Volume 2 Chapter 129 Busy to take off

After a few days, the whole person seemed to fall apart, but fortunately, the land was finally able to start leveling the foundation, and my obsession with the first room was almost to the point of going crazy.

If we don't start construction, we will have to do it in this straw hut or in the broken houses on the island, but these are the choices I want to try to avoid.

Leveling the foundation is actually relatively simple, not to mention the drop in the weather, the heat stroke has become more wild, and of course the efficiency has also improved, only in half a day.

I should have been waiting to build a house sooner, but a few hours before dark, I was ready to fix a facility that I had been annoyed with for a long time.

At the beginning of the island, the stove built with a few stones for emergency use was too chainless, not even a general, and after a long time, I already disliked it to the extreme!

The first room will not be completed until next month, and I don't even know when the kitchen will be ready for use, but it will be a quarter away.

I don't want to settle for such a long time, a good stove can help me save time and improve the user's actual experience, which can even affect the mood of the whole day.

This time, I put the stove directly in the straw shed, and I can expect that the first room will not be put into use for too long, because all kinds of materials are prepared, so the role of the straw shed after the completion of the house has dropped sharply, and I can barely make a kitchen.

The style of the stove is almost the same as the previous kitchen stove, but there is only one hole for the pot, after all, it won't take a few months.

......

The process of building a house is almost exactly the same as before, after all, the firmness of the house is obvious before, and after several typhoons, no major problems were found.

In view of the trust and understanding of this structure, there will be no major changes in the walls and dimensions, but it is estimated that a lot of work will be added to the roof.

In this process, the beams and various woods of the roof are placed and fixed, and a layer of fine twigs is added to make it almost airtight or slightly airy.

The next step is to apply a layer of wet mud thicker than the palm of your hand on these branches, and after applying a piece of this slightly thin wet mud, you will immediately place the tiles on top of the wet mud.

This step actually comes from the lesson of so many typhoons, when the typhoon reaches a certain magnitude, it will always blow the lighter tile into the room or blow it down, and every time it notices that something is wrong, it will wear a hat, but it has also been smashed several times.

The key point is that every time a strong typhoon encounters not only the loss of tiles is serious, but most of the things in the house will also be wet by the rain, and after the typhoon, it will take a lot of time to deal with the troubles caused by the typhoon, and the roof will also need to be renovated.

It's okay once or twice, but I've gotten tired of it a few times, and I've been thinking about a solution to this problem for a long time, and now I finally have the initial results, that is, wet mud!

The wooden structure on the roof is covered with branches and then covered with a layer of wet mud and then put the tiles on it, its effect is similar to glue, and after drying, you can bite the ditch tiles to death, even if a strong typhoon comes, I am not afraid.

As long as the ditch tile does not shake much, then the problem of the cover tile is not too big, and the loss can be reduced by at least 60% compared with the past, and the more important post-disaster leakage repair is only in a few places, rather than the overall renovation.

......

The speed of construction was quite good, both for my urgency and for the fact that all kinds of materials were available.

When I first built the house, it took me nearly 10 days to collect all kinds of wood, but this time I just had to pick and choose from the mountains of timber piled up next to me, and I didn't want to do anything that didn't like it, because there was so much wood.

Not to mention building such a room, the wood of the right size is estimated to be enough to build ten rooms!

However, compared with the original speed, the improvement is not obvious, the construction of the entire wall took about ten days, excluding the rain in the middle of the day, almost half a month has passed......

The roof is even more complicated because of the addition of wet mud, and the workload of one room is 1.5 times that of the previous one, so the net construction period is actually extended.

The main body of the whole house was built later than I expected, because the construction period was delayed until late January due to the abundant rain during this period, and if I hadn't consciously accelerated the progress a long time ago, I might not have been able to live in it for the New Year.

Even if it is completed now, it will not be much better, and there will be various other tasks after the main body is completed, anyway, all kinds of things that have been busy at this time in previous years are probably going to be delayed until next year.

There are still four or five hundred bricks left to sit idle, and I am still going to lay them on the floor of the room, and I will save myself the trouble of the future when one is completed.

I moved in in a hurry, and it was too much of a toss to get things out and re-lay the bricks later, and now my time is too precious!

Less than a third of the ground is still unpaved, but it is ready for use, but it is ......

I am now facing a lot of embarrassing problems, the only bed is still on the island, and at the same time, corn and other food and door panels are there, and living in a newly built house will not only have to sleep on hay, but there is no door to block the wind at the critical night.

......

So I had a headache, and the key point of the headache was whether to stay on the island or move all of them, and although there were no other people on the island, most of the food was there.

At present, the time spent on Crocodile Island is longer, almost seven out of ten days will be here, and the time to return will only be three or four nights, let alone later, except for the routine feeding of chickens and sheep.

With this in mind, I decided to slowly move the bed, door panels, clay pots, and food from the next trip.

Although this decision is very reluctant, because the relocation of these things means that the island is getting farther and farther away from me, and there will be less and less intersection with it!

It's a little sad to think about, but the successful completion of the first room has diluted this sentiment a little.

The completion of the first house marked a significant progress in the second phase of construction, which solved the housing problem and provided basic security for the survival of the island, and even the things that had been moved over had a place to be stored.

Even if you don't count the round-trips between the two islands, you probably have thirty or fifty trips, and most of these times are used to transport bricks and tiles, so that most of the family's important belongings are actually still on the island.

Fortunately, there is still half a month before the New Year, and the number of round-trips has reached four or five times, and most of the items with a ship volume of more than 300 catties have been able to be transported, so it can be determined that the New Year will be carried out on the new island!

This year's busyness is destined to be annoying, and the thought of the work at hand is even more worrying that I can't sleep well at night.

There is no objection to moving here for the New Year, but at this time it raises a very important question, where will the crops be planted next season, and I believe that after a little thought, it will definitely be planted on this island!

There were more than 20 days left before the Chinese New Year, and there were at most two months left before the next season of planting, but I had to tell myself that the ideal crop was still a large grove......

Cutting down trees is only part of the job, and it takes two or three years for the stumps left behind after they are cut down to take them out after decay, and the area they occupy cannot be used, and if you plant two acres, you must prepare at least three acres of vacant land.

Thinking of cutting down three acres of trees, digging the soil and then sowing seedlings after cutting and processing, and other construction work can't be stopped, I now have the urge to jump into the sea and commit suicide!

......

Judging from the current progress of the work, if all the crops are planted here, it may not be possible, and even if you are exhausted to death, I am afraid that you will not be able to drive it out.

Besides, if all the chickens and sheep are planted here, the chickens and sheep will have to move over in the near future, and there will be no shadow of the chicken pen and the sheepfold, and other more important work will be piled up!

After thinking about it, I finally compromised partially, and the next season's carrots, potatoes, greens, spinach, and peanuts still have to be planted on the island, and Crocodile Island only grows corn and sweet potatoes, as well as various Chinese herbs and ginger.

In terms of the speed of opening up the wasteland and building houses, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to open up an area of more than three acres in a month after the year.

But the busyness continues, and I feel like I'm about to fly, and if I continue to be so busy, I can't say that I can ascend to heaven......

In the next few days, the beds and door panels and some of the grain were brought in, and about a thousand bricks were made again to dry, and sometimes I didn't know that my potential was so great without pushing myself.

There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, and most of the past few days in previous years were in a state of vacation or in the stage of preparing ingredients, but this time it was more miserable, and I had to continue to be busy!

The brick-making has stopped, and after two or three days to drive out thousands of pieces to make up the number of kilns, I am not ready to do it again, the temperature is really not suitable for this work again, and I am still worried that I will get frostbite on my feet.

So I switched trades and worked as a lumberjack to prepare the land for spring, and the comfort was that there were fewer rocks on the flat ground, and the trees were as dense as the woods before the house was built, but the average diameter of the trees was slightly smaller, and the difficulty of cutting down was an order of magnitude lower.

This is also directly reflected in the speed, the average daily speed is about 1.5 times that of clearing the vacant land a few months ago, and it can also clean 60 or 70 square meters in a day, which is almost one-tenth of an acre.

If I were a machine, I would have been able to open up three acres of land around mid-March, but unfortunately I am a human being, not only my body will be tired, but my heart will also be tired, and I will have resistance to logging in a few days!

In the last two days of the year, about half an acre of crops were opened, and seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to begin, I was ready to take advantage of this holiday to rest for two days.

In fact, it is not a rest, I returned to the island and transported a sheep to prepare to kill the New Year, the eight gods are still difficult to raise, and it is reasonable to take this opportunity to reduce one.
