Qin Shiou thought at first who was coming, but there was no warning on the sea, and there were no visitors on land, and later he saw the tiger and leopard dressed up and calling at their work clothes, and he realized that the little guy also had to change into a suit.

He explained a few words and said that this was for work, and the tiger and leopard bit him on one of his trouser legs, and he had to change into that set of body armor anyway.

Qin Shiou was angry, body armor is weighty, and he doesn't breathe much, I don't understand why the two little guys like to wear it so much, he is not a stinky and beautiful person, who did those two little guys learn from to be so stinky and beautiful?

Helpless, he had no choice but to take out the dog's body armor and change it on.

After changing in, the two little guys became happy, and then followed Qin Shiou slowly, as if showing off their clothes of similar color.

George and Vivian were so amused that they took out their phones and took a picture with the tiger and leopard, and Lalawang was also very cooperative, and they were full of affection for the camera.

Qin Shiou beckoned, signaling that it was time for everyone to start work.

George instructed the boys to use warm water mixed with detergent and start wiping the tiles on both sides of the exterior wall from the doorway.

Wind and rain, the original milky white tiles have turned a dull dull yellow or green because they are covered with moss, and the moss can be wiped off, but not the changing color.

The villa is full of the vicissitudes of the times, George sighed: "This house is at least half a century old, and my father's cottage in the countryside is built in this style, and time flies so fast." ”

The whole house is made of wood, and the wood in some places has rotted, Qin Shiou needs to replace it, or use a sawdust gun to fill it in, and finally seal it with glue and brush it with a layer of paint. It's complicated.

For this kind of old house, it costs a lot of money to repair, and the key is that it is a waste of time, and for the rich, it is better to build a new one.

Qin Shiou is used to living here, and he feels that there is no need to change houses. And this villa needs to be repaired only in the corners. On the whole, it is still very good, for example, the solid wood stairs in the house are particularly strong, and it has been used for decades, and there is no creaking sound when stepping on it, and it is as stable as a rock.

Houses in Canada, especially country houses, are mainly made of wood, unlike the use of concrete and bricks in China, where there is a lot of wood, and the cost of building a house using wood is also low.

For example, in Farewell Town. The trees on the island belong to the government, but if anyone wants to build a house, they can apply for it and buy a piece of timber on the land at a very low price.

In this way, even if a new house is built, because it is still made of wood, it still needs to be maintained, and the maintenance cost is not low, and you have to spend about 2% of the money every year to repair it.

The work that teenagers have to do is only the simplest and non-dangerous kind. Wipe the floor, wipe the doors and windows, weeding, etc., the main work still depends on Qin Shiou and the fishermen.

Shaq introduced to Qin Shiou: "The most important thing in repairing a house is the roof. Farewell Island is rainy and snowy, and there are often strong winds that make landfalls, so the damage to the roof is the greatest. Later, we will go up to see the aging of the roof, there have been snowstorms in the past two years, and it is estimated that there has been damage. ”

Ladders were set up, and several people fastened seat belts to their bodies. Then went up to the roof of the villa.

In the first year, several warehouses in Daqin Fishing Ground collapsed due to wind and snow, and they were repaired with the help of Shaq and sea monsters. And it has done professional anti-corrosion, and the resistance to rain and snow is stronger.

When I went up to the roof, I saw that the roof of the villa was made of layers of wooden planks, some of which had been broken several layers, and some of which looked intact, but when I reached out and touched them, they would become broken pieces, and they had aged out to the point of not being able to look good.

This kind of villa roof can not have problems, otherwise it is easy to cause more damage to the house, such as once the rain leaks, it will obviously corrode the walls, because the villa walls are also wood, so it is not as simple as mold, and even rotten.

And if the roof insulation is not good, then the air conditioner in the house will be turned on in winter, and the temperature will not rise, even if the air conditioner is turned on 24 hours a day, it is useless.

In Canada, the roof of a wooden house needs to be repaired about every 5 years, this repair is a major repair, many things have to be replaced, Canada is sparsely populated, except for the city center, most people live in small villas, and it basically costs four or five thousand dollars to change it, and the average person's monthly salary is gone.

In addition, the roof has to be replaced every 25 years, which is more expensive, and there are not tens of thousands of dollars that cannot be paid.

Qin Shiou discussed Sha Ke and others: "Do you want to have a major overhaul and replace them with modern glazed tiles?" ”

Shaq shook his head and said, "Don't change it, BOSS, the glazed tiles are beautiful, but they are too heavy, and they will cause a lot of burden on the walls of the house." Moreover, the island is windy and snowy, and the pressure of glazed tiles will make the burden on the house greater, so it is good to use wooden planks. ”

Old Man Qin was a particular person, and the roof wood was hemlock at that time.

Iron Mountain is the most elegant and versatile tree species in the North American market, slightly lower in strength than ponderosa pine, more suitable for preservative treatment, after pressure preservative treatment is both beautiful and strong, comparable to the natural and durable North American red cedar.

Hemlock wood is great for roofing because it has great stability, a low coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction, and is resistant to tanning. It is common knowledge to know that almost all wood will turn black after long-term sun exposure, but hemlock can still retain its color when it was newly sawn after being exposed to the sun all year round, making it very beautiful to make a roof.

These hemlock wood has been treated with a transparent layer of paint, which is a mixture of anticorrosive paint and reinforcing paint, which can not only enhance the antiseptic properties of the wood, but also increase its strength.

This is one of the advantages of hemlocks, which have excellent adhesion properties and can accept a wide range of surface coatings.

There are several layers on the roof, and after Qin Shiou repaired it with hemlock wood, he added another layer of charred wood.

Nowadays, even if the roofs of country houses are made of wooden planks, they are generally not made of hemlock, but carbonized wood.

Carbonized wood is made by homogeneous carbonization of wood at high temperature, without the use of chemical agents, and its ability comes from itself, so it has a more stable anti-corrosion and resistance to external forces.

In addition, the surface of the carbonized wood has a dark brown color, which seems to absorb sunlight, which is beautiful.

Carbonized wood has low moisture content, is not easy to absorb water, stable material, no deformation, good thermal insulation performance, simple construction, convenient painting, no special smell, and anti-rot, anti-moth, anti-deformation and cracking, it is simply an excellent choice for external wood.

In addition, it also has the advantage of light weight, because it is carbonized, it is completely degreased and does not spill grease, the mass is smaller, and the pressure on the walls and wooden beams of the house is also less. (To be continued.) )
