Yay,
it is generally known that bonded fill is made with additives to make it solid.
There is a price difference compared to loose fill.
Wallpaper paste costs almost nothing.
Basically, it’s quite easy to make. What do you think?

Good luck, Phil333

And your paste mixture will hold better that way?
For dry construction, you should use thick OSB panels underneath; to level it out, you can also add sand below.

For the requirement: €3500 for thick OSB boards and hauling about 7 tons of wet sand upstairs?

Sand is always delivered wet! The moisture just sits in the pile, even in midsummer for 7 weeks at 40°C (104°F). The moisture doesn’t evaporate on its own—I’ve worked with more than 30 roll-off containers, each 16 tons, for concrete in my life.

The house dates back to 1880, the ceilings are already sagging, and the painted plaster/reed matting on the ground floor will definitely suffer. Any structural engineer would shake their head at this.
Wet sand + OSB on top = a recipe for disaster.
I’m selling the disaster pieces to cover the additional costs incurred.
Exactly, that’s what I’m doing

Hey, stop, no, that was just a joke.

Thank you for your time and patience regarding my award-worthy idea proposal, and I say goodbye here warmly. Yours, Phil333

Just use sugar water; it’s supposed to stick and bind well.
Try mixing some paste and let it sit in the bucket for a while—it actually gets quite good over time.
