**********

This house is against the large island of Manhattan, and it is close to the Hudson River, New York is a coastal city, and the annual precipitation is not small, so moisture protection is really a very important issue.

And as Wayne said, the house was previously designed according to a standard industrial plant, not a residential standard, so there was not much consideration for moisture protection at all.

At that time, the first floor of this factory was a production workshop, and the finished products produced were directly placed on the second floor, so there was no need to worry about the problem of underground moisture, but now that he bought this house and prepared to live in it, he couldn't help but consider this problem.

Because of this step, if you don't do it, there will be problems such as mildew, odor, and insect pests in the future, and you must know that dampness is very easy to breed bacteria and various insect pests.

In particular, termites and bed bugs in the United States are not ordinary scary, after several generations of evolution, termites in the United States have become the number one natural enemy that all American homeowners have to face.

Even if his house is made of steel and concrete bricks and wood, he still has to worry about those super termites.

There are also bed bugs, you must know that Manhattan was the first port in the United States to open, and it welcomed immigrants from all over the world, as well as pests and diseases from all over the world.

The bed bugs here are notoriously powerful, and the bed bugs we know in China are generally not attacking people, but the bed bugs here. But it's known for biting people hard enough.

And if one accidentally gets bitten. caused by lumps. Pus, many drugs can't be cured, and in the end you can only choose hormone therapy, once you use this method, then you just wait to get fat, it won't be long before the body will want to swell up like a balloon.

I bought a house, but I haven't enjoyed it yet. suffered such a crime, Jin Muchen didn't want to be like that.

So this moisture-proof measure must be done, and Wiane's method is very simple, that is, dig up the basement, and then water the foundation with new quick-drying cement, and then brush several layers of thick moisture-proof material, so that the moisture-proof problem can be solved, and the new foundation can also make the house stronger.

Jin Muchen agreed almost without hesitation, but Vane said in the end. A little cringe.

"But in this way, it will increase the cost of renovating the house quite a bit."

Eventually, he finally said what he was worried about. Unexpectedly, Jin Muchen shook his finger.

"Money is not my concern, can you tell me a price?"

"Hmm...... Mr. Jin, the cost of this part of the recast foundation alone may cost about 50,000 to 100,000 yuan......"

"What? So expensive? ”

Jin Muchen was stunned for a moment, you must know that in other areas, building a new house of 100 square meters can be done for only 200,000 yuan, but it will cost 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars to make a moisture-proof foundation?

He hadn't renovated the house before, and he really didn't know that the price would be so different.

"Uh...... Mr. Jin, in terms of materials, you can rest assured, I choose the best materials, this aspect is not very expensive, 20,000 US dollars will be the top, but the key is that you have to rent the cost of machinery, such as concrete mixers, etc., the cost of these construction machinery, relatively expensive, on the other hand, is labor, we first have to put away all the ground in your basement, but also dig deep, and then from the new pile, pouring concrete, your house single-story plane area is very large, if you want to finish it early, This requires a lot of manpower, as well as man-hours, and you know the price of labor now......"

Vane said cautiously, he also knew that no matter which owner of the house was, when he heard such an offer, he would probably have to think about it.

Jin Muchen nodded, it is true that the labor in the United States is very expensive, especially for this kind of construction work, if you find cheap labor to do it, then the quality of the project cannot be guaranteed, if you find a regular decoration company to do it, then the quotation is almost like this.

"Okay, you go ahead."

But soon he won't be entangled in these, after all, more than 10 million houses have been bought, is there still a shortage of hundreds of thousands of decoration costs?

"And the next thing is to add floors, we will follow your original plan, in the whole building, in addition to two floors, this part of us plan to use the reinforcement of the steel frame without damaging the original main structure of the homeowner, in addition to two floors, and then according to your instructions, to give you a new division of the design functional area, you see, this is a few plans we prepared before."

Wayne said and pushed the tablet in his hand in front of Jin Muchen.

Jin Muchen took a look, there are a lot of renderings of interior design and decoration, and the design of the model room when buying a house in China looks neat and beautiful, but it is divided into several styles.

The front 150 square meters of the first floor is divided into a shop area, where several counters are displayed, which is where he places and displays antiques.

The back is divided into an office area, a pantry with a kitchen, a rest area next to it, a toilet and so on.

The front half of the upstairs is a high-end antique display area, it can be seen that the layout has been carefully designed, in the use of space, very attentive, there is an open rest area at the back, which should be specially prepared for him to entertain VIP customers.

And his own office area is also arranged on this floor, which is very beautiful.

The third floor is the living area, an open kitchen, living room and dining room, which occupies an area of more than 100 square meters, which can not only entertain relatives and friends, but also hold a medium-sized pie, which is very in line with American cultural habits.

In the direction of the front sun, there are two bedrooms with the same size, which belong to the guest room, and there is a study room with a similar size.

As for the fourth floor, it is the master floor that Venn highlighted, a large open space integrating a living room, a game room, and a studio, and then in the direction of the sun, there are two rooms with similar sizes, but the one with the best lighting is set as the master room.

On the roof of the fourth floor, Wayne also made a new plan, planning to add half a floor of the house here, in fact, this is the most important master bedroom in the whole building.

The renovated house does not face the street, but the front will be an open glass panel house, so that the room will never lack sunlight.

The performance of the whole room is very diverse, it can be used as a study or a bedroom, all arranged by the owner, and the space in front of it is made into a hanging garden.

All with wooden floors, reclining chairs, if Jin Muchen wants, he can even reserve a pool spot on it, on this open platform, you can hold a glass of red wine at night, stand here, enjoy the beautiful night view of Manhattan in the distance, and during the day, you can overlook the Linkin Park in front of you, and the Hudson River, this is definitely a good place to take a quiet getaway.

After only a few glances, Jin Muchen was very satisfied with this set of design schemes, there are several sets of house design styles, what is the American metropolitan style, that is, the use of all-mahogany, outsourcing, and other stricter style design.

Or pastoral, that is, to paste all kinds of colorful wallpaper on the wall, these styles Jin Muchen doesn't like at all, his favorite is the simple modern style of white wall and floor tiles.

He also explained to Vane a few things that he was not satisfied with, and Vane also promised to revise it after he went back, and this discussion ended here.

"So Mr. Jin, do you think you plan to hand over this renovation project to our company to deal with? Or are you going to find another construction team to do it? ”

Seeing that Jin Muchen was very satisfied with his design plan, Wayne was also very happy, but when it came to the final key issue, his heart was still a little empty.

After all, this is the key to finding Jin Muchen today, as a design and decoration company, of course, I hope to contract a whole dragon of projects, so that it is the most profitable.

And Jin Muchen didn't bother to find other engineering teams to do such a project, since he was looking for other engineering teams, he didn't know the roots, and he didn't know how the other party's craftsmanship was, and this Landall company still has a good reputation in terms of decoration quality.

In addition, how the construction team implements the designer's idea is also very important, if you find an outside construction team, but in case the other party and Vane do not communicate well, and finally make a four-dislike, then there is nowhere to reason.

So he just thought about it briefly, and promised Venn that the renovation and construction would be all done by their company.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kim, we will definitely give you the best discount in this regard!"

Wayne. Duffy, at this time, his heart is already happy, this is a big project, and if he does it well, he can at least earn hundreds of thousands.

"Wayne, don't be too happy, let's talk about the ugly thing in front, I don't have much time, I can't stare at you here every day, but I will find a supervision company, and I will keep an eye on you to work all the time, so cut corners or something, you must not fight this idea." And the whole construction process, absolutely in strict accordance with the design drawings we agreed, no private changes, otherwise I will not accept the house at that time. ”

Jin Muchen looked at Wayne and said very sternly, these words must be clarified with him face to face.

Many Chinese people think that foreigners are really honest and will not cut corners when building a house, but if you really believe their propaganda, then you are very wrong, and you will be hacked very badly!

These foreigners have the same eyes and one nose, if they have the opportunity to cut corners, they will definitely do a lot of work, if they can use secondary materials, they will use secondary materials, and if they can do a little less, they will definitely not give you an extra finger, so in this transformation process, Jin Muchen feels that he must find a project supervisor and follow the whole process, and he can't let them do tricks.
