Chapter 651: Designing Toilets and Bathrooms
The problem of the kitchen was easy to solve. After all, kitchens are for cooking. In terms of hygiene, it is, after all, a cleaner place.
Chu Xintian spent a lot of thought, or in the bathroom next to the kitchen.
In modern times, the general bathroom and toilet, that is, the toilet are closely connected.
Modern running water, drainage systems and power sources make an indelible contribution to clean and hygienic toilets.
However, in ancient times, these water and drainage systems, as well as electricity, were not available. Keeping the inside of the toilet clean is difficult.
So, Chu Xintian gave up the idea of connecting the toilet and bathroom. She decided to separate the two rooms.
So next to the east side of the transept, a small house was built, about seven or eight square meters.
At the beginning of the design of the architectural bathroom, Chu Xintian's first thought of the material was natural ceramic tiles.
But in this era, there was no manufacturing technology for cement and tiles. While porcelain manufacturing was also well developed in ancient times, it was simple for craftsmen to make curved bowls, vases, and other things. It is very difficult to make flat tiles. It is not possible to make a large number of tiles when firing.
Therefore, after discussing with Jiao Tiezhu, Chu Xintian decided to give up building a bathroom with tiles. Even if they could buy tiles at a high price, they wouldn't be able to find cement. There is no way to stick.
However, what should a bathroom be built with without tiles?
Chu Xintian quickly came up with a solution.
Chu Xintian thought of a modern sauna. Many of the saunas in the baths are wooden. Their bathrooms can completely create the look of a sauna!
Underneath the bathroom, the earth dragon is also paved. The floor and walls of the bathroom can be spliced with wooden panels. There is no need to shower, just a large carved bath tub in the middle of the bathroom.
It can also be like a modern sauna. When people go in and take a bath, they can put some stones and other things in the fire to be hot. They can maintain the temperature of the bathroom with hot air.
After bathing, you can also heat the earth dragon and dry the entire sauna to keep the bathroom dry and inhibit mold growth.
Thinking of this good idea, Chu Xintian was so happy that she almost jumped up.
In this era, the last thing Chu Xintian is used to is taking a bath and going to the toilet. No one knows how much she misses the 24-hour hot bathroom in the modern high-rise apartment she lives in.
Every time she completes her task, the first thing she does when she gets home is to go to the bathroom and shower. She was soaked in warm water from head to toe. After she took a hot shower, she would feel exhausted and all gone.
Of course, in this era, this kind of automatic shower room is almost impossible to achieve, so Chu Xintian retreated to second place and created a sauna.
Although this bath is a bit troublesome compared to showering, it is a good thing for Chu Xintian to take a comfortable bath.
There is a bathroom next to the kitchen, which is also considered convenient for hot water.
It's okay in summer, you must use hot water for bathing in winter, and there is hot water in the kitchen, so it's easy and fast to send to the bathroom, and the road is also very short.
The problem of the bathroom was solved, which was also Chu Xintian's heart disease.
Next, there is one more problem that needs to be solved, and that is the toilet.
In this day and age, the toilet is a place with a lot of smell, whether it is a small family in the countryside or a large family in the city.
Chu Xintian's most unbearable thing is the toilet in summer. It stinks. If she goes to a tuba and stays in it for a while, she will suffocate to death.
In order to make the toilet in the new house more hygienic, Chu Xintian thought of many ways.
Think about it, modern flush toilets are the most hygienic.
In the end, Chu Xintian took Hammer and Ah Lu to Beishan, found the thickest bamboo, cut about twenty of them, and replaced the modern sewer with the thickest bamboo. The outlet of the pipe was connected to the outside of the house, and a septic tank was built in the northwest corner of the house for drainage.
