Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 822, Decoration

"The back-seat room in the front will be used as a kitchen. The stove will be installed and the running water will be directed there. In addition, I will use the back-seat room in the backyard as a bathroom and will also be directed there." Jiang Yan said, "In addition, I Plan to build a toilet at the front and back.”

"Toilet?" Captain Li raised an eyebrow, "This dry toilet is in your own yard. Can you stand the smell?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to build a septic tank, but the wastewater needs to be introduced into the sewer!" Jiang Yan said.

"Going into the water, I'm afraid this won't work. It's easy for you to block the water." Captain Li shook his head.

"It seems that you don't understand the function of the septic tank. Let me tell you!" Jiang Yan squatted down, picked up a stone, and drew it on the ground. "This septic tank does not cover a large area, and it goes to Digging down.”

"The toilet is flushed, and the dirty stuff is flushed down. It enters the first pool and stops here. It all settles here, and a pipe is connected to it. When there is too much stuff in it, the wastewater enters the second pool and settles again. Then we entered a third pool, which was basically filled with waste water and nothing else. Therefore, every time we dispose of waste, we just need to clean the first pool."

"This method is good, just do it every few years." Captain Li was very impressed with Jiang Yan's idea.

"Yes, in addition, I want to design other houses like this." Jiang Yan then took out a piece of paper and drew his ideas on it.

"My boss, if we repair it like you do, the cost will be high and the time will be relatively long." Captain Liu looked at it and said.

"You can get it, but the price is high." Captain Li nodded.

"Yes, I will come with you tomorrow, but I won't be here for long every day. Your lunch at noon will be at Master He's Hotel over there at the Grand Trial. That is our own hotel. I will explain it to them when the time comes. You have to eat well. "I have basically made arrangements for my transfer. Now I am just waiting for the transfer order to come. Now the college entrance examination is scheduled for June, so Jiang Yan reported that it is also scheduled for September, so this time Jiang Yan still has time for a while.

"Okay, I'll bring someone over tomorrow to dismantle it first. Do you have time?" Captain Li asked.

"By the way, can you get tiles here?" Jiang Yan asked.

"Sure, I will use it more by then, such as the kitchen and bathroom. They need to be waterproof and have skylights." Jiang Yan briefly explained his plan, letting Captain Li know what he was planning. .

"It doesn't matter. If the time is long, the time will be longer. If it doesn't matter, I won't be in a hurry. It's not about slow work and careful work. You just need to work hard." Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.

"No problem!" Captain Li then made an appointment with Jiang Yan before leaving.

Starting from the next day, Jiang Yan would go directly to the front gate after eating every morning.

The first is demolition. All these haphazardly built houses are demolished. The red bricks removed can be used in kitchens and bathrooms, which saves the need to buy them again. After cleaning up, it’s time to move on to the roof. This is the key point. Take off all the tiles and clean them. Clean up all the dust on them, and then look at the beams above. After cleaning, repaint and replace if damaged. If you want to modernize, you will have to wait for ten or twenty years, so Jiang Yan paid special attention to the decoration this time. He followed every place carefully and stopped from time to time to consult with Captain Li when he had time. idea.

The three large rooms in the main courtyard need to be added with four footings. This time, there will be no fully enclosed partitions. The main purpose is to increase the load-bearing and aesthetics. Two more footings will be added to the inverted room and the back room. The beams and walls are damaged. The place has to be re-bricked.

The interior of the room is painted with half-wall paint, mainly to avoid getting dirty, and briquettes are still burned now. Paint half-wall paint to make it easier to take care of. All doors and windows are replaced with double-glazed glass, that is, two pieces of glass are stacked together. Doors, windows, and columns are all Repaint.

A toilet was built at the front and rear respectively. The back room was directly converted into a bathroom, and a bathtub was built and inlaid with ceramic tiles. The front room was converted into a kitchen and was also inlaid with ceramic tiles for easy maintenance.

The floors in all aspects have been re-leveled, and the furniture is made in retro style. The main room is the layout of the bedroom, living room, and study.

Although the amount of the project is not small, it is actually not much work. It only lasts about a month. Because there is nothing too complicated, Jiang Yan then comes over every day to open the doors and windows to let the air out. It will take at least two months before people can live in it. .

After more than three months of repairs, my house is finally ready. There are two more small rooms in the southwest corner of the yard. The rest of the appearance does not really seem to have changed much. It remains as old as it was and can basically be restored as it is. . Jiang Yan, accompanied by Captain Liu, walked into the main room first.

Walking into the main house, if you weren't familiar with it before, you would really think you were walking into a standard two-story building. On the first floor, against the west wall, is the wooden staircase leading up to the second floor. The wood of the staircase is fir, and the support underneath is made of beech wood. Except for the space occupied by the stairs and the middle room, a large living room is formed. According to Captain Liu, a Western-style modular sofa can be placed.

The east room is divided into two rooms using supporting wooden pillars as the skeleton. The south room is slightly larger and can be used as a bedroom. The north room is smaller and can be used as a study room. The original house had windows. Liu The captain replaced all the components of the window with new ones, and the newly installed glass looked even brighter.

The floor is made of city wall bricks, the bricks used to build ancient city walls. These bricks are not small, not very hard, and can be polished. Yunfei's main house was laid after being polished, so the ground was really smooth, although not smooth, but it was very comfortable under the feet and the color was relatively uniform. The fireplace is installed on the west side of the back wall. There are porcelain paintings posted next to the fireplace, which were only popular during the Republic of China. The colors are very bright. Yunfei didn't expect such products to exist in this era.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, the floor height of the second floor is a little lower than the first floor, also two meters, but because it is a standard ridged structure, it does not feel short or depressing. According to Jiang Yan's opinion, the upstairs was installed into two bedrooms facing the south, and a smaller room was built in the northeast that could be used as a storage room. The three rooms were arranged in an L shape, and there was still room left at the entrance of the stairs. Not a small space.

After walking out of the main room, I looked at the east and west wing rooms. They have been divided into three rooms, but they are all empty now and need to be gradually added with furniture.

There are two newly built small rooms on the south side, and the one on the north side is the kitchen, which is more than a dozen square meters. The stove has been repaired inside, and the entire kitchen is covered with white tiles to the top, and the water pipes are laid and completed. sink.

Looking at the toilet on the south side, the first thing you see is that the bathroom is rectangular, with a two-meter small pool. There is a toilet on the south wall. The toilet water pipeline extends along the wall to the kitchen. There is a toilet on the wall north of the pool. A large iron bucket is placed on the wooden frame. The water inlet pipe of the iron bucket is connected from the kitchen faucet. Now there is no need to worry about freezing in winter.

Stopping along the way, it took more than ten minutes to look at his house in general. At this stage, it can be said that he has done his best. After looking at everything, Jiang Yan felt very satisfied, but the price was also quite satisfactory. , after this guy completed the repair, it cost almost more than a thousand yuan. It would be really difficult to do this if you don’t have some foundation.
