Chapter 1615

Weir smiled bitterly, "number, man, I didn't tell you the number. My men build buildings with eight people as a unit, and eight people are responsible for the construction of a building. How many fishermen do you have there? Must there be thirty? "

"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 in a week. Moreover, don't underestimate the fishermen. They are all skilled workers. Compared with my workers, they are just inexperienced. They must have built houses. "

After another day, the seeds and spores of seaweed and algae were scattered into the fishing ground. The sea water that was hard to clean by giant algae became turbid again. Countless seed spores floated with the sea water, absorbed the energy of Poseidon and brewed for germination and growth.

In the evening, shack and bull came back in a transport ship. In addition to all kinds of boards and wooden beams, there are also a series of single person operated machines, such as small and medium-sized lifting machines, two wheel nailing machines, impact drills, etc. it looks like that.

The boss and workers sorted and transported these materials around the building, handed Qin Shiou a bill, asked him to check it and pay.

Qin Shiou looked and saw that the two people bought basically all wood products. They haven't bought doors and windows yet.

Almost all houses in Canada are made of wood. This is not because there are many local wood, which can be selected locally. Most of the wood used in building houses in Canada is transported from South America. They themselves pay great attention to things such as logging and tree cutting, and do not allow acts that damage the environment.

Compared with brick and stone, wood is undoubtedly much lighter, so it is easy to construct and make up for any problems.

Of course, timber houses are not as strong and durable as masonry houses, but Canadians do not need their own houses to be more durable. This is different from the domestic situation and is determined by the national conditions of the two countries.

Chinese people don't like moving. They have strong nostalgia. They will have feelings after living in a place for a long time, so it's best to build a house durable. Moreover, if you buy a house in China, regardless of the repayment of the loan, basically all the expenses are paid in the first year, and you can live after that.

Canada is not like this. First of all, Canadians don't like living in one place for a long time, which can be said that they have a stronger "adventurous spirit" or that they have too much fun. So I often see someone dragging the house around with their car on the road, and live wherever they like.

In this way, naturally, the light wooden house is more suitable than the masonry house. Once the masonry house is completed, it can not be taken away as a whole.

In addition, there is a fixed assets tax for houses in Canada, which has to pay 3% of the value every year. In this way, if you build an expensive house with bricks and stones, you will naturally pay more required assets tax every year. It's better to build a cheap house with wood, so that the remaining asset tax can be used for maintenance.

Maintenance may be hard, but Canadians are not afraid of it. They like such manual work, and maintenance can update the house in time and always keep up with the fashion trend.

Another important reason is that Canadian bricks and stones are very expensive. Those who can build houses with bricks and stones are rich families. Many luxury houses that look like brick walls are only decorated with brick wall texture on the outside. For example, the villas in Daqin fishing ground are decorated with a layer of ceramic tiles on the outside of wood.

Wood is relatively cheap. South America has the largest number of forests in the world, and the Amazon rainforest can provide countless trees. North America, as the neighbor and big brother of South America, can get a lot of cheap wood, and ultimately people buy it cheaply.

In Qin Shiou's bill, a big wood four meters high and half meters in diameter is only 1000 yuan, which is unimaginable in China. As for those glued boards used for building houses, they are even cheaper. Twelve centimeter thick boards cost only 500 yuan per square meter.

However, some finished products are much more expensive. Some furniture is best put into them at the same time when building a house. Shack bought a set of maple cabinets and wardrobe, which add up to 4800 yuan. The granite countertop used in the kitchen is more expensive. It costs 5000 yuan. The beautiful stairs in the small building cost 2800 yuan, excluding the stair handrails, which cost another 2200 yuan.

In addition, lamps should also be purchased in advance. Shack purchased them according to Qin Shiou's requirements. The chandeliers used in the hall cost 1500 yuan, and twelve spotlights in a circle cost 1400 yuan. The floor of the toilet and kitchen needs ceramic tiles, 6000 pieces for one set

But on the whole, Qin Shiou thinks it's not expensive. All these add up to only 180000 yuan.

After he swiped his card to pay the bill, the boss thanked him, then said that he needed to continue looking for him and left. It seems that they are not surprised at their behavior of building their own house.

Naturally, he had to live in a tent that night. Early in the morning, the cries of fishermen and the roar of machines sounded outside. Qin Shiou rubbed his sleeping eyes to see the time. It was only five o'clock in the morning.

He opened his tent and looked out. The fishermen were already working in full swing with bare arms. It seemed that they had agreed to get up and work in advance. Obviously, these guys are a little boastful about building a house in six days, so they hurry to start work.

Qin Shiou smiled badly and deliberately did damage. After washing, he made a delicious breakfast. In fact, it is relatively simple, that is, cooking a pot of milk oatmeal porridge, frying small sausages, bacon, steak and other foods in the ship's kitchen, as well as salted duck eggs and pickled devil ginger and so on.

Fishermen eat goods, and they are used to eating Chinese breakfast with him. They have a special preference for devil ginger and salted duck eggs. They eat too much greasy and like this light and delicious breakfast.

But the fishermen won't be fooled. They gobble up when they eat. Finally, someone even put a few pieces of devil ginger in the bread and ran to work. It seems that the bet of salary increase has moved them.

Qin Shiou followed him to help. He also learned how Canadians build houses.

The foundation is a layer of cement ground. Shaq led people to make neat division on it with spray paint. According to the design drawings, several rooms are divided, which is the garage, which is the living room, which is the bedroom, which is the kitchen and which is the Health Bureau.

After he divided it here, someone immediately hit cement nails with a nail gun and nailed wooden squares on it. Then someone found the load-bearing wall and started the crane to pull up the thick and strong wooden boards. There are high columns on both sides as wall columns to divide several rooms.

In this way, with the construction of the load-bearing wall and the planning of wooden squares, the wide foundation is quickly covered, and it has become a big wooden cage.
