Golden Fishery

Vol 2 Chapter 1557: .Maintain the roof

  Qin Shiou initially thought who was coming, but there was no warning on the sea and no visitors on land. Later, when he watched the tiger and leopard dressed up and shouted at their work clothes, he realized that the little guy was also going to change into a suit.

  He explained a few words that this was for work. Tiger Leopard bit one of his trouser legs, so he had to change into that suit of body armor.

  Qin Shiou was mad, body armor is heavy, and not very ventilated. I don’t understand why the two little guys like to wear it so much. He is not a stinky person. Who did those little guys learn so stinky from?

   Helpless, he had no choice but to talk about it, so he had to take out the dog's body armor and put on them.

  After changing, the two little guys became happy, and then followed Qin Shiou slowly, as if showing off their clothes of the same color.

  George and Vivian were amused. They took out their phones and took photos with the tigers and leopards. Larawang also cooperated very well. They had a good impression of the camera.

  Qin Shiou beckoned, indicating that everyone should start work.

  George instructed the teenagers to mix detergent with warm water and wipe the tiles on the exterior wall from the doorway to both sides.

  Wind and rain, the original milky white tiles have become dim yellowish or greenish green because they are covered with moss. The moss can be wiped off, but the changing color cannot be wiped off.

  The villa is full of the vicissitudes of the times. George said with emotion: “This house is at least half a century old. My father’s cottage in the country was built in this style. Time flies so fast.”

  The whole house is made of wood. The wood in some places has decayed, and Qin Shiou needs to replace it. Or use a sawdust gun to hit the sawdust inside to fill it, and finally use glue to seal it, and then apply a layer of paint, which is very complicated.

  For this kind of old house. It costs a lot of money to repair, and the key is to waste time. For the rich, it is better to build a new one.

  Qin Shiou is used to living here. I don't think it is necessary to change the house. Moreover, the villa needs to be repaired only on the corners and corners. The overall view is very good. For example, the solid wood stairs in the house are particularly strong. After decades of use, there is no creaking sound when stepping on it. Rock.

  Canadian houses, especially country houses, are mainly made of wood, unlike the domestic use of concrete and bricks. There is a lot of local wood, and the cost of using wood to build houses is also low.

  For example, in Farewell Town, the trees on the island belong to the government, but if anyone wants to build a house, just apply for it, and you can buy wood on a piece of land at a very low price.

  In this way, even if a new house is built, it is still made of wood. Maintenance is still needed, and the cost of maintenance is not low. You have to spend about 2% of the money for repairs every year.

  The jobs that the teenagers have to do are the simplest and non-dangerous ones. They mainly rely on Qin Shiou and the fishermen to wipe the floor, wipe the windows and doors, and weed the weeds.

Shaq introduced to Qin Shiou: "The most important thing to repair the house is the roof. The farewell island is rainy and snowy, and there are often strong winds, so the damage to the roof is the most. We will go up and see the aging of the roof in the first two years. The snow disaster is estimated to have caused damage."

  Build up the ladder. Several people strapped their seat belts. Then on the roof of the villa.

  In the first year, several warehouses in Daqin Fishery were destroyed due to wind and snow. Shaq and sea monsters helped to repair them, and the villas were okay. The materials used are more sophisticated, and professional anti-corrosion is done. Stronger resistance to rain and snow.

When I got on the roof, I found that the roof of the villa was made of layers of wooden boards. Some of them had broken into several layers. Although some looked intact, they would become fragments when touched by a hand, and they were aging. .

  There should be no problems with the roof of this kind of villa, otherwise it will easily cause more damage to the house. For example, once the rain leaks, it will obviously corrode the walls, because the walls of the villa are also wood, so it is not as simple as mold or even rot.

  If the roof insulation is not good enough, the air conditioner in the house will be turned on for nothing in winter, and the temperature will not rise. Even if the air conditioner is turned on 24 hours a day, it is useless.

In Canada, the roofs of wooden houses need to be repaired every 5 years. This repair is a major repair, and many things have to be replaced. Canada is sparsely populated. Except for the city center, most people live in small villas. It costs four to five thousand Canadian dollars, and the average person’s monthly salary is gone.

  In addition, the roof has to be replaced every 25 years, so the price is more expensive, not tens of thousands of Canadian dollars can not afford it.

  Qin Shiou discussed with Shake and the others: "Would you like to have an overhaul and replace them with modern glazed tiles?"

Shaq shook his head and said: "Don't change it, BOSS, glazed tiles look good, but they are too heavy and will cause a lot of burden on the walls of the house. Moreover, the wind and heavy snow on the island, coupled with the pressure of the glazed tiles, will make the house more burdensome, so use The planks are good."

  Old man Qin was very careful, and the roof timber was Hemlock at that time.

Tieshan is the most elegant and versatile tree species on the North American market. It is slightly lower in strength than Ponderosa pine and is more suitable for anti-corrosion treatment. After pressure anti-corrosion treatment, it is beautiful and strong, comparable to the natural and durable North American red cedar. .

  Hemwood is very suitable for roofing because it has great stability, small coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction, and resistance to sunburn. It is common knowledge that almost all wood will turn black after long-term sun exposure, but hemlock can maintain the color when it is newly sawn after being exposed to the sun all year round, and the roof is very beautiful.

  These hemlocks have been treated, and there is a layer of transparent paint on the outside, which is a mixture of anti-corrosion paint and reinforced paint, which can not only enhance the anti-corrosion performance of the wood, but also increase its strength.

  This is also one of the advantages of hemlock. They have excellent adhesion properties and can accept various surface coatings.

  The roof has several layers. After Qin Shiou repaired it with hemlock, he added another layer of charred wood.

  Nowadays, even if the roofs of country houses use wood planks, they generally don’t use hemlock, but instead use carbonized wood.

  Carbonized wood is made by applying high temperature to homogenous carbonization of wood. It does not need to use chemical agents. Its ability comes from itself, so it has more stable anti-corrosion and resistance to external forces.

  Moreover, the surface of the carbonized wood has a dark brown color, which seems to be able to absorb sunlight and is very beautiful.

Carbonized wood has low moisture content, not easy to absorb water, stable material, non-deformation, good heat insulation performance, simple construction, convenient painting, no special smell, and anti-corrosion, resistance to insects, deformation and cracking. It is simply excellent for external use. Choose.

  In addition, it has another advantage of light weight, because it has been carbonized, it is completely degreased and does not spill, the quality is lower, and the pressure on the walls and wooden beams of the house is also less. (To be continued~^~)
