At the height of 1.5 meters, four windows with a length and width of 50 centimeters were left for ventilation and lighting.

This technique is achieved with the help of the power of wooden boards, and a wooden board with a length of more than 50 centimeters is horizontally placed at the top of the window, so that the bricks on it do not fall, otherwise the stickiness of the soil will definitely collapse.

The four windows not only allow for better lighting in the house, but also save almost 200 bricks.

However, there is another problem, which is to make several wooden boxes with a length and width of nearly 50 centimeters and put them in the house, which can be used to block the windows in case of a typhoon or other situation.

In order to facilitate the tiling of the two walls of the house, the style is high in the middle and low on the sides, and it is similar to the brick houses in the countryside in all aspects.

It's just that there is no cement and other reasons, the wall is still not as beautiful as modern times, and there is also a significant gap in terms of solidity.

The roof itself should be done after the wall is built, but it is very dangerous to go up directly without waiting for a certain degree of dryness on the wall cemented with mud, and it is likely that the whole wall will deform and collapse after bearing my weight!

After more than a week of busyness, I was also very tired, and I took the opportunity to take another two days off.

Not only is the variety of food relatively monotonous, but even the amount of food is rapidly depleted, and more than half of the corn has been consumed!

I don't know how long I haven't eaten coconut crab in my busy life this year, and I haven't even tasted a few coconuts, but I don't plan to do this kind of luck in the near future, and I still plan to go to the beach today.

On the one hand, I checked for anything new on the beach, and I also scavenged some seafood such as conch and oysters along the way, which is too low to go to sea in this season.

Today, there is really no gain in terms of materials, but the conch picked up half a basket, it is estimated that there are seven or eight catties, and there are three or four catties of leeches and oysters, plus corn tortillas, and it can solve three or five days' food at once.

It's not much, but at least it lasts a few more days, and after the busiest time passes, I'll spend a lot of time looking for ingredients.

......

There is now a high expectation that the potatoes will ripen and scale up quickly, and the food is really suffering.

For a long time, the three meals a day were mainly corn tortillas and fish, supplemented by green vegetables, and then I picked up other ingredients in my spare time and occasionally made small improvements!

It's a big problem, and if you start on the island, you'll find that I've always been miserable in terms of food, except for the luck that I can find some rare ingredients to add to my meal, I don't even want to mention the main food!

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that the cassava I had planted last winter had been neglected, and I had to call myself a "stupid pig", walking by it every day, but always treating it as if it didn't exist.

The taste of cassava is very good, and the nutrition is also very rich, in addition to the lower yield and longer cycle, the taste is almost the same as that of sweet potatoes, but fortunately, it is not too late to wake up, and you can say goodbye to the tired tortillas recently......

The growth cycle of cassava is long, and it basically takes about a year to basically mature, and it is indeed more than a year to calculate the time.

Digging cassava is a physical job, but the joy of the harvest makes people dig more and more energetic, as if there is inexhaustible strength, and finally dig out half of the total area, and get 50 catties can almost last for half a month!

After two or three days of drying, the wall was almost dry, at least there was no shaking feeling when standing up.

Finally the roof can be built, and the timber has already been prepared in advance, and with the exception of a very small part, most of it is made directly from ready-made timber that has been demolished from the previous house.

However, the start was not good, a little accident happened within two hours of the start of construction, the simple ladder I made when I built the house last time was broken by me, if I hadn't quickly thrown away the wood in my hand and jumped to the ground decisively, I almost got injured!

This also shows the importance of safe production, and if you are injured as a result, you don't know how long the construction work will be delayed.

The damage to the ladder had to be stopped, and a new ladder had to be made urgently.

......

Compared with the previous ones, this one is much stronger, and the material is wood thicker than the arm, if you don't take into account the weight, even choose the wood with the thickness of the calf.

Learning from the experience of damaged ladders, it is up to four meters long, and it can be built more gently and up and down will be safer and more convenient.

Compared with ground work, aerial work can be too laborious, especially many tasks that require two people to complete can now only be done by me alone, and the non-stop transportation of materials up and down has become the main problem.

Among them, the main beam is the most difficult, with a diameter of 15 centimeters and a height of about 4.2 meters.

Even so, the weight of the air-dried is not less than 100 pounds, and it takes me a lot of work to carry them to the roof.

A main beam from the ground to the roof, and then to the position, can paralyze people on the ground, but also with the help of a ladder.

I first pulled one end of the wood up the gentler ladder and pushed it up from the bottom up until most of it was on the roof.

This is really not an easy job, if you do this alone for half a month, it is estimated that the unicorn arm can be trained!

In addition, considering that other rooms will be built next to each other in the future, and will be shared with the current wall, the top of the wall is still reserved for the future beams.

It only takes more than ten or twenty minutes to carry a beam to the roof and put it on, but after putting it down, you need to rest for at least 20 minutes before you can carry the second one, which is really too laborious.

It took a whole day to put only ten on the roof, and it was only completed in a hurry......

If it weren't for safety, I could have replaced it with a 10-centimeter-diameter trunk, which not only saved me worry and effort, but also saved a lot of time, but thinking about what happened to my previous house, I still made up my mind to make it stronger.

......

I try to use nails to connect the woods, some places with thicker ropes, and especially important places even double insurance, nails and ropes to fix.

The safety of this house is my top priority, and I am really frightened by this typhoon to be so strong and strong, and the loss is too great!

Rows of tiled wooden strips are fastened to the beams at intervals, and only the sound of "bang" can be heard in the vicinity, just like when a woodpecker is working.

In the end, the tiles were very fast, and I was annoyed to be a porter shuttling back and forth between the roof and the ground, a room needed two or three thousand tiles, and I could only transport about thirty tiles back and forth, so I can imagine that nearly a hundred back and forth can simply make my head dizzy!

Although the roof did not take as long as the walls were built, it took five or six days, at which point the first brick house was finally completed!!

After two months of hard work, it was finally harvest season, and the total time from the laying of the first brick to the end of the capping, plus the time lost due to rain and other delays, was more than 20 days, and if you count from the beginning of making the brick and tile mold, the time span even reached 100 days.

In the current environment, with the time wasted in the rain and other things, it is not a miracle for me to build a brick house in about three months, but it is a good result, and I am beginning to admire myself a little bit......

Say goodbye to the unsafe cave again, its function will be changed to storing firewood again, and I hope I will never live in it again!

Thinking that I finally have a decent place to live, a house with a modern style, I suddenly have mixed feelings, and tears of excitement have already flowed in my heart!

In total, more than 3,000 bricks and more than 2,000 tiles were used in the first room, which was not much different from the number I had planned in advance, and there were still a lot of tiles left, and there were not many bricks, only two or three hundred.

There are still two days before moving in, and there is still some work to be done before moving in, so you need to clean up all kinds of excess materials and fallen garbage in the house.

The next day, in view of the fact that the floor of the previous wooden house was often not dry, the new house had to be cleaned and leveled with another layer of bricks.

This is very necessary, because the previous house was more breathable, and when it rained, the house was soaked, but now it is less breathable, and of course the result will only be worse.

......

The ground is paved with a layer of bricks, even if the weather is humid, the house will not return water and maintain a certain dryness, and the floor tiled floor is like returning to the previous city, which is more immersive and comfortable!

It's just that because the number of cooked bricks burned is limited, and only half of the floor of the room is covered when all of them are used, it seems that this anticlimactic work can only be completely completed after the next kiln bricks are fired.

On the third day, I cleaned up all kinds of materials that were not used in the vicinity and piled them aside, and I was finally able to leave the cave, but fortunately I didn't encounter a large-scale collapse in the cave for more than three months!

It only took half a day for all the materials on the cave side to be moved into the built room, and there were not many things in itself, and most of the corn and peanuts that originally accounted for the majority were also solved by me, and now the corn reserves are only less than 200 catties.

Seeing that there are not many things in the room, the sleeping position is removed and it looks very crowded, which makes me have to put some less important items outside the house, such as pottery, tools, etc., it seems that this kind of crowded day is more suitable for me!

At this time, I am happy, moving to a new house is one aspect, and the things that occupy a small half of the house also show a state of affluence, and the standard of living is no longer as stretched as the first year on the island, which is also a big reason for making people happy!

Naturally, there is no housewarming ceremony on the desert island, and the only thing I can think of is to get rid of a five-pound grouper caught in the fish pond last time.

After eating peanut oil for more than a month, I can also clearly feel that my body has improved to a certain extent.

It seems that I have gained two or three pounds compared to before, you must know that my weight has been falling since I went to the island, and with peanut oil, the downward trend has finally stopped, and there is still a certain recovery.

Living thinner in the city may be the beauty that people are pursuing, but it is not a good thing to be too thin in such an environment, only stronger people have more confidence to fight against the harsh environment!
