1590. High-rise buildings from the ground
Qin Shiou asked: "Don't you need to dig out a basement? Didn't I see a basement?"
Shaq shook his head and explained: "No, Boss, you can't have a basement. This is not a villa, it's just a three-story building. The foundation must be solid and solid, otherwise there will be strong winds on the beach, and the unstable foundation will cause problems!"
This is the first disadvantage of Canadian wooden houses. They are not protected from hurricanes. North America is a common hurricane area. The South Atlantic and South Pacific are more powerful than the northern waters. Therefore, TV reports of hurricanes in the United States often occur. After the hurricane or tornado passes, the houses wherever they go have become broken wood pieces. Le-Wen-
Qin Shiou came to Canada for the first winter. When he went to the Gulf of St. Lawrence to fish for lobsters, he encountered a hurricane. At that time, the port cities along the coast were almost in ruins, and the Basque Harbor was seriously injured.
But this is not bad in Canada. There are not many hurricanes and tornados, much less than the United States.
In addition, another disadvantage of this kind of wooden house is that it is not fireproof. Once it catches fire, it cannot be put out. If the people inside can run away, they will run away. The property and the house will definitely be burned to charcoal anyway.
Therefore, Qin Shiou, in the name of firefighting in the small town, could pass the review, and bid farewell to a small town like the town to live alone overseas, firefighting is a big problem, and St. Johns cannot count on it at all, so he can only rely on himself.
However, living by the sea is also good. The air is humid and it is generally not easy to cause fires. Even if a fire occurs, it can bring water to extinguish the fire in time.
Qin Shiou nodded to show his understanding and said, "Come on, Shaq, I'll help with the work."
Shaq looked around, then gave him a nail gun, and asked him to learn from Zach to fix the wooden square on the concrete floor, saying, "There are construction drawings here, and I will draw lines in front, just follow the line."
After the wooden squares are fixed one by one, the foundation walls are installed along the wooden square. These wooden squares act as a wedge, and the wooden boards can be embedded with it.
The load-bearing wall on the first floor was built first, and then other walls were built. After they were built, they did not rush to open the second floor, but used electric drills to drill holes in the wood, discussing where to dig holes and where to crack, and then put on various wire covers to take the route in the future.
The bull led his men and then started to deal with the ceiling. This required a sound insulation board. First, a layer of sound insulation board was placed, and then the high-strength composite floor on the second floor, and then a layer of sound insulation board was laid up to be considered as the end.
Sea Monster and Shaq took people to work on the kitchen and bathroom on the first floor respectively, which is the most complicated and important.
Qin Shiou followed and saw that the construction of the kitchen was relatively easy. The most important things were the water pipes and lines, upper water pipes and drainage pipe systems were relatively complex. They could release cold water and hot water, and they also needed to discharge sewage smoothly.
The sewage pipe is ready-made. It is kept when laying the foundation, just connect it. Shaq poured a basin of water in it. The outlet of the pipe was at the beach and flowed directly into the sea. Geng Junjie ran over and looked at it, nodding and said, "No problem, the water has flowed out."
Next is the connection line, and the fishermen are also good at it, because they usually handle the lines at home, and there are traces to follow. You can master it after doing it a few times.
In the bathroom, the sea monster was busy with five fishermen. Like the kitchen, it needed water supply pipes, sewer pipes, hot water pipes, cold water pipes and various circuits. In addition, it was necessary to build a septic tank.
Qin Shiou said: "What's so complicated about this? Isn't it enough to reach the beach?"
The sea monster smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, have you seen it? It's still two kilometers away from the seaside? What should I do if the pipeline is blocked in the future? The pipelines of the Health Bureau are easily blocked."
Qin Shiou nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, I often have constipation. The shit is harder and easy to block."
After hearing this, the fishermen laughed, and then they all made disgusting expressions and said, "Don't disgust us, Boss, please go and do it, leave it to us."
He is naturally joking. Canadian houses have a characteristic. People handle food in the kitchen, but in the end some things are poured into the Health Bureau to deal with them. Therefore, the Health Bureau pipelines are not only thick and broad, but also easy to repair, and they are indeed easy to block.
The sea monster called Weier and asked the experts for advice. He chose a location for the fishermen to dig a hole to deal with it. He said that a septic tank was built there and then asked Weier to install a biogas conversion facility, so that he could use biogas to cook in the future.
Qin Shiou asked you to let me do work, why did you ask me to do it? The bull waved and said, "Boss, you can fill it with the dehumidifier."
The biggest problem with houses by the sea is that they are too moist, which can easily cause the wood to rot, so you have to do a good job of dehumidification. Generally, dehumidifiers are dehumidifiers. Dehumidifiers are installed in the house. When the house is built, dehumidifiers and desiccants are poured in the middle of the wooden boards.
The construction of septic tanks requires the use of large impact drills, because the foundation of the small building is very wide, and the surface of more than 1,000 square meters is poured with cement and reinforced concrete. The purpose is to create a good foundation. There is no way, the geology of the seaside is not good, so the foundation area is not enlarged, and it will be fun if the ground is sunk or collapses.
The power of large impact drills is very strong, and they are specially used to drill granite and reinforced concrete. This thing is a bit like an electric drill that is several dozen times enlarged, about one meter high and weighs forty kilograms. After being placed on the surface, it roared and drilled underground.
As cement and concrete pieces flew over, a septic tank of more than 80 square meters deep was built. In this way, the plastic septic barrels and septic pipes of different diameters were installed. After installation, the cover was sealed and it was half-finished.
In the future, Weil will bring people to install some biogas delivery pipelines and machines for the septic tank, and the end will be completed after all installations.
After digging the septic tank, the first day of work was over. Qin Shiou didn't do heavy work, so he was not tired. The fishermen were sweating profusely and did work hard for a salary increase.
The work in the next few days was a replication of the first day of work. With the large floor-to-ceiling windows and doors and windows delivered, the first floor quickly became decent.
The four walls of the small building are four large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the glass is naturally specially reinforced. These four floor-to-ceiling windows alone cost Qin Shiou 180,000 Canadian dollars, which is the same as the total price of the skeleton used to build the small building!
However, it is worth the money. With these four floor-to-ceiling windows, the first floor can be almost used as a tourist room in the future. In addition, the sun is good and the moisture is prevented.
The first floor was built, followed by the second floor, then the third floor, and finally a small attic was added to the top of the third floor. Shaq said it could be used as a utility room, which was very user-friendly.
In this way, the basic skeleton of the building has been formed. No wonder the fishermen are full of confidence. The main materials used during this period are processed wood and composite boards, doors, windows, tiles, and floors, and assembly lines are all ready-made. (To be continued.)
