Golden Fishery
v2 Chapter 1589: .First day
Weir smiled bitterly: "Number, man, I didn't tell you the number. My men built the building with eight people as a unit, and eight people were responsible for the construction of a building. How many fishermen do you have? There must be three. Ten?"
"Thirty-two..."
"If they know how to operate small cranes, forklifts and other tools, it will be no problem to build a building on a mature foundation within that week. Also, don't underestimate the fishermen, they are all skilled at work, compared to me The workers just lack experience, and they must have built houses."
It took another day. The seeds and spores of seaweed and algae were scattered into the fishing grounds. The seawater that macroalgae had finally cleaned became muddy again, and countless seed spores floated with the seawater, absorbing the energy of Poseidon and brewing to germinate and grow.
In the evening, Shaq and the Bull returned on a transport ship. In addition to all kinds of planks, wooden beams and columns, there were also a series of single-operated machines, such as small and medium-sized cranes, two-wheel nailing machines, and percussion drills. Wait, it looks a lot like that.
The boss and workers sorted and transported these materials around the building, and gave Qin Shiou a bill for him to check and pay.
Qin Shiou looked at it. This time, the two bought basically all wood products, and they have not bought doors and windows.
Canadian houses are almost entirely made of wood. This is not because local wood can be selected locally. Most of the wood used to build houses in Canada is transported in from South America. They themselves see things like logging and cutting trees very much. Seriously, behaviors that damage the environment are not allowed to occur.
Compared with masonry, wood is undoubtedly much lighter. In this way, construction is easy, and it is convenient to take compensatory rest when there is a problem.
Of course, timber houses are not as durable as masonry houses, but Canadians do not need their own houses to be as durable. This is different from the domestic situation and is determined by the national conditions of the two countries.
People in the country don’t like to move. They have a strong sense of nostalgia, and they will have feelings after living in one place for a long time. Therefore, it is best to build a house that is durable. Moreover, to buy a house in China, regardless of the loan repayment situation, basically all the expenses are paid in the first year, and then you can live in it later.
This is not the case in Canada. First of all, Canadians don’t like to live in one place for a long time. It can be said that they have a stronger ‘adventurous spirit’ or that they are too playful. Therefore, I often see people dragging the house around on the road. Stay wherever you are optimistic.
In this way, naturally brisk wooden houses are more suitable than masonry houses. Once the masonry houses are completed, they cannot be taken away as a whole.
In addition, there is a fixed asset tax on Canadian houses, which must be paid 3% of the value every year, so if you build an expensive house with masonry, you will naturally pay more asset tax every year. It is better to build a cheap house out of wood, so that the remaining asset tax can be used for repairs.
Maintenance may be more laborious. But Canadians are not afraid of hard work, they like this kind of manual work, and maintenance can make the house updated in time, always keeping up with fashion trends.
The most important reason is that Canadian masonry is very expensive. Those who can build houses with masonry are rich people. Many luxury houses that look like brick walls are actually decorated with brick walls on the exterior, such as Speaking of Daqin Fishery’s villas, there is a layer of ceramic tiles on the inside and outside of the wood.
Timber is relatively cheap, and South America has the most forests in the world. The forests that the Amazon rainforest can provide are countless. North America, as the neighbor and big brother of South America, can obtain a large amount of cheap wood, and in the end, it is naturally cheaper for the people to buy it.
In Qin Shiou’s bill, a large piece of wood with a height of four meters and a diameter of half a meter only cost one thousand yuan. This is unimaginable in China. As for those glued wood panels used for building houses, it is even cheaper, with 12 cm thick wood panels. One square cost only five hundred yuan.
However, some finished products are much more expensive. Some furniture is best placed in the house at the same time. Shaq bought a set of maple cabinets and large wardrobes. These two add up to 4800 yuan. The granite countertops used in the kitchen are more expensive and cost 5000 yuan. The beautiful staircase in the small building, this one is 2,800 yuan, excluding the stair railings, the stair railings will cost another 2,200 yuan.
In addition, lamps and lanterns should be purchased in advance. Shaq purchased according to Qin Shiou's requirements. The chandelier used in the hall costs 1,500 yuan, and there are twelve spotlights in a circle, 1400 yuan. The floor of the toilet and kitchen needs to be tiled, a set of 6000 pieces...
But overall, Qin Shiou felt that it was still not expensive, and all of this amounted to only RMB 180,000.
After he swiped his card to pay the bill, the boss thanked him, and then said that he needed to continue to look for him and left. It seemed that they were not surprised by their behavior of building their own houses.
Naturally, I had to live in a tent that night. Early in the morning after one night, there was the shouting of fishermen and the roar of machines outside. Qin Shiou rubbed his eyes to check the time. It was only five o'clock in the morning.
He opened the tent and looked out. The fishermen were already shirtless and enthusiastic. It seemed that they had agreed to get up and work early. Obviously, these guys are a little bragging about building a house in six days, so they hurry up and start construction.
Qin Shiou smiled badly, deliberately sabotage, he made a fragrant breakfast after washing. In fact, it's relatively simple, that is, cook a pot of milk oatmeal, fried sausages, bacon, steaks and other foods in the kitchen on the boat, as well as salted duck eggs and pickled devil **** and so on.
The fishermen are all foodies, and they have become accustomed to eating Chinese-style breakfast with him. They have a soft spot for Guizijiang and Salted Duck Eggs. They eat too much greasy, and they also like this light and delicious breakfast.
But the fishermen are not fooled. They gobbled it up when they ate. In the end, some people even put a few slices of devil **** in the bread and ran to work. It seems that the wage increase bet made them tempted.
Qin Shiou followed to help, and he also learned how Canadians build houses.
The foundation is a layer of concrete. Shaq led people to divide it neatly with spray paint. According to the design drawings, several rooms were divided, which is the garage, which is the living room, which is the bedroom, which is the kitchen, and which is It is the Health Bureau, with clear divisions.
After dividing his place, someone immediately used a nail gun to drive out cement nails, nailing the wooden squares on it, and then someone found the load-bearing wall, and drove the hoist to pull up the thick and strong wooden boards, with tall ones on both sides. The column serves as a wall pillar, dividing several rooms.
In this way, as the load-bearing wall was built, and the plan of wooden squares was added, the broad foundation was quickly covered up, and this place became a large wooden cage. (To be continued~^~)
