- ?
After the trip to Leshan, I returned to my hometown with everyone.
?My parents have also returned, and the business in Leshan has not been very good recently, so I took this opportunity to come back to do some errands.
"Mom, how long will you come back to play?" To be honest, I was very happy knowing that my parents would stay at home for a few days.
"Let's see the situation, we'll go out when it's almost done"
"What are you doing?" I wondered.
"Repairing the fence, repairing the flower beds, and re-creating the concrete of the courtyard dam" seems to be a big project, although I don't know why it happened so suddenly.
"Why do you need to repair it now? Can't it be later?" I wondered.
"Now this fence is not safe, and thieves are so fierce now, what if the chickens and ducks are caught? And this yard is not convenient, it is very slippery when it rains, your grandparents are getting older, in case it rains It's down, what should I do?"
That's right, what I said makes sense, so the first big change that belongs to my family has officially kicked off!
After the fences were removed one after another, the chickens and ducks were temporarily surrounded behind the house.
And there are many people who repaired our yard, only the second master is two. There is also the old man from the next door village, and a few people I know but can't name.
When the fence was removed, I thought that the courtyard wall would be built on the original foundation, but unexpectedly, it was expanded a little further, and the entire creek was enclosed in the house.
First, a deep small ditch was dug beside the ditch, and then stones were piled on the bottom, and then concrete mixed with small stones was poured on top, and the foundation was considered ready.
On top of the concrete is the red brick wall. It was directly repaired to a height of two meters and two! This height is considered to be the tallest in the neighbor's house.
After the red brick wall was built, the surface of the wall was covered with sand, one for aesthetics, and the other for smooth surface to prevent thieves from climbing.
The gate is an exaggeration. The top of the entire gate is pure cast-in-place. It took a lot of bags of cement just to make the top of the gate! Grandpa has been distressed for a long time!
After the wall was repaired, an iron gate was specially ordered in Chongniang Temple, 600 yuan! Pure iron! The kind that won't break in ten years!
As for the creek that came in, it was covered by prefabricated panels one by one. Grandpa said that if it is covered, the pigsty can be continued to be built on it, otherwise it is useless to leave a creek, like after the water dries up in winter , It's useless to encircle the brook.
And it's not safe, you can come in directly from the bridge hole outside the fence.
It's different to cover the prefabricated slabs, even if they get in through the hole, they are still covered by the prefabricated slabs. It is impossible to lift the prefabricated slabs by manpower alone!
Safety!
The well that has been used for many years has lost its luster today.
It is not easy to dig a well, and this can be regarded as a legacy left by the ancestors. So in the end just got a slate to cover it and didn't fill it in.
Behind the kitchen, where the jujube tree was cut down, a 16-meter-deep steel pipe well was dug, and a bathroom and water tower were repaired. In the future, all water will be used from here.
Think about the experience of helping grandpa carry water before, I still remember it vividly!
The times have to progress. With steel pipe wells, water at home is much more convenient. No more running so far to fetch water! Just turn on the switch, and the entire water tower can be pumped in a few minutes, and the water in the water tower can be used for several days.
With the water tower and the water pipes connected, the water tanks at home are also eliminated. Two water tanks, one large and one small, were replaced, and the sink was repaired.
Grandma was reluctant to throw away the two crocks, and put them in the utility room to temporarily store pig feed.
On both sides of the gate, flower stones are used to sit on the base, covered with red bricks, covered with cement, and tiled on the sides, and it becomes a flower platform. Although there are no flowers planted on the flower bed yet, only chickens, ducks and chicken droppings.
But there is really nothing to say about the craftsmanship of the second master! Between the flowers and rocks in the flower bed, the gaps are uniform and the scale is the same. From a distance, it is simply a handicraft!
And the first plant that entered the flower bed was not a flower, but a plum tree that my mother dug back from my aunt. Plum trees that are still in the development stage, do you know if they will be able to bloom and bear fruit in the coming year?
Between the flower terrace and the house is the entire courtyard dam. The previous courtyard dam became potholed after long-term rain erosion, and on a rainy day, it was easy to grow covered with moss, which made people worry about slipping at first glance.
Now that it is going to be rebuilt, it is necessary to smash all the original ones, and then lay a new layer of concrete on top.
?In order to ensure the quality, Grandpa reluctantly spent all his money, and poured the cement on the ground as if he didn¡¯t need money, and directly followed the highest standard that the second master said.?? making it!
This yard can be said to be the most time-consuming job!
It took more than a day just to knock down the original base layer.
Take the steel bar, smash the original one bit by bit, and then knock it open.
There is a little advantage in doing livelihood in the countryside. If the owner can do it himself, he can do it himself. The master worker specializes in technical work, which is not only more efficient, but also less costly.
Do not throw away the broken concrete blocks. I want to smash it all up and use it as the bottom layer to fill in the yard, so I have one more thing to do.
Together with grandma and mother, holding a small hammer, they smashed the concrete blocks bit by bit.
A fist-sized block of concrete looks easy, but when the hammer hits it, you know that this coolie is really hard!
With a hammer down, the concrete block may be split in half directly, and some are basically motionless!
After continuous impacts, it is possible to smash a slightly larger piece into smaller pieces.
And the arm also became sore because of continuously moving the hammer. At this time, it was time to test the endurance.
There is not much benefit in smashing violently, at most it will smash a piece or two quickly. And here is the size of a courtyard dam!
So grandma and mother took their time and smashed gently, and I realized my mistake.
Poor my arm is already so sore
In 2 days, the entire courtyard dam was basically broken again, and I stood on the edge of the courtyard dam early.
The second master and the first master poured the concrete on the courtyard dam one by one (the bucket truck, which looks the same as Tianzi No. 1), and started the paving of the surface.
After paving the concrete and scraping the surface with a mud baton, leave the rest to time!
There are also skills when scraping concrete floors. I don¡¯t know exactly how to do it. I only know that the kitchen is the highest place, then the living room, the utility room, and finally the pigsty, the drainage ditch at the backthe concrete floor is gradually lowered in height.
In this way, when it rains, the rainwater can be quickly patted away without water accumulation, which also solves the reason why moss is easy to grow.
Within a day, not only people, but all creatures should not step on this concrete floor, otherwise ruthless footprints will be left on it. cannot be erased.
In just a few days, my home has taken on a new look. It is not only beautiful, but also safer, and it can also grow flowers. This may be the most perfect home right now.
