Chapter 242 Procurement and Site Selection
I went to the hardware store in town and bought a box of nails and thousands of meters of wire.
The shopkeeper helped him move to the door and asked, "What about Mr. Han?
"No, my dad went to customize the windows and bars. ”
"Make a treehouse, right? Then the nail you bought is short, I'll help you change to another one.
The roof should also be done, it is best to buy some waterproof and insulating fabrics, and bring some corner yards to fix the wooden boards.
Do you have anti-corrosion paint, chisels, and long screws?"
I couldn't see that the shopkeeper was still an expert, Han Xuan wrinkled his nose, "Please help me get it ready." ”
"Okay, the asphalt membrane has the best waterproof and thermal insulation effect, and the breathable membrane must also be used, by the way, how big is your tree house?"
"It's six or seven meters long and wide, my dad said that one pine tree is not enough, and he bought three more timber trees and planned to build two rooms. ”
"That's a lot of stuff, I'll tell you first, and then follow me to the warehouse to get it, and first, you need to have a car. ”
"There are cars, medium trucks.
Over there at the lumber processing plant, wait for it to come. ”
"Angle-angled rulers, drills, drill bits, and hand planers are also needed, and what color do you like for paint?"
"Zonghong. ”
"This?"
"No, the one on the left. ”
"Okay, there must be circular saws and chisels, otherwise a lot of things can't be made, and there are no beasts there, I mean the ferocious kind......"
The shopkeeper bowed his head and kept writing down in his notebook.
Han Xuan thought about it, carp, raccoons, and macaws should not be counted, and he must have shook his head.
"Then you won't need a fence.
Braziers and barbecue grills are also needed, and the wooden house is so big, there are definitely not enough nails, at least 100 catties. I'll move you a few boxes later.
The handrails of the stairs are either mahogany floors, matching small furniture, and there are all kinds in the warehouse, and they are in stock if you want to buy.
Living in a tree house with a comfortable waterbed will definitely be comfortable in summer, and when it is used as a trampoline, I will bring you one.
There are also mosquito nets to prevent insects. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well at night, ha!and most importantly, the hammock ......."
The bill turned a few pages and didn't see the bottom.
Han Xuan sat at the door in a daze and waited for his father, remembering what he asked him to buy at that time?
Nails and wires, right?
Raised his eyebrows and saw the last string of numbers: 9740.3 US dollars, looked back at the shopkeeper, in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, and admired: "Talent......"
What was most lacking at the end of the twentieth century?
Talent.
can fool people to death, and they are great at sales. Especially a slut who can even pit a child, it's even more rare to be embarrassed like this.
Along the way, it seems that everything is needed, but some are simply superfluous, such as hammers.
What ranch can live without this?
The shopkeeper asked the guy to go to the warehouse to distribute the goods, and when he saw the boy looking at him, he smiled kindly. "It's hot, there's cold drinks in the fridge. I'll get it for you. ”
"No, sir, what's your name?"
"Just call me Green, I'll be delivering things soon, treehouse light bulbs or not? and flashlights, power outages are the most unsafe in the woods. ”
"Those have it at home. Mr. Green.
How much money do you make a year when you open a shop here?"
"What's the matter? One or two thousand dollars, it's enough to live, there are few people in the town, and business is better only when the house is built. ”
?“ If you were asked to go to work in California, would you do it with an annual salary of 40,000 yuan?"
"There is no such good thing. I used to drive a taxi in Great Rapids, and my salary was higher than it is now, but the expenses were also high, so I might as well come back. ”
"Maybe I'm looking for the wrong job. ”
"Then what do you think I should do?"
"Salesman, Mr. Green. Han Xuan stood up, went to the table and took a pen and wrote a number and handed it to him, "Go to Los Angeles, call this number, with your mouth, I guarantee an annual salary of 40,000 yuan, and there will be a commission"
The boy's dad drove and stopped in front of the hardware store.
Seeing his son standing in front of this clutter hill, he opened his mouth sluggishly, "You bought it?"
"Well, I think it's all treehouses anyway, so it's better to do a good job. ”
Han Xuan turned his head and continued, "Mr. Green, please think about it. ”
Arrived home at 3 p.m.
Unload your things next to the birch grove and go home and call Jensen to ask him to come over.
Harris had a cold last night, nestled on the couch and watched TV, didn't have the strength to go out to play, wiped his nose with envy, and picked up a glass of water to watch Bugs Bunny.
Put on long pants and hiking boots, spray some insect repellent on your body, and when Jensen arrived, Han's father called Anderson and walked into the jungle together.
Nature spends every day in stride.
The trail that was originally carved out, because few people walked, returned to its original appearance after the summer, and the weeds were as high as Han Xuan's knees.
The birch trees swayed, and the lake rippled.
The air smells of cool, moist grass.
Gradually, there is no trace of man-made anymore, and the trees are chaotic and disorganized, this is what the forest really looks like, without any constraints.
The leaves of the birch tree began to turn yellow, and there was a small insect lying on its stomach, and if it had not moved slightly, there would have been no difference between the bug and the black spots on the trunk.
Since Thoreau wrote Walden, the love of solitude in the forest has risen rapidly across the United States, with vacation cabins, ski cabins, and fishing cabins dotted into the forest.
Lake Rota is not, it has never been developed, and it is better preserved than Flathead Park.
After walking five or six hundred meters, you need to cut down the bushes with a knife before you can move on.
Father Han gasped, looked ahead, and scolded with a smile: "Looking at those spruce trees at home, they are only a little bit far, how long have they been walking, I think these birch trees are quite thick, it is better to build them here." ”
Moving forward in this kind of environment requires several times more physical strength than flat ground, and coupled with the fact that he usually does not exercise regularly, Jensen's chest is like a bellows.
After a long time: "They are next to each other, and there is no room for a tree house.
In winter, the leaves will fall light, not to mention that it is not good-looking, and it is easy to collapse when it snows."
Han Xuan walked last, the grass was trampled flat by the people in front, no different from walking on flat ground, not tired, and proposed: "Let's rest here for a while, look over there, is it a white-tailed deer?"
"They sometimes come out and stay in the woods in the summer, there are no natural predators, and the number has increased recently, I'm afraid there are hundreds.
It's not hunting season yet, come and hunt some bucks in winter, and if this continues, their population can double in a year, and then it will be troublesome. ”
John threw the shovel on the ground and sat down on it.
"Those tools are not easy to get in, you have to open a road first, and the newly recruited people don't have much to do, and hundreds of people can get it in half a day.
Sprinkle some gravel, and the grass will not grow in the future, and there will be no stones or sand, and it will be muddy on rainy days, so it is not easy to walk. ”
"Well, I'll go back and talk to the building materials dealer. Jensen leaned against the tree and shivered when he noticed something getting into his clothes.
Seeing the worm with only horns that fell, he bent down and grabbed it and handed it to Han Xuan, and said in his mouth: "In the past, my son used it to make specimens in his biology class, and now it is still at home." ”
Han Xuan carefully grasped it and held it in his hand, and the appearance of the worm was similar to the unicorn fairy he had seen before.
The color of the back shell is blue, lying quietly in the palm of the hand, the body is more than five centimeters long, and there are some fluff on the horns, which is very fierce and burly.
Raising his head, "Thanks, I'll take good care of it." ”
"Let's go, the bushes have been cut down, and it will be easier to get back. ”
Father Han took a sip of water, closed the lid and put it in his waist bag.
The group continued to set off with the sound of grass and trees breaking. (To be continued.) )
