Wang Bo has been ignoring what Atulu said, that is, painting the new house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most houses in New Zealand have windsurf panels on the facades, known locally as windbreaks, which are simple and inexpensive building materials.

This material is suitable for the weather in most parts of New Zealand, and has the advantage that it is very easy to maintain, as long as it is not overly corroded or broken by external impact, it can be maintained for a long time.

It is said that it is maintenance-free for a long time, but it does not mean "no maintenance", every five to ten years, the windsurf exterior wall still needs to be repaired, and every three to five years, it needs to be painted with a new layer of exterior wall paint, so as to extend its life.

However, just like the first charge of the lithium battery of the mobile phone needs to be charged for a particularly long time, this kind of windsurf exterior wall must be painted for the first time for preliminary protection within one or two years after use.

The best time to paint is the first year, but unfortunately Wang Bo was in a hurry last year and forgot about it, and he had to re-paint in the autumn of this year. Otherwise, in winter, under the thermal expansion and contraction, the windsurfing board may have problems.

When he went to work the next day, Wang Bo drove around the residential area and then to the commercial area in the center of the town, and the difference between the windsurfing facades of the two areas was obvious.

The residential area has only been built for a year, but the house in the center of the town has been more than two years old, and he has not painted the protective paint again, and the façade of the residential area obviously looks newer.

In this case, it is indeed time to paint the facades.

When he got back, he found Hani and asked, "Hey, old man, do you know how to contact the workers who paint the exterior walls of the house?" How much does it cost? ”

"It's very simple, you go to the House of Life and make a post, and a lot of people will contact you," Haney said. As for the price, it's hard to say, if it's a professional, it will cost about 2,000 to 3,000 New Zealand dollars for a second building. ”

Wang Bo was taken aback and said, "So high? My God! My house is only tens of thousands, and it costs two or three thousand to paint it? Isn't it possible to paint a few more times and I can buy another house? ”

Hani shrugged, "That's the way it is, my dear chief, it's a time-consuming and slightly dangerous job, so it's expensive. And I'm talking about the country price, if you're in Auckland or Wellington, you can't find anyone under $4,000. ”

"Dangerous?"

"Of course, climbing high and the paint itself is toxic, isn't that all dangerous?" Hani said as a matter of course.

Someone next to him came to pay the tax and interjected: "Mr. Mayor, we usually do this kind of work by ourselves, especially painting the exterior walls, we do it ourselves, if everything depends on hiring, then I can't do it unless I win a big lottery like you." ”

On the way back, Wang Bo tapped the window of the police station and motioned for Aturu to go to his office.

Once inside, he asked, "Is your fellow Maori painter reliable in painting facades?" I think you've seen it too, the houses in the town are beautiful, and I don't want them to be big faces or garbage floors. ”

Aturu swore and said, "You can rest assured that we Maori know everything......

"Don't blow it to Lao Tzu, this is the right thing!"

"Okay, but it's definitely no problem to paint the exterior wall, because many of us usually work as casual workers, so we are responsible for painting this thing, and I have done it, and I have done it well, and now there are old customers who invite me to go back and help them paint the exterior wall." Aturu said proudly.

Wang Bo looked at him in astonishment: "Didn't you work as a gangster before?" ”

The Maori man scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "But I don't have much money, so I have to have a part-time job, painting, weeding, picking kiwifruit, etc., I am very good at it." ”

"Then how much does it cost you to paint a house?"

Atulu said: "Starting at 2,000 yuan, depending on the area of the exterior wall of the house, basically the lowest price is this." ”

Wang Bo sighed, Hani is right, this job is very expensive.

He now knows why some New Zealanders can't afford to buy a house, and the property tax is just that, and it's a lot of money to maintain a house.

Seeing his sad face, Aturu added: "If it is for our town, then we Maori can get a 5% discount, almost a thousand yuan per house." ”

Hearing this, Wang Bo felt a sense of excitement, it seems that his investment in the town has worked, and the Maori people obviously have a sense of belonging, otherwise they would not have made such a sacrifice.

He told Aturu to hire people, and then all the building blocks in the town had to be painted.

Do the math, this time he has to spend at least 300,000 New Zealand dollars, more than 200,000 manual costs, and at least another 100,000 yuan to buy exterior wall paint and tools.

Aturu was in charge of gathering the workers, and he needed to buy the exterior paint himself.

Anderson was an expert in this area, and when he learned that he was going to buy exterior paint, he came to provide him with references.

There is no exterior paint in Sunset Town, so he has to go to Aocheng to buy it, and on the way Anderson told him that in general, there are two types of exterior wall paint according to the type of solvent, water-based exterior paint and organic solvent-based exterior wall paint.

"There are so many things to do in Mad, which one is better?" Wang Bo was too lazy to choose.

As a military advisor in this matter, Anderson had to provide an analysis hard: "Well, the two exterior wall paints have their own advantages and disadvantages, and I can't say which one is better." ”

"For example, water-based exterior wall paint is cheaper, easy to use and apply, can be washed off with water if it gets on the body, has low toxicity, has less odor, dries quickly, and is easy to clean up if brushed in the wrong place."

Wang Bo listened to his words and nodded, "This kind of paint is good, I like it." ”

Anderson adds: "Exterior paints with organic solvents smell great, and if they get on your body, they can cause pollution. However, the paint surface of this exterior wall paint is more durable than water-based paint, wear-resistant and scrub-resistant, and more beautiful. ”

Wang Bo thought about it while driving, and then said: "The buildings in the town are based on organic solvents, and the residential areas are painted with water solvents, that's it!" ”

Anderson smiled, "I thought so too. ”

Wang Bo: "Then you didn't give me such a suggestion just now?" ”

The car whizzed by, turning off Highway 8, and then Okujo.

Since Eva moved to Sunset Town, he hasn't been back for a long time, and he drove to the intersection and deliberately pulled down the window and took two deep breaths: "Familiar smell!" ”

Anderson looked to the side and asked suspiciously, "Boss, did you live next to a public toilet before?" ”

Wang Bo followed his gaze and saw that a public toilet was standing on the side of the road with its head held high! (To be continued.) )
