Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

I told Liu Dong and Liu Xi about the decoration requirements.

There are no weeds in the yard now, I will pave a small stone path from the gate to the main gate, so that it will not be too muddy when it rains.

The gate was replaced with a new one. The original wooden gate was rotten, creaking and dilapidated. It had to be replaced with a new one, but it didn’t need to be very expensive. Strong wood would do.

There is no need to make major changes inside the house. There used to be two houses for east and west, and both houses have a kang. It is still the same now, but the kang needs to be rebuilt, and it will be enlarged by the way.

The pot and stove can still be used, just repair it.

The roof is a big project. It needs to be replaced with new dry and thick hay, and then tiles are laid. That’s about it.

The windows should also be replaced with new ones, repainted, and new oiled paper.

The thatched shed needs to be reinforced and built with stones, and a step [-] cm above the ground is built to prevent moisture.

Toilets are to be fixed too.

In the end, the whole family needs to paint new gray, so that the white walls will look good.

Liu Dong and Liu Xi said that this is already a huge project and it will cost a lot of money.

Let's do the math, basically all the wages have to go in, mainly the money for selling tiles and materials, Ah Xi!

No matter what, the decoration can't be fooled, let's pretend!
