting period, a number of complaints, and even more debate about four different models ...
Today begins the practice test phase.

Commercial With Velveeta And Rotel

visit by the expert

Last week came at last, after long discussions, a witness who should control the improvements from the early summer by a thermography. At the same time, the correct installation of the new hatch to be detected.
The sobering result here again very fast in a collection. The details follow.

- The not sufficiently insulated ring beam which we had the first horse to thank for the bedroom, has still a thermal bridge and is therefore poorly insulated. Rework required.

- In the area of the suspended ceiling in the bathroom and hallway were located at least two new leaks. For this purpose, must now be examined by the loft from the ceiling. Rework required.

- For all the switches for the electric shutter blows the air, that is poorly sealed / insulated. Rework required.

- All shutter boxes have heat bridges, because the soils were fitted to short and left and right are a few millimeters of air is (not tight). Rework required.

- The hatch is now well-insulated and sealed better. So here is (for now) announced clear. is

about all of this must now be spoken again with ID construction. Since not all agreements are met and hooked it in the communication a bit, we could count on the support of a lawyer.

Auch der Bewegungsmelder im oberen Flur wurde endlich ausgetauscht. Jetzt kommt ein anderes Modell zum Einsatz, welches aber noch schlechter funktioniert. Der neue Melder besitzt keinen IR-Sensor mehr und reagiert somit nicht mehr auf Wärme. Allerdings ist die Erfassung jetzt so schlecht, dass das Licht erst angeht wenn man es nicht mehr braucht, oder der Melder das Licht drei Mal an- und ausschaltet bis man den Flur durchquert hat.

Mittlerweile wurde nun auch die Dachluke inkl. Treppe ausgebaut und ersetzt. Als der Rahmen ausgebaut war, konnte man das ganze Ausmaß des Schimmels hinter der Abdeckung erkennen. Ohne Worte:


The cause was an inadequate and construction foam insulation with an error in the connection of the vapor barrier. Here, there has hardly been a permanent passage, which has then condensed and ultimately led to mold.

time again Mould:



This time on the stairs to the loft. It was a new complaint. Then came by the manufacturer of the roof hatch and had a look at the matter. His first suspicion: Wärmebrücke stirnseitig da zu wenig Bauschaum verwendet wurde und seitlich eine nicht sauber angebrachte Abdichtung zur Dampfbremse (mal wieder). Wie Recht er damit hatte, sollte sich später beim Ausbau der Treppe zeigen.

Weitere kleine Mängel die zwar nicht wirklich schlimm sind, aber einfach nervend weil Zeit (Urlaub) dabei drauf geht:
- WCs knarzen (mehrfach reklamiert, Ursache: Schallisolierung zu klein)
- Wasserhahn der Badewanne liefert kaum Wasser (Ursache: wurde "verstopft" eingebaut)

Fortsetzung follows (hopefully not)

Another shortcoming of the motion within the upper floor is dar. This is used as the upper floor is no natural light.
This motion since the first day of a big nuisance. The light goes on again, although no one in the room. Some remedies are there only if you turn down the sensitivity far. Although this reduced the "faulty operation" something that he recognizes people but also no longer safe and there is a risk of tripping on the stairs.

Where did that failure comes, will not long been studied seriously. A suspicion on our part there are: The motion detector also detects temperature differences and jumps strangely always immediately if someone opens the front door down. Say it is formed somewhere a passage of time sufficient to allow the start detectors.

Minor Tenting Hemidiaphragm



Shortly after we moved in (the painter had left the house for only two weeks!) The mold is in the upper corners of the outer wall in the bedroom. The complaint requires only a partial solution. Although in the false ceiling nachgedämmt the ring beam on the shutter boxes (in this cold penetrates from the outside and forms then a thermal bridge at said inner corners). Further research into the causes but will not run.
Before the painter is called automatically for a second time to the wall to make new, we discover more mildew stains. We decide to commission an expert who advised us to a thermography. The result of thermography is sobering.
The shutter boxes are in many places not adequately insulated, it's the wind blows from the counters of the shutter and the parent-bath, the film is the vapor barrier above the suspended ceiling is not properly connected to the wall mounted. This could be the damage with the mere passage Hand feel on the ceiling lamps.
measures: The ceiling was partially re-opened and the Wall Final (hopefully) properly made. Similarly, the roller shutters were opened again and sealed the cable guides.
then were allowed to bath and bedrooms will be "restored" and start fresh.

A final review of the measures of their success is still pending.

The transfer was then carried out punctually at the agreed time frame. Until then, we were actually quite pleased and would have a very positive Conclusion drawn. In the meantime, but after delivery almost a year, and it occurred in the meantime, some defects, some of which have still not been resolved.
