December has passed like this, and today on the solar calendar is the beginning of a new year, the difference is that last year's New Year's Day was still in the mood to cook a few hard dishes, but this year's New Year's Day is still busy doing things.

I don't know how long the busy days will last, but I don't think I will have much free time in half a year.

I finally thought that I could live a quiet life after my life was stable last year, but I didn't expect this plan to go bankrupt due to a typhoon before it started!

Although the first house that looks good from the outside was officially completed, and it looks good on the surface, the supporting conditions are a little unable to keep up with the grade of the house.

This kind of problem is reflected in many aspects, among which the problem of sleeping is the most obvious!

Because I lay a haystack on the ground, I slept in the haystack, and it was quite comfortable to sleep on the grass in the summer, and the mattress was covered with sheepskin, but when it cooled down, the experience was not so good......

It is not pleasant to sleep on the ground again in such low temperature conditions, and the body receives a lot of moisture when sleeping on the ground.

In addition, it is estimated that sleeping on the haystack will be solved in the near future, and killing another sheep in the New Year will have three sheepskins, and it should be enough to keep warm even in winter, all of which have prompted me to have the psychology of change.

I was thinking about making a bed, and this idea was not a hot brain, but the result of thinking about it for a long time, a bed would not only allow me not to sleep on the ground, but also better integrate with the lifestyle before I went to the island!

"Clothing, food, shelter and transportation" are the basic needs of human life, and they are constantly improving and progressing.

Subdivided into the "living" part, the house has already been partially built, and there is no reason not to improve the sleeping place as much as possible, so do it if you want to!

I don't think there are many showmans in the good plan, I just want to complete it in the simplest and most labor-saving way, and I don't think about how beautiful and how many functions I want, everything is mainly practical!

......

The height of the bed is about thirty or forty centimeters above the ground, the length is still two meters the most common, and the width is about one and a half meters.

In order to save time and trouble, at first I directly found some wood with the same diameter and a length of 1.5 meters, and spread a layer of dry grass on the main frame, so that it would not be too meaty.

Later, I felt that it would take more time to improve after doing this, and it would be better to spend a little more effort to do it better, at least for ten or eight years, so I changed to using a wooden board.

This has become the biggest trouble in making a bed, and if you want to sawn a complete wood into two or three centimeters thick planks, with the current tools and capabilities, the efficiency is estimated to be not too high!

I still remember when I was a child, when a family in the countryside needed wooden planks to build a house, they used two people to put a long log on a shelf more than one meter high, and then one person used a saw with a length of nearly two meters to pull it continuously to see the planks out.

The final product is not only not as neat as modern chainsaws, but also the efficiency is so slow that it is a headache, and two people can sawing out more than ten planks a day......

Compared with the speed of my own hand saw, the speed is more touching, the length of two meters and the diameter of more than 20 centimeters of wood, can only be sawed out of three planks a day, at first I was complacent that sawing five or six pieces a day is not a problem!

Don't underestimate these three planks, each of them is covered in my sweat.

Not only that, but at the end of the day, the palm of the right hand was hit with several blood blisters.

What's even more disgusting is that the whole arm is sore, I can't even hold the chopsticks when eating, and I sometimes look at the trembling hands and laugh inexplicably!

The ordeal was far from over, and the main task the next day was sawing planks, and I didn't want to break up one thing into many times, which not only delayed the time to put it into use, but also sometimes made it easy to forget.

......

On the first day, three planks were sawed, on the second day there were less than three, and on the third day there were only two.

A total of eight two-meter-long planks were obtained in three days, and if there is such a low efficiency in this modern society that pays attention to efficiency, it is estimated that the salary received will not be enough to fill the stomach!

For a bed with a width of one meter and five meters, eight planks are enough, but these planks cannot be used directly, and the two sides need to be chopped more regularly with an axe, and the sides of the two planks should be closed so that there will be no big gaps.

After the trimming, the eight planks were laid flat on the bed and were still a little short of a width of 1.5 meters, which was a defective product in the past, but a little more or less here doesn't have much effect!

The next step is to make the frame of the bed, originally I was going to sawn wood at the foot of the bed, but sawing wood every day in the past few days has made people very physically and mentally rejected, and this option was ruled out later.

I directly pried up more than 20 bricks on the ground, and six bricks were placed on each of the four corners of the bed as the foot of the bed.

Then two pieces of wood two meters long and two pieces of wood one and a half meters long were selected as the load-bearing, and straight wood thicker than an arm was selected, and they were nailed with iron nails to form the frame of the bed.

After the main body of the bed comes out, the prepared planks are laid out, and the bed is ready to use.

To be safe, I first stood up and kept moving, and then jumped on it, but the bed only wobbled slightly, which proved that the hard work of the days was not in vain, and the planks were able to bear my weight!

Having a new bed also means that I don't have to sleep on the floor anymore, but it also makes it difficult for me to put a layer of hay on the bed, but without hay, the blanket and sheepskin are not enough to keep out the cold.

In the end, I compromised with reality, spread a layer of hay, and have the right to "endure for a while, calm down", and everything will be fine in the next winter!

I don't know if it's a psychological delusion, but when everything else hasn't changed, I just changed from sleeping on the floor to sleeping in bed, but the quality of sleep at night has improved significantly.

I used to wake up at least three or four times a night, but I only woke up once last night, and it seems that the hard work of a few days is still very worthwhile.

......

The sawing planks is tiring but I can't stop, and I want to get more planks and make some other furniture, but it's not enough to have a bed, all kinds of furniture are urgently needed at this stage.

According to the urgency of the need, the second piece of furniture in addition to the bed was a table, a table that was more upscale and higher in height than the simple tables made of slate before.

The slate of the table that used to solve the problem has become my brick-making workbench, so it no longer exists.

For the next five days I was sweating to get more planks, and my right hand would tremble after the stoppage every day, and it would take at least an hour to get back to normal, but even that didn't stop me, and the result of a few days was thirteen planks.

A two-meter-long wooden board was sawn in half, that is, one meter in length, and then four pieces were joined to form an 80-centimeter-wide tabletop, and the table was half completed, and after adding four legs and four wooden squares, a modern wooden table was presented in front of me.

It's false to say that there are no waves in my heart, and I've wanted a table for a long time.

I have always eaten with few dishes, and when I can make two or three dishes, I can eat directly on the ground, and I finally built a stone slab as a table, and the house was destroyed by a typhoon, and it became a meal on the ground, and now I finally turned over and sang and was able to sit on the table and eat seriously......

And usually many things in the kitchen are squatted on the ground because of the problem of no countertop, such as cornmeal, processing fish and mutton, etc., every time I get up, I have back pain and my eyes are full of gold stars, and these problems can be completely changed in the future!!

......

In the past, the door was tied with a stick and a rope, which was not only bulky and leaky, but it was fine in summer and exceptionally cool at night, but the feeling in winter was not very good, and a cool breeze could make people cold in an instant.

The door frame was originally reserved for a width of 80 centimeters, about 1.8 meters high, and four planks could make a door.

The door made of the door panel not only looks much more eye-catching from the appearance, but also has a significant reduction in weight, and you can say goodbye to the days of air leakage when you sleep at night in the future!

The only thing that is not very satisfying and needs to be improved is the opening and closing, the doors of modern craftsmanship have a shaft to turn, and they do not even make a sound.

With my half-tone level, not only can the shaft not be made, but I don't even know how to reserve the installation hole for the position of the door when building the wall, so I can only postpone it indefinitely if I want to solve the big problem of sliding door!

A room needs two doors, so the door panel of the two doors is made, and after the other houses are built, because of the communication between them, it can be completely blocked at both ends with only these two or three doors, which can be said to be once and for all.

......

Of the thirteen planks, eight were used for two wooden doors, two for tables, and the remaining three for a wooden box.

In fact, there are enough containers at home, and the purpose of making it is mainly used to hold clothes and other items, and it is useless to wear clothes and sheepskins in summer and winter, and there is always no suitable place to store them after more.

In the future, there will only be more and more sheepskins, and the limited number of clothes themselves are also very important, and the poor storage method will reduce their lifespan over time, and in the end it will be my own things that will be lost.

The length of the box is about 65 cm, and one plank can be divided into three pieces, and the width is about 50 cm, and three planks are almost not enough.

The final lid is just a whole board, and if you want to seal it, you need to tie it with a rope, unlike the current box lid that can move up and down and the buckle can be locked, which is a luxury here.

At the end of the day, I was left with a 40-centimeter-long plank, and I wanted to make a childish thing --- swing!

I drilled a few holes at both ends of the plank and tied it to two big trees not far away, and after constantly adjusting the height, it finally fitted and sat on the newly made swing as if I was a child!

The feeling of the breeze blowing back and forth in the forest is intoxicating, and at this moment it seems to forget where you are, forget your daily worries, and everything seems so harmonious......
