Chapter 070: Supporting the Window
Today's task is to continue building the roof.
While the others were working on the roof, Lu was building doors and windows.
The door is easier to do.
Lu thought about it lightly, and cut out a narrow thin plank, the long board is the height of the door, there are many of them, and the short board is the width of the door, only five pieces, all of which are made according to the size of the door frame flowing out of the earthen house, and then like a basket, the long and short boards are criss-crossed to weave a door panel.
One side of the door panel is neat, and the other side is about five centimeters away.
Lu gently found another piece of wood that was straight enough, about the thickness of an arm, and slightly longer than the height of the door panel, and cut out five flat and deep grooves against the position of the short board, and then inserted the empty end of the short board into it.
In this way, the door panel has a shaft.
Worried that the shaft would fall off, Lu gently fixed it with a thin rope, and by the way, wrapped the rope around the door panel to prevent the small planks from slipping.
Then Lu gently made a small hole up and down on the side of the earthen house door, and inserted the rotating shaft of the door panel into it, so that the door could be rotated to open and close.
A simple wooden door is ready!
Of course, you also need to add door handles, install door bolts, and strengthen the door hinge.
Lu Qingqing is really amateur to this, fortunately she has seen the structure of the ancient wooden door, but many details are just from her imagination, she also needs to explore step by step, fortunately, the final finished product is ugly, but it can be used as a door, as for better design, it depends on the potential talents in the tribe.
There are more tricks in the windows, Lu lightly moved his brain, and couldn't help but feel the idea of DIY again, and spent a design drawing on the ground to pick the window.
The branch window is also called the and closed window, divided into the upper part of the branch window and the lower part of the window, the branch window can be supported from the bottom to the top with a bamboo root, and the window can be removed, the branch window and the window can be equal in size, can also be one large and one small, it depends on the personal preference and local climate characteristics, it seems that the more complex branch window can also be divided into upper, middle and lower three, but Lu Qing has to do a simple branch of the window, her ability is limited.
She quickly made a few wooden planks as window pages, just like a door panel, but much smaller, as long as the window was made on the edge of the window, you could turn it up and down, when it rained, it would be slightly propped up, and when it was needed, the window page would be turned up 180 degrees and fixed on the wall.
If you pick the window, Lu gently inserted a few thin pieces of wood into the already hard soil in the lower part of the window, made a relatively wide groove, and then inserted the window in.
Lu lightly looked at his finished product, and he almost crossed his waist and laughed three times.
Although the windows seen in the film are particularly poetic and charming, and the ones she made are particularly rough and downtrodden, and they are a bit out of place with adobe houses.
Lu touched her nose lightly, what about the discordant style, she just likes it.
When she finished getting a set of doors and windows, and the roof was completed, Lu Qing was not interested in getting doors and windows for the other four houses one by one, it would be too laborious and unnecessary, so she announced that the house was completed!
Then it's about observation and experience, observing which clay formula makes the house the strongest, experiencing what makes the house with this structure uncomfortable and unsuitable, and then making a transformation.
"If you really build a house in the future, you must not make such a small one, how depressing it is to live, but the house is larger and has higher requirements for sturdiness, and you have to take into account the layout of multiple doors and windows, drainage, lighting and other issues, so to design better, you should think more." ”
Lu said to everyone gently, seeing that everyone was either absent-minded or at a loss, he couldn't help but have a headache, well, there are no talents in architecture here, not to mention two stones and one soil, Dacheng and Zhong are not very interested and talented in architecture, and it is not appropriate for them to take care of architectural affairs.
"Forget it, I'm not going to turn you into architects, the next team is coming, I'll pick a few of them then. ”
However, when the time comes, she will have to teach from scratch, if it weren't for Lu Qingqing's ignorance of which people in the tribe have the potential to be architects, and worried that she would collapse the house for the first time, she would have waited for the clansmen to come a little more and then start building.
But now that she has tried it out, she has accumulated experience and is more confident!
Lu gently looked up at the five very similar adobe houses in front of him, and said to Zhong: "I'll give you a task, from today on, you will toss these houses for me every day, beating them with your fists, splashing them with water, and stabbing them with knives, I want to know which house is the strongest and most suitable for living." ”
After speaking, Lu lightly felt as if she had forgotten something, she thought about it for a long time, and suddenly patted her brain, what about the bed, table and stool and other furniture in the room?
Wood or earth?
The plateau here is strangely cold, do you want to make a fire pit?
Yes, yes, and most importantly, the stove.
Lu Qingqing's complacency that had just filled his chest and abdomen was almost dispelled, and when he thought about it, he felt that he was still full of ideas, and his head was big.
She decided to put it aside for a moment and wait until she found a professional to overcome these technical challenges together.
- Ayutthaya ordered a team of people from the tribe before coming here, and told them to pack up and come over, because Ayutthaya and Heavy They came in a hurry this time, and ordinary people couldn't catch up with their footsteps, and they couldn't carry much stuff, so let them take their time.
Lu lightly set his gaze on something else.
The "weaving" of the wooden board just now reminded her of the thing that had been in her mind for a long time - weaving.
Didn't she find no hemp, no cotton or silk in her hands, only a few baskets of wool, and what to weave with her?
Lu gently said, who said that weaving cloth must use these things, if it is a very rough cloth, rough enough to lie under the body, put it under the buttocks to sit on, put it on the ground to step on, and sometimes it can be taken out to block the rain.
Don't forget where the string they use now came from.
Yes, Lu Qingqing wants to use the inner bark of the tree to weave cloth.
This plateau is full of trees, and after the cold winter, there are a lot of dead trees, and there is no fear of finding materials.
Lu gently mobilized everyone to peel the bark again.
In order to make enough strings, everyone has been very skilled in peeling the bark, and they can finish peeling one in three or two clicks.
