One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-Eight. All Staff Moved Out

The maintenance of the roof is the most important thing, and the whole morning is spent on it, from seven o'clock to twelve o'clock.

Weir came down to start work with his hands. After Qin Shiou came down, he walked over and smiled and said, "Hey, Mr. Monopoly, why did you come to work in person? Did you come to experience the suffering of the people?"

Qin Shiou punched him and said, "Don't be so weird, buddy, you know I'm a good hand at work."

Weir said: "Actually, you don't need to work. I just ask a few guys to help you deal with it. I'm an expert in this area-of course, it's free. Who made us good guys?"

Qin Shiou shook his head regretfully, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Now that the boys and I are doing it, it doesn't matter to me, the boys don't agree."

Weir turned his head to look at the children who were wiping each other with white mud in their hands, and asked, "Aren't you kidding me? Are these guys working?"

Weiss and Little Shaq wrestled with each other, the masks went to nowhere, their faces and hair were covered with white mud and dust, Gordon and Krakenson were shouting for cheers; Shirley pinched the pony with white mud , Michelle ran to the cold drink cabin to make drinks, and only Powell worked honestly there.

Qin Shiou went up and lifted the ears to separate the two, Weiss stretched out his middle finger, Little Shaq yelled strangely and wanted to pounce on him again, he had to take out his big killer: "Whoever is messing around, then deduct fifty yuan!"

A group of children were honest immediately, earning only seventy-five yuan in one morning.

Lunch is very simple. Qin's father and Qin's mother prepared a serving of pork ribs, rice and fried fish. They are all enough. Everyone can eat as much as they want. Dinner is at night.

This is a Canadian habit, they don't pay much attention to lunch, just eat a little. Then wait until evening for a big meal.

Weir rubbed two big bowls of pork ribs rice, and he ate the ribs and exclaimed: "Qin, I found that everything here is delicious. The taste of this lamb chops is simply amazing, and it's still stewed. I want it to be It tastes better when grilled."

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "The main reason is that it doesn't cost money to eat here. If you spend money, you won't think it's so beautiful."

The mutton tasted really good, because today the fishermen helped repair the house, and the Georges and his wife also came. Qin Shiou wanted to have a big dinner at night, so he killed a sheep.

The body of this sheep also contains sea god energy. The quality of the meat has improved a lot and the taste is extraordinary.

In the afternoon, the boiler, heating pipes and central air conditioner will be repaired,

This needs to be overhauled every year. In the past, Qin Shiou paid someone to do it, and the total cost was about 500 Canadian dollars. Today, he can do it himself.

The boilers in the villas are dual-purpose oil and gas, and can burn natural gas or oil. Since the current price of natural gas is much lower than that of oil, the villa burns natural gas.

Boilers are essential electrical appliances in Canadian homes for heating. It is equivalent to independent heating, which is much more powerful than air conditioners, and more affordable than air conditioners. Canadian winters are too cold. Air-conditioning alone cannot generate heat, and requires air-conditioning, a boiler, and a fireplace to work together.

This set of boilers is also left over from the past. It is an old-fashioned vertical boiler. Now a gas-fired wall-mounted boiler is most commonly used. The boiler heats water, and then the water pump is pressurized to form a hot water cycle to complete the heating process.

When the temperature rises in spring, the boiler will not be used, only the air conditioner will do. Shaq turned on the boiler and checked it. Shaking his head, he said, "It can't be done, just replace it. The water pressure pump is already rotten, and it may burst if you continue to use it."

Qin Shiou went to look behind. It was found that the boiler was indeed aging badly, not only the water pressure pump was faulty, but also the thermostat and water separator were very aging, so I asked someone to contact the boiler manufacturer to replace the whole set.

"Replacing a complete set of boilers is quite troublesome." George looked at it and said, "The underground coils and radiators all have to be replaced. I said Qin, you are bold enough. These things have to be replaced every ten years. How long have you been here?"

How did Qin Shiou know? He asked Auerbach, who thought for a while and said, "This was just changed before my father died, so it was only fifteen or sixteen years ago?"

After hearing this, Qin Shiou himself was afraid, but in this way, the underground coil does not need to be replaced, and this thing can be used for fifty years.

Auerbach said regretfully: "It's better to replace it. Unfortunately, as far as I know, the underground coil has not been replaced since the villa was built. It must have been working for sixty years, right? The man who built the villa I was a little kid back then."

Qin Shiou had no choice but to smile wryly, "I might as well build a villa again."

Now it is really troublesome. To replace the underground coil, the floor of the villa has to be uncovered, which is equivalent to rebuilding the floor.

But that's okay, the floor should be replaced anyway.

The installation of the boiler heating system is very complicated and time-consuming. The plumbing company sent someone to check the situation on the same day, and then told Qin Shiou: "You have to return this set of equipment. We need to lay the water coil and control lines first, and then we can Install the water separator and boiler, and finally install the thermostat and debug the system. ”

"About how long?" Qin Shiou asked with a headache.

The engineer calculated: "Your villa is too big, and it will take a long time. It takes about four days to lay the pipeline, four days to install the boiler, and one day to debug. This does not include the time spent on the front and back processes. , at least ten days."

Qin Shiou said helplessly: "The fastest, don't think about money, how long can it be the fastest?"

Once the floor was removed, the villa would be unlivable, and he had to move out.

The engineer touched his nose and said, "If you don't care about the money, the staff will be doubled and the time will be halved, about five days..."

"Faster, quadruple the number of people!" Qin Shiou put on an attitude that he is not short of money.

The engineer looked at him amusedly and said, "Sir, it's not as simple as one plus one equals two. If there are more people, the efficiency will decrease instead. If I let all the employees of the company speed up, it can be done in four days."

In Canada, as long as it involves repairing pipes and replacing pipes, it is more fucked, and the maintenance costs related to pipes are relatively high.

Moreover, inspectors and maintenance personnel are billed by time, the time is counted from the time he leaves the office, and the time he spends in traffic jams on the road is also included. However, work such as replacing pipes requires licensed professionals to do it, otherwise even if individuals can do it, it is prohibited by law.

Of course, in order to save money, as long as it's not a big problem, Canadians will still do it themselves, just don't get into trouble. But once something happens, it's over, because it's against the law, the insurance will not be responsible, and you have to be responsible for all expenses.

The boiler needed to be replaced, so Qin Shiou went to see the central air conditioner, if it didn't work, it had to be replaced as well. (To be continued.)
