Construction began on May 11th (Thursday) for performance improvement renovations (long-term high-quality housing renovation promotion project) ``Cold House III'' (Hassam Noie III). The first application for confirmation was made in 1981 (New Earthquake Resistance), and the second application was made in 1989 for the purpose of adding a second floor from a one-story building. A 42-year-old wooden mortar two-story building will be completely renovated to improve its performance. Today is the first site meeting after Hiei Construction and the owner moved out. My job is to have the carpenter partially dismantle the floor and walls and check the actual situation. The reason is simple: confirmation drawings from this era are often unreliable, and non-destructive and visual inspection is the limit of investigation while the homeowner is present. The results of the inspection were that the exterior mortar was 20mm thick instead of the 30-35mm thickness that was common at the time, the underlying loose boards were 12mm thick instead of 18mm, and the interior board was 9mm thick, so the horizontal rim was constructed at @455, and the first floor joists are 45 x 105 (mm), so the pitch is @1820. We will take into account what we learned today and make corrections to the implementation drawings.
木造モルタル2階建て(元々は平屋)築42年をマルっと性能向上改修します。
The 42-year-old two-story wooden mortar building (originally a one-story building) has been completely renovated to improve its performance.
Looking up at the flat roof from inside. While roofs in Honshu slope toward the outside of the building, flat roofs in Hokkaido have the opposite slope. Surprisingly, the construction is similar, with @455 having □45 rafters compared to the main building @900, followed by 12mm roofing boards, roofing, and colored iron plates, in that order. What you'll see is the black condensation marks left by moisture escaping from inside the room and coming into contact with the roof boards, which have been cooled by the snow on the roof.
Evidence shows that the bathtub was an FE type (a type that uses indoor air for combustion) when it was first built. To prevent incomplete combustion of the bath kettle, we had to draw in outside air at below zero temperatures. It is easy to see why it evolved to the currently common FF type (in which outside air is introduced directly into the combustion section for combustion).
The glass wool on the indoor side is relatively clean. On the other hand, the outdoor side is black. The reason is simple...the vinyl cloth on the interior actually acts as a moisture-proof sheet and prevents moisture from entering the walls. Studs are 30 x 105 (mm) @455, braces are 45 x 90 (mm). The black waterproof paper (asphalt feld 17kg/m3) is visible through the gap between the 12mm loose boards on the mortar base.
This is the outdoor side of the glass wool, which was so clean indoors with no humidity. From the indoor side: glass wool, loose board 12mm, waterproof paper 17kg/m3, lath mortar 20mm
This is the middle partition. At that time, the mainstream interior board was a thin 9mm, so the horizontal rim 18 x 45 (mm) @ 455 was standard for reinforcement. What is surprising is that the markings on the pillars and studs were done on-site. Each one is dug out with a saw and chisel. Nowadays, this job is all pre-cut router processing. A young carpenter who only builds new buildings can't do it (lol)
Open the tatami floor and check the structure of the floor. Under the tatami mats, there was a control panel (lauan plywood) rather than a wooden board.
100mm glass wool made 40 years ago (the joist height is 105mm) which is dangerous to touch with bare hands. Trical net between the joists to prevent falls.
Opening the tatami floor. Even if the glass wool is 100mm thick, exposing raw glass wool directly to the cold air under the floor will not work very well. If the floor is covered with a breathable tarpaulin sheet instead of Trical Net, the floor insulation will be effective. I can only say this now...
Under the floor without a moisture-proof sheet. There is also a slight musty smell. The forked tube visible under the trical net is a kerosene oil line (copper pipe). Moisture-proofing and insulating the subfloor surface will double the capacity...
