Chapter 141 Installing wooden windows and raising gables

Han Cheng is directing people to install windows.

Nowadays, there are no such things as electric hammers and expansion screws, and if you want the doors and windows to be strong, you need to install the doors and windows when you build a house.

The bottom of the window is not high, only one meter two from the ground, this is the size that Han Cheng chose after some thinking and comparison, after all, the people of the Qingque tribe are generally low, and the window does not need to be too high.

The front wall stopped after reaching a height of one meter two.

Wait until the limp has finished the two windows before proceeding.

It is said that it is easy to install windows.

Lame and another person put the window that looked a little loose on the front wall of the wooden raft that had been hooped, Han Cheng looked at the crooked right from a distance, and then gave an order, and the senior brother who was preparing on the side went down with a few ashes, and pressed the two ends of the deliberately long wooden frame under the window.

After the wooden window was secured, pockets of wet soil began to pour into the middle of the wooden rafts, and as the soil increased and the loose soil was tamped, the wooden window was firmly embedded in the wall.

In order to avoid tamping the walls on both sides of the window when the soil squeezes over and blocks the window, it is necessary to put a few wooden pillars split in the middle on the left and right sides of the wooden window in advance.

The circle faces the mud wall, and the plane faces the inside of the window.

In this way, it can not only block the dirt from coming, but also add aesthetics, so that the wooden window looks like there is no shortage of four frames.

The same is true for the door, you need to prepare in advance, but at this time do not install the door leaf, just build the door frame and the wall together, the door leaf and the door frame are not very connected, and after the house is built, it is not too late to make and install the door leaf.

After the foundation and the one-meter-high stone wall below were completed, the simple rammed earth wall was carried out quickly, and within a few days, it was 'leveled'.

The so-called flat stack means that the wall has reached a predetermined height.

The wall is not too high, only two meters high, Han Cheng is not building a blue brick house, such a height is already very good.

Although the house made this time is very different from the deer pen, there are still many similarities.

The elder brother looked at the deer pen, and then at the house, and thought that the next thing Miko was going to do was to continue to raise the front wall, and then make a roof that sloped to the back with wooden beams, rafters, and gratings like a deer pen.

As the great divine son of the Qingque tribe who didn't believe in God, how could Han Cheng let them guess their routine?

He did not have the front wall continue to be raised, but the 'gables' on both sides were raised.

The side wall is called a gable because it is topped by a triangle that looks like an abstract mountain.

In this process, the tape measure and ruler that Han Cheng had made before came in handy.

After all, you need to build four 'house mountains' in a row, and if you don't have a ruler, you want to build them all about the same height, but it's a bit troublesome.

After Han Cheng said what he was going to do next, those who had guessed in advance from the Blue Sparrow Tribe once again felt the wisdom and unfathomability of the Divine Son.

Then, under the guidance of Miko, he began to raise 'Yayama'

The triangular 'Yashan' is more difficult to do than the straight wall, but it is not impossible to overcome, under the command of Han Cheng, under the hard work of the senior brother and others, the four 'Yashan' with the same height and roughly similar shape have gradually come out.

It is said to be a triangle, but in fact, this triangle is not very complete, mainly on the two sides above, two small platforms with a length of 30 centimeters appear.

These two small platforms divide the edges evenly into three sections.

In addition to this small platform, the top of the triangle is also flat, and it is also a small platform of 30 centimeters.

Of course, these small platforms are not deliberately flowing out of the beauty of the ring 'Wushan', but are used to prepare for the next step and put wooden beams.

The people of the Qingque tribe are now putting wooden beams on the roof of the house, and the wooden beams are burned off, and then they are repaired with stone axes and stone knives.

Except for the one beam on the ridge that is high and straight, it doesn't hurt to bend the rest of the beams, which reduces a lot of difficulty.

"One-two!"

"One-two!"

The senior brother shouted the trumpet he learned from the Divine Son, stood on the shelf, and pulled the rope in his hand with the third senior brother.

The other end of the rope is tied to the bottom end of a beam.

The beams are erected on the west wall, leaning against the shelves on the side of the west wall.

With the strength of the three elder brothers, the end of the beam against the ground began to leave the ground, and the mourner on the inner shelf of the west wall held the wooden beam against the shelf with his hand to prevent it from toppling over.

Because the wooden beams were to be erected on the gable, they were wider than the room, and the shelves on each side of the house were now half a meter wide, which shortened the width of the room even more.

With the pulling of the senior brothers, the end of the wooden beam gradually rose and became straight, and the end of the wooden beam also ran under the shelf.

At this time, there was another person standing on the other side, and they held one end of the wooden beam leaning on the shelf and began to pull it out to their side, and with their movements, the other end of the wooden beam came out from under the shelf under the feet of the senior brother and the others.

The wooden beams that were pulled up, with the joint efforts of the people on both sides, were erected on a small platform set aside in advance on the gable.

Because the thickness of the two ends of the wooden beam is not the same, it must be adjusted after the wooden beam is erected, and some small stone flakes and pottery shards are placed under the thin section.

The first is to adjust the height and make the wooden beams flat, and the other is to increase the firmness.

Because the beams were too long to go up, and the kind that was long enough was hard to find, the beams were all truncated, and a total of fifteen were needed for three houses.

In addition to the platforms on the easternmost and westernmost walls, two wooden beams were erected on the platforms of the two gables in the middle.

In order to prevent the wooden beam on the side from falling off the platform, it is necessary to tie them together with ropes.

Another point to note is that the wooden beams erected on the easternmost two exterior walls are not directly aligned with the outside of the exterior wall, but go ten centimeters to the inside.

When the time is completed when the house is built, the vacated hole is pasted with mud, so that the wooden beams are not visible from the outside, so that the wooden beams are protected from the wind and sun, and do not rot and grow mushrooms.

After the wooden beams were built, the next step was to tie rafters to them and lay the fences, just like when they made the deer ring.

Zhazi's business was not done by a limp, he was almost too busy, but by two women in the tribe who were not too strong.

Fortunately, the grid is not too complicated, they have not seen a lame before, and now they have a lame teaching on the side, and they have learned it, and the grate made is not bad.
