Building a wooden house is a meticulous and rewarding process that requires patience and skill. The man, determined to construct his cozy wooden home, starts by refining the structure. With a sharp axe in hand, he carefully trims away any excess wood from the log walls, ensuring a smooth and solid finish. Once satisfied with the walls, he moves on to the flooring.
Beneath the foundation, he meticulously arranges small, evenly sized wooden planks, securing them firmly with nails. These planks form a stable base, upon which he places a large wooden board. To reinforce the surface, he lays a fine mesh over the board, preparing it for the next step. He then pours a layer of liquid mortar over the mesh, spreading it evenly to create a firm foundation. After some time, as the mortar begins to set, he smooths the surface with a trowel, ensuring it is level and ready for the next layer.
With great precision, he carefully places uniform floor tiles onto the semi-dry mortar, pressing them into place one by one. This process requires patience, but after a while, the tiled floor is completed, adding both beauty and durability to the house. Moving forward, he gathers stones of varying sizes and arranges them on the newly tiled floor. Using mortar, he fixes the stones into place, skillfully constructing the base of a small, charming kitchen. As the mortar sets, he takes a break, preparing for the next steps.
While waiting for the mortar to dry, he steps outside, gathering a small pile of firewood near the wooden cabin. At the same time, he takes the opportunity to paint the wooden doors, adding a protective layer that enhances their durability. Once the mortar has fully dried, he carefully removes any unnecessary elements from the kitchen structure, refining its appearance.
Next, he ventures into the forest with his axe, tapping trees to collect fresh water from their trunks. Along the way, he chops additional logs, which he will later use for construction and heating. Returning home, he ensures the windows are securely fastened, using wooden planks to reinforce them against the elements.
The final touch to the kitchen is the installation of a sturdy iron stove frame. He carefully places it onto the pre-built stone base, making sure it fits perfectly. With this final step, the kitchen is complete and ready for use. To celebrate his progress, he retrieves a piece of meat, preparing it for smoking over the newly built stove. The rich aroma of smoked meat fills the air as he enjoys a well-earned meal, savoring the fruits of his labor.
With renewed energy, he turns his attention back to the unfinished parts of the house, ready to continue his work. Though much has been accomplished, there is still more to be done before his wooden home is fully complete. Step by step, with skill and determination, he builds a warm and inviting home, a testament to his dedication and craftsmanship.
