Chapter 164: New House
After discussing the renovation of the old house, Liu Junhao did not delay any longer, and went straight to the street to find Zhao Guangming. The people who are engaged in construction in the town are basically his subordinates, and it is not wrong to build a house and look for him.
"Why are you thinking about building a house on a hot day?" Zhao Guangming was very surprised when he heard it. Rural houses are generally built after the autumn harvest, when the weather is not hot and people are idle.
"Isn't Eleven going to get married soon, I'm in a hurry, so I want to come to you for help." Liu Junhao smiled.
"I said why did you hand over cigarettes as soon as you kid came up, and your feelings are asking for me," Zhao Guangming said with a smoke ring, "I didn't say anything, I'll call my dad right away and ask him about the price." As you know, since the highway was repaired, the wages of construction in our town have been rising, and last year it was still ten yuan a day, and this spring it has grown to thirteen, and now it is fifteen. β
"It's okay, the price is easy to say" Liu Junhao also knew that what he said was the truth, since the opening of Daqingshan, all kinds of things in Qingshan Town have slowly begun to rise in price.
Zhao Guangming asked them to drink tea in the faΓ§ade room, and ran to the courtyard to call his father.
In less than five minutes, the kid walked in: "I told my dad about building a house, and the salary is calculated according to the contractor, and you will be charged a total of 2,000 yuan in wages." But how about contracting labor and not materials? β
"That's okay" Liu Junhao nodded, similar to what he expected, "You find people as soon as possible, and I will be ready to start construction in the next two days."
"That's fine, it's always there. By the way, do you want me to help you contact the brick puller and sand truck? Zhao Guangming asked again.
He is now taking Liu Junhao as a friend, so he can help more. The two thousand yuan salary just now, he really didn't ask for much, and his father said on the phone that he asked him to shout casually between two thousand and two thousand five, and Zhao Guangming shouted the lowest price.
"That's a good idea. Thank you. Dude, I'll send you a few catties of yellow eel. Liu Junhao originally wanted to contact it himself. Now with him. It's a lot of savings.
"Don't. Business is business. Feelings are feelings. You bring me eel. I'm embarrassed to charge you later. Zhao Guangming refused with a smile.
At last he asked about the limeland. Ask Liu Junhao if there is hydrated lime there. If you don't have a local dialect, you're in trouble. Lime is raw ash when it first comes out of the kiln. It must be thrown into water and soaked in mature lime. Generally speaking. Quicklime should be soaked in water for at least ten days and half a month. Otherwise, the viscosity is not enough. When building walls and whitewashing walls, it is easy to cause sand to fall off.
"Don't worry. I'm ready for that. "Before building a house in the countryside, the lime is prepared a month or two in advance. Otherwise, it will definitely be too late. Liu Junhao is a temporary cram. on the subject. He had just thought of it.
It's definitely too late to pull the lime bubble now. It just so happened that the village was also preparing to build a house after the autumn, and there was lime in the ground. He greeted Liu Guangju. First use the lime from the village. Make up as much as you use later.
After chatting for a while, Liu Junhao saw that things were done, so he didn't sit longer, and wanted to get up and say goodbye with Zhang Qian.
When he was about to go out, Zhao Guangming pulled Liu Junhao to the side and whispered: "I said that your kid is so bad in the village, you can't even find a village builder, so you have to go to the town to find someone?" β
Khan, it turns out that he pulled himself over to ask about this. Liu Junhao really wanted to ask the villagers for help, but after the wedding date was set for eleven, he changed his mind.
During this time, the fields were all farm work, and every family was busy in the dark, how could he be embarrassed to let his family come over to help for more than ten days.
"Yes, there is a lot of life in the field now," Zhao Guangming nodded.
"The wages are so low?" When she was far away, Zhang Qian said the question in her heart. In fact, she has been confused since Zhao Guangming said the price.
Originally, Liu Junhao said that after the renovation of this house, even the furniture would definitely be won for 10,000 yuan, but she still didn't believe it. Now it seems that it is possible.
"How much do you think it will cost, it was only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to build a new house in Qingshan Town, but when you leave Qingshan Town, this price is not good."
"The construction workers in the city are paid 50 yuan a day, which is too different. When I was in school, the male classmates were still clamoring that they couldn't find a job to work as construction workers after graduation. β
"Hehe, there is a market in a place."
After finishing their business, the two didn't stay on the street for long, and went home directly to clean up the house.
Although it is a renovation of an old house, there are many places that need to be changed. The entire roof had to be completely demolished, and the furniture and other things in the house had to be removed first.
There is a place in Liu Junhao's yard, and the things that are moved out are placed directly in the yard, and then a large tent is built with canvas on top to prevent sudden rain.
"I said Xiaohao, are you drying furniture or are you moving?" Liu Laosan was startled when he came to buy yellow eel.
"I'm going to renovate the house in the next two days, and I'm going to vacate things first." Liu Junhao hurriedly handed over the cigarette.
The cigarette was just bought from the town and was prepared for building a house.
"It's a little hot to build a house now, you kid is really good at picking the time
Worker, I'll go back to my daughter-in-law first, and clean up the work in the field early. β
"No, no, I'm looking for good people on the street......" Liu Junhao said his thoughts again.
"I'll come over and help for a long time when I go up the floor, I need someone anyway." Liu Laosan heard that he had already arranged it, so he didn't say much.
I usually didn't pay attention to it, but now that I have cleaned it up, Liu Junhao knows that there are really a lot of miscellaneous things in his house.
I didn't finish the morning, and in the afternoon, when the weather was cooler, Professor Zhao and his family also came to help.
The four of them waited until it was dark to clean up the house.
As soon as I sat down to catch my breath, the sound of a tractor sounded outside, and it seemed that it was Rasha's people who had arrived.
"I said Xiaohao, why are you thinking about building a house at this time." As soon as I went out, I saw Er Mazi jumping out of the carriage, "Just now the driver asked for directions at the entrance of the village, I wondered, why don't I know if you build a house?" β
"Hehe, it's not that time is tight, so I didn't want to alarm everyone" Liu Junhao had to repeat the conversation.
The sand was transported and poured on the side of the road, anyway, the road was wide, and it did not delay the people in the village to pull the cart and walk.
Zhao Guangming did things quite neatly, and the next day the construction team and the brick-pulling car came.
Rural houses are particular, new bricks, old tiles, old stones, just out of the kiln tiles are particularly brittle, only the house is strong after a long time in the wind and sun. Therefore, Liu Junhao did not break the dismantled machine tiles, but let people stack them neatly at the root of the wall, ready to build other houses in the future.
Originally, Zhang Qian wanted to come over to help boil the water in the morning, but Liu Junhao was troublesome and served directly with watermelon.
On a hot day, after eating the watermelon soaked in well water, the whole person felt comfortable and energetic to work.
At noon, Liu Junhao cooked early and called them down to eat.
There was a lot of strength in the crowd, and the entire roof was demolished at about five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hey, this looks like walnut," exclaimed a builder who was about to lift the girder down, when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Really," the rooftop men shouted.
Walnut wood is hard and not prone to insects, so it's a shame to use it for beams.
Liu Junhao didn't expect that his house beams were made of walnut wood, and he was thinking about using walnut wood for furniture two days ago. I really want to come to something, with these few walnut woods, the wood for furniture is more than enough.
Later, he learned that when the warehouse was first built, it was built to a high standard, and the walnut wood was cut from the mountains by the villagers with great effort.
When the room was cleaned up, it happened to be sent to the floor, and everyone was busy going down the floor.
The day passed quickly, and because he was a contractor, he didn't go up to help.
But I'm not idle, I've been busy with miscellaneous things below.
At night, Liu Junhao slept directly on the edge of the shed, and this time he really fulfilled his wish to lie in bed and watch the stars.
When I went up the floor the next day, almost all the stick laborers in the village had come over, and it seemed that everyone had gotten the news.
The manpower is naturally fast, and it only takes half an hour for the floor slabs to be paved.
After that, I started to build the concrete wall, which was much faster. As Liu Junhao expected, in less than three days, the wall had been built.
Next is Shangliang, Liu Junhao also prepared coins, peanuts, walnuts, candies and other things early according to the old rules of the village.
Shangliang is naturally lively, and the half-grown bear children in the village are waiting in the courtyard early after eating, even Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong are no exception.
The coins were specially exchanged by him on the street to find Lao Guo, a total of fifty yuan, and those five-dime and one-yuan coins made these boys smile from ear to ear.
Of course, Liu Junhao did not forget to give red envelopes to the people who came to help, while Zhang Qian held the candy for the people watching the excitement to catch, and the two really had a bit of a husband and wife.
After the second floor slab is laid, the rest of the work is to paint the walls.
In summer, the water is steaming quickly, and the lime on the wall has dried in just a few days.
The whitewashed walls are a bit cumbersome and require constant delivery of lime. Although the lime barrels were very small, they could not hold a large amount, and hundreds of barrels had to be sent to the second floor in the morning.
Liu Junhao saw that the construction worker was tired and sweating, so he simply took off his clothes and got on the horse shirtless.
He has a lot of strength, and he doesn't take a breath for half a day.
Originally, Zhang Qian wanted to pave all the interior with floor tiles, but Liu Junhao persuaded him to finally only lay one floor on the second floor.
Looking at the changes in the new house day by day, it would be a lie to say that I was unhappy.
The weather is beautiful, and it has been sunny during this time.
In ten days, the house was completely built.
The outside is glued with snow-white tiles, and it really looks like a small villa from a distance.
Although Liu Junhao was eager to move in, he still patiently waited for it to dry completely. (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
