Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 80 080 One's Difficult Survival 4
Ye Fu planned to build red bricks and cement on the outside of the wooden house to prevent rainwater and snow from flowing into the house, and the table top of the house should be higher than the ground outside, and the table top should be higher to prevent moisture.

After sawing the wood, Ye Fu began to dig the foundation. She planned an area of ​​[-] square meters. The internal structure of the wooden house includes a small bedroom, a small kitchen, and a simple washroom.

It took a whole day and a half to dig the foundation frame. The gravel was laid flat under the dug foundation, and fir trees were erected in the pits at each corner as pillars. A concave hole had been dug on the pillars. In the middle, the fir is stacked horizontally, and the principle of concave and concave bites is used to inlay the horizontal and vertical logs together, and so on.

For the horizontal fir, Ye Fu chose not too thick wood, otherwise she would not be able to lift it up by herself. After calculating the number of horizontal logs needed, they sawed them according to different sizes, which made the construction much more convenient.

Rural earth houses always use triangular brackets to fix the beams. Ye Fu studied the construction book, but she is not strong enough to make a beam alone, so she can only use some fist-sized beams instead, and then fix them one by one. superior.

It took Ye Fu five days to complete this big frame. She only had one requirement for the house, and that was practicality. Beauty and ugliness didn't matter, the main thing was that it be firm and indestructible.

On the sixth day, Ye Fu took out a plastic tarpaulin and covered it from the top of the beam. He fixed the tarpaulin with nails and small wooden boards. The tarpaulin was thick enough to block light and prevent rain.

But just covering it with tarpaulin was not enough. For the roof, Ye Fu laid wooden boards tightly on the outside of the tarpaulin, and then spread another layer of tarpaulin on top.

Under several layers of insurance, not to mention that rainwater cannot enter, snow falls on it, and it is difficult to accumulate according to the smoothness and slope.

For the location of the kitchen, Ye Fu specially made an exhaust pipe and a chimney. There is no chimney pipe, so it can only be built with red bricks.

The part of the chimney that exits the roof, Ye Fu planned to make an outward turn, so that even if it rained or snowed, it would not fall in through the chimney.

After the frame is roughly finished, Ye Fu plans to start working on the ground inside the house.

The ground is leveled with a shovel, then sprinkled with gravel, then covered with a layer of soil, and continued to be beaten with a shovel, until the ground is completely flattened, and then paved with thick wooden boards.

Ye Fu discovered that human potential is truly endless, as long as he pushes himself, he can do anything.

The wooden house is already in shape, and there are fireplaces, fire pits, kitchen sinks, drains, stoves, and bathroom drains. Take your time. Although the weather is getting colder, there is no rush .

The fir trees that Ye Fu had cut before were far from enough. She made a five-story staircase outside the wooden house, sawed off the remaining fir trees, and surrounded the wooden house. There was still a wooden gate for the fence. do it.

On the seventh day, Ye Fu started to make a fireplace. To be honest, she had never seen this thing in real life, so she could only look at the pictures in the book to figure it out.

The fireplace also needed a chimney pipe. After two days of modification, Ye Fu finally made a fireplace that looked simple but was very difficult to make. Fu can't control it anymore, let's make do with it.

Bean Miao has been a little unhappy in recent days, because Ye Fu has no time to play with it. She starts to work in the morning, and goes to bed after washing up in the evening. Repeatedly, it swayed in front of her from time to time, and Ye Fu Drive out in disgust.

Ye Fu handed the roasted chicken leg in front of it, and the bean sprouts pretended not to see it, twisted their buttocks, and turned their backs to Ye Fu.

"Don't even eat chicken legs? I specially roasted them for you."

Dou Miao flicked her tail, but still ignored Ye Fu.

"If you don't eat, you will fall, and if you ignore me, we will start a cold war from now on. If you ignore me, then I will ignore you."

Ye Fu deliberately snorted at its back, and ate the chicken leg in his hand, the bean sprouts moved its ears, then moved its tail, and finally turned around tentatively, seeing Ye Fu ate the chicken leg, it panicked. You have to yell, and you will rush to grab it.

Ye Fucai was not used to it, so he continued to work after eating and drinking enough, leaving it in place to continue to be unhappy.

When she was bored, Ye Fu would also take out her mp3 to listen to music, which was strange, after living in the mountains for so many days, she didn't come across any animals.

Are all the animals going to hibernate?
November, um, is indeed winter.

In the past few days when the wooden house is coming to an end, the temperature has dropped to five or six degrees, and the fog in the mountains is still very thick, and it is almost impossible to see things ten meters away.

The stove in the kitchen has been set up, and the stove is ready to boil water for cooking. Ye Fu usually keeps the fire on to dry the wooden house.

The outside of the wooden house has not yet been covered with red bricks and covered with cement. Ye Fu worried that it will rain before it snows, so he hastened to build the reinforced red bricks on the outer wall.

After several days of working and touching the water, Ye Fu's hands started to become red and swollen, lying on the bed at night was extremely itchy, rubbing medicine didn't work, Ye Fu could only inject two needles on himself.

It took several days to lay the red bricks and apply cement. The weather was too gloomy, and it was not easy to dry the cement. Ye Fu could only set up a few fires in the small courtyard, and use external forces to dry the cement quickly.

On November [-]th, a few scattered snowflakes fell from the sky, and the inside and outside of the wooden house were finished, but it was still a little damp inside, and it was not possible to live in directly. Ye Fu was in the house, in the fireplace, on the kang There is a fire inside, and the wooden house is very warm. With the doors and windows closed, it is very warm inside.

In order to celebrate the completion of the wooden house, Ye Fu plans to have something good for dinner.

Stewed mutton with wolfberry, watercress fish, cabbage tofu soup, braised eggplant in oil, stewed trotters...

After three hours of busy work, the dinner was finally ready. This was the best meal Ye Fu had eaten since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

What is worth celebrating is that Ye Fu and Dou Miao have reconciled as before, and they are still good friends after the Cold War, and they still sleep head to head together at night.

Ye Fu sat in the RV, looking at the small yard not far away, and the small wooden house in the small yard, feeling extremely satisfied.

Snowflakes began to flutter and fall, mixed with light rain, the lights inside the car were dim, Dou Miao was watching cartoons on the tablet, Ye Fu was drinking soup while looking at the snow scene outside the window.

What should we do tomorrow?

Let’s build a fence gate and build a pond. The water in the space should be kept for backup. The water in the pond is very clean and clear, much cleaner than the drinking water in the city.

The day after tomorrow, what should I do?

By the way, the bison in the space should be taken out and processed, bled, skinned, and fleshed, and some beef jerky can be made, or beef sauce can be made.
