ᐅ Electrical Installation for a New Single-Family Home – Assessment and Suggestions

Created on: 19 Jun 2021 23:28

Hello dear forum members,

The electrician has been working on the electrical installation in our shell construction for three weeks now, progressing step by step. Beforehand, I discussed some of my requirements with him. Now that he is almost finished, I have some doubts about whether everything has been done correctly. Without criticizing anything upfront, I would like to ask you to take a look.

This is mainly about the method of installation, not about why there are so few outlets in certain places—that can be sorted separately.

Best regards,
Steffen

So you protect the plaster with gypsum plaster (= Rotband) against the plasterer's gypsum plaster? Makes sense 😀

Well, you should actually know that the interior plaster is not the same as Rotband.

Both are gypsum-based plaster. What exactly is the difference? What is the gypsum interior plaster made of that distinguishes it from Rotband interior plaster?

By interior plaster, I mean lime-cement plaster!
Cement is corrosive.

OK – but you wrote gypsum plaster 😉

Yes, at the beginning. Sorry, my mistake. I confused it in the post due to all the plaster.

Only one thing comes to mind: Gypsum is available at the gypsum factory; if there is no gypsum there, then there is no gypsum.
