Ye Fu planned to build red bricks on the outside of the wooden house and then apply cement to prevent rain and snow from flowing into the house. Moreover, the countertop of the house should be higher than the ground outside, and the countertop should be higher to prevent moisture.
After sawing the wood, Ye Fu began to dig the foundation. She planned an area of 25 square meters. The internal structure of the wooden house included a small bedroom, a small kitchen, and a simple bathroom.
It took a full day and a half to dig the foundation frame. Gravel was laid flat under the dug foundation, and fir trees were erected in each corner pit to serve as pillars. A concave pit has been cut on the pillar, and every two pillars
In the middle, stack the fir trees horizontally, and use the principle of concave and interlocking to fit the horizontal wood and the vertical wood together, and so on.
For the fir trees placed horizontally, Ye Fu chose wood that was not very thick, otherwise she would not be able to lift it up alone. After calculating the number of horizontal logs needed and sawing them according to different sizes, it would be much more convenient during construction.
When raising beams on mud houses in rural areas, triangular fixing brackets are used. Ye Fu studied the construction book, but she was not strong enough to make a large beam by herself, so she could only use some fist-sized beams instead, and then fix them one by one.
superior.
It took Ye Fu five days to build this large frame. She only had one requirement for the house, and that was that it should be practical. It didn't matter whether it was beautiful or ugly. The main thing was that it should be solid and indestructible.
On the sixth day, Ye Fu took out a plastic waterproof tarpaulin, removed it from the top of the beam, and fixed the tarpaulin with nails and small wooden boards. The tarpaulin was very thick and could block light and prevent rain.
But just covering it with oilcloth was not enough. On the roof, Ye Fu laid wooden boards tightly outside the oilcloth, and then spread a layer of oilcloth on top.
With several layers of insurance, not to mention rainwater can't get in, and snow falling on it will be difficult to accumulate depending on the smoothness and slope.
For the location of the kitchen, Ye Fu specially built an exhaust pipe and chimney. There was no chimney pipe, so it could only be built with red bricks.
At the part where the chimney pipe comes out of the roof, Ye Fu plans to make an outward turn so that even if it rains or snows, it will not fall in from the chimney pipe opening.
The frame was roughly finished, and Ye Fu planned to start working on the floor inside the house.
Use a shovel to smooth the ground, sprinkle with gravel, then spread a layer of soil, and continue to beat with a shovel. When the ground is completely flat, then lay thick wooden boards on top.
Ye Fu discovered that people's potential is truly endless. As long as you push yourself, you can achieve anything.
The wooden house is already in shape. It also has a fireplace, fire pit, kitchen sink, drain outlet, stove, and bathroom drain outlet. Take your time. Although the weather is getting colder, there is no rush.
.
The fir trees that Ye Fu had cut before were far from being used up. She built a five-story staircase outside the wooden house, sawed off the remaining fir trees, and surrounded the wooden house. There was still a wooden gate for the fence to be built after the house was completed.
do it.
On the seventh day, Ye Fu started making a fireplace. To be honest, she had never seen this thing in real life and could only fumble around looking at the pictures in the book.
The fireplace also needed a chimney pipe. After two days of tinkering with it, Ye Fu finally made a fireplace that looked simple but was very difficult to make. It looked a bit ugly, and the red bricks and cement hadn't dried yet. Ye Fu finally made a fireplace that looked simple but was very difficult to make.
I can't help it anymore, just make do with it.
Doumiao has been a little depressed in recent days, because Ye Fu no longer has time to play with it. She starts working when she gets up in the morning, and goes to bed after washing herself in the evening. This repeats, and it wanders around in front of her from time to time, and is even touched by Ye Fu.
Kicked out in disgust.
Ye Fu handed the roasted chicken legs to it, and Doumiao pretended not to notice it, twisted its buttocks, and turned its back to Ye Fu.
"You don't want to eat chicken legs? I roasted them specially for you."
Doumiao shook her tail and still ignored Ye Fu.
"If you don't eat, I will be defeated. If you ignore me, I will be defeated. From now on, we will have a cold war. If you ignore me, I will ignore you."
Ye Fu deliberately snorted at its back and ate the chicken drumstick in his hand. Doumiao moved its ears, then moved its tail, and finally turned around tentatively. Seeing Ye Fu eating the drumstick, it was anxious.
You have to scream, rush over and grab it.
Ye Fucai was not used to it. He ate and drank enough and continued working, leaving it where it was and continued to be unhappy.
When she was bored, Ye Fu would also take out her MP3 player and listen to music. It was strange that she had not encountered any animals after living in the mountains for so many days.
Have all the animals gone to hibernate?
November, well, it has indeed entered winter.
In the past few days when the cabin was about to be finished, the temperature had dropped to 5 or 6 degrees Celsius, and the fog in the mountains was still so thick that it was almost impossible to see anything beyond ten meters.
The stove in the kitchen has been set up and can boil water for cooking. Ye Fuping also lit the fire to dry the wooden house.
The outside of the wooden house had not yet been laid with red bricks and cemented. Ye Fu was worried that it would rain before it snowed, so he speeded up the process of laying the reinforced red bricks on the outer wall.
After working for several days and touching water for several days, Ye Fu's hands began to become red and swollen. He was itchy when he lay in bed at night, and the medicine didn't work. Ye Fu could only give himself two injections.
It took several days to lay the red bricks and apply cement. The weather was too gloomy and it was not easy for the cement to dry in the sun. Ye Fu could only set up a few fires in the small courtyard and use external forces to quickly dry the cement.
On November 11th, a few scattered snowflakes fell from the sky. The inside and outside of the wooden house were finished, but it was still a little damp inside and could not be lived in directly. Ye Fu was in the house, in the fireplace, and on the stove.
There is a fire inside, and the wooden house is very warm. With the doors and windows closed, it is very warm inside.
In order to celebrate the completion of the wooden house, Ye Fu planned to have something good for dinner.
Stewed mutton with wolfberry, watercress fish, cabbage and tofu soup, braised eggplant, braised pig trotters...
After working for three hours, dinner was finally ready. This was the best meal Ye Fu had eaten since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
What is worth celebrating is that Ye Fu and Dou Miao have reconciled and are still good friends after the Cold War, and even sleep with their heads next to each other at night.
Ye Fu sat in the RV, looking at the small yard not far away and the small wooden house in the yard, feeling extremely satisfied.
Snowflakes began to dance and fall, the lights inside the car were dim, Doumiao was already watching cartoons on the tablet, and Ye Fu drank soup while looking at the snowy scene outside the window.
What should we do tomorrow?
Get a fence gate and a pond. The water in the space should be reserved for later use. The water in the pond is very clean and clear, much cleaner than the drinking water in the city.
What should we do the day after tomorrow?
By the way, the bison in space needs to be taken out and processed, bled, skinned, and fleshed. You can make some beef jerky or soy sauce beef.
