Chapter 202 Fire Wall and Drainage System

With a heating system like a firewall, you can spend this winter comfortably. Otherwise, just burning firewood for heating in a sealed room will not be good for your health in winter.

Since we are about to build a new house, it is only necessary to improve the drainage system and heating system, so that the whole family can live comfortably.

Old Fangtou and Old Chu praised repeatedly, and the more they listened, the more excited they became. Why had they never thought of such a method? In this way, in winter, even if there was heavy snow outside, the house would be as warm as in summer.

"This idea is so ingenious and novel. This is the first time I have heard of it!"

"It's just right, and the drawings are very detailed, so it's not difficult to make!"

"What are these gaps in between? What is this?"

Jiang Yan is not a professional designer, and her drawings are very sloppy, but fortunately there are two masters of painting at home, especially Qiao Le, who is very skilled in painting. He can basically draw the ideas expressed by Jiang Yan.

come out.

The two of them pointed at areas they didn't understand and asked for advice without being ashamed to ask questions. They were full of curiosity about these unknown things and eagerly hoped that Jiang Yan could explain them to them.

Jiang Yan also explained patiently: "This is the interval inside the fire wall, which can better retain the temperature for a longer time. This is the drainage system of the entire house. Each bedroom needs to be designed with an independent bathroom. Here is a separate bathroom."

Toilets and bathrooms are for the use of the servants."

Each room is designed with a fire wall. There are spaces in the wall, and the spaces are regular. In this way, the hot smoke from the stove will flow along the route separated by the fire wall, and finally be discharged from the chimney at the end.

The process will be much slower, the temperature will last longer and the room will be warmer.

As for the drainage system, Jiang Yan plans to set up a simple bathroom with separate dry and wet areas in each room. The rooms on the second floor will be equipped with toilets, and the rooms on the first floor will be equipped with squatting pits.

In this era, there was no such thing as sewers. The toilets built by wealthy families were all for the use of the servants. They used toilet buckets, which were then carried out by servants and handled by people who specialized in pouring night fragrance.

Jiang Yan didn't want to have to have someone help her empty the toilet after going to the toilet. She was too embarrassed to bother others, and she didn't want to do it herself, so she simply designed a simple drainage system from the beginning.

Dig two large pools in the back hill, one to hold household sewage, and the other to be a cesspool. There are no such things as water pipe plastics in this world, and Jiang Yan can't buy them directly from the mall.

So the plan she designed is very simple. All the toilets on the first floor have sewers dug underground. The second and third floors can be connected directly with stone pipes, so that the water can flow directly to the cesspool behind the mountain. She is worried that the stone pipes will not last long or will leak.

, Jiang Yan also plans to buy suitable pipes from the mall and build them secretly.

If that doesn't work, you can buy some anti-leakage paint from the mall and paint it on.

Moreover, she also designed a water system. The toilets on the second and third floors were troublesome to use and could not be carried up and down manually every time, so a room was left at the end of each floor as a water room.

A simple human elevator is designed inside, which uses the principles of some lifting devices to greatly reduce manpower. This not only can transport water, but also some heavy objects can be transported upstairs.

"Just separate two rooms on the top floor and leave a large open-air balcony to make it more spacious. I will communicate with you about the details when the time comes."

The floors of houses built in this era were not too high. Although the construction technology was higher than the ancient times Jiang Yan knew, the most common high-rise buildings were about five floors at most. After all, there was no reinforced concrete.

The house Jiang Yan wants to build will only have three floors. She does not plan to leave balconies in the west and east wings, because she only plans to build the main house into a three-story house, and the rest will be two-story as usual.

She plans to decorate the top floor into her own leisure place. Then the children will be divided into the east and west wing rooms. She can plant her favorite flowers and plants on the large balcony on the top floor.

"Aunt Jiang, the project volume of your house is relatively large, and the design is very novel. There are many things that we have never done before, but after listening to your explanation, I feel that it is very convenient. I am bold. If Aunt Jiang can rest assured, we can arrange it for you.

Let’s do it.”

Old Fangtou's eyes were shining brightly. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. After listening to Aunt Jiang's plan today, he seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and had new ideas for many previous constructions.

Lao Chu also hurriedly clasped his fists, with the same excitement on his face: "Me too, Aunt Jiang, this house is so good. Although it has not been built yet, I can already imagine what it will look like after it is built. Although I did not build it

The most luxurious house, but definitely the most comfortable, convenient and innovative house I have ever built.”

The two of them expressed their opinions one after another, hoping to get this big job done. Judging from the drawings and what Jiang Yan said, both of them were confident that they could complete it. They were extremely curious about what this house would look like after it was built.

"The amount of work on this house is not small. Since both of you can take it on, why don't you two take it on together? I believe that Lao Wu and Shopkeeper Fu have a good eye for people, but I also have requirements. Now in September, the days are getting colder.

I want to build the house before the cold winter comes, so the time is tight. I want you to maintain the quality of the project and speed up the time."

"This..." The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes, "Aunt Jiang, our two teams only have thirty-nine people in total. If we want to speed up the time, we will have to recruit more.

Strong labor force."

Construction teams generally have skilled workers who stay on the team, so the number of people will not be too large. If the amount of the project is too large and there are not enough people in their own team, they will recruit other strong laborers from nearby to work together. Jiang Yan naturally understands this.

Know.

"Now that the autumn harvest is over, there are strong laborers everywhere who have free time. Our village will also have some villagers working together. Then you can make your own arrangements. For example, building walls and digging ponds and cesspools are not technical tasks. You can do them.

Give it to the villagers to do."

"You need to arrange the heating system and drainage system yourself. Also, the fence needs to be capped with gravel tiles. My house is built on the back hill, close to the mountain, to prevent wild beasts or thieves from climbing over the wall.

.”

Jiang Yan explained in detail that the actual occupied area of ​​the house is not large, mainly because the designated courtyard pond and vegetable plot in the backyard take up most of the area, especially the back hill, which is mostly empty for planting fruit trees.

"Four rooms have been built in this factory, and more will need to be built at that time. It will also be the same type of room, but a room will need to be built in front."

When there are more factories and the business grows, someone needs to guard the place, so a two-bedroom and one-living room is built as a guard room.
