Chapter 14 - Making a Stilt House

After cutting enough bamboo, Abraham then began to stack it and tie it with bamboo that had been cut into small pieces and then used as a binder.

On the other hand, Abraham then also began to realize the difference in the strength he had, before and now.

Where now, he felt his strength was several times greater than before, for example a bamboo stalk as big as an adult's thigh, he could easily cut it down just by using the occasional slash of the medium-sized sword that he carried.

As for Mary who looked quite slender, it turned out that she also had great strength, where like him she could easily cut bamboo stalks with one blow.

So with the strength possessed by both of them, they collected enough bamboo to bring back.

"Just be one Mary, let me bring them all back together." Abraham said to Mary, when he saw Mary was going to lift the bamboo that had been neatly arranged and tied.

"It's okay, this bamboo is easy enough to carry, not too heavy like other ordinary tree trunks," answered Mary in a relaxed tone, while tying the bamboo stalks consisting of dozens of bamboos.

"Okay, then" helpless with the situation, Abraham quickly accepted the fact that here the orcs did have better strength than humans.

So the two of them then dragged and carried the bamboo they had cut, not forgetting they also brought the roll of vines that they had previously collected.

It took almost half an hour, before they finally returned to the place where Abraham's house would be built.

Now when Abraham returned to his house, he saw clear signs for every corner of the land that the tribe had allocated to him.

On the other hand he also saw Gros seemed to be busy splitting wood to be made into planks.

And when Abraham and Mary returned, both of them immediately attracted the attention of Wall and also Gros.

"Why did you bring the whispering tree?" Wall asked Mary.

Who was in front of Abraham.

"Abraham said that he wanted to use this whispering tree, so I helped him, and one more thing in this human race is called bamboo" Mary answered Wall's question and told him also that another name for the whispering tree was bamboo.

"Ohhh… it's called bamboo in the human race, what a strange name," Wall replied after hearing that.

"Abraham, everything is done, then what else needs to be done?" Gros asked, who had split and separated the wood given to Abraham by the tribe.

"Let's make the foundation first," Abraham replied after he thought about making a stilt house.

The reason was, from what he heard from Mary and Juana that the location of his current house was not good, and tended to be vulnerable to being attacked by wild animals and enemies that might come.

So to minimize this, he thought a stilt house was a good thing, where he could avoid snow in winter, overflowing water during the rainy season, and some wild animals that might come.

"Please make a hole two meters deep at several points that I have marked," Abraham then began to make arrangements, where he chose to make a house measuring 100 M².

"Okay," replied Wall and Gros, who then began to dig several points of land marked by Abraham.

Next Mary, please split this bamboo with a size of 1.5 M" on the other hand Abraham also asked Mary to help him split the bamboo that would later be used as a fence.

Because the bamboo they cut was large, basically when split it would produce at least 2-3 bamboo blades that were quite thick and that would later become a temporary fence made by Abraham.

With the strength of the strong orcs race, the work of making the foundation holes was basically completed quickly.

In less than 10 minutes 8 foundation holes 2 M deep had been made by Wall and also Gros.

Inserting the previously cut logs, Abraham together with Wall and Gros then began to plant the long wood that had a height of 7-8 M.

After being inserted into the foundation, the wood that was originally 8 M high had decreased by 2 M. And left 6 M above the ground.

From there, Abraham then made the distance between the stilt house and the ground by 2 M, where he assumed that with that height at least his house would be safe enough.

So after installing the foundation pillars, then started making the frame by utilizing the existing wood, they immediately made the upper frame of the roof of the house.

And during this process of making, Wall and Gros became interested and wondered what kind of house Abraham would build.

Because with the current architectural form, those who haven't ever seen a stilt house became surprised.

Because there were no nails used to tie, Abraham decided to make some wooden locking holes that could replace the use of nails as locks.

It's just that the shortcomings of these wooden locking holes can only be used in important parts of the roof, for the rest he can't use it.

Due to lack of tools and also time and lack of wood material.

Because he made a house with a stilt model, of course the wood that had been set was lacking.

But this is where the use of bamboo, which had been cut by Abraham.

After he instructed Mary to split a lot of bamboo, he then asked Mary to start making a fence with a distance of 1 M and try to surround the entire yard of his house.

On the other side, another collection of bamboo that had not been split, is now starting to be worked on again by Abraham.

He asked Wall and Gros who are currently observers to help split the bamboo according to what he exemplified.

Because this bamboo will be woven into the walls of the house, the thickness of the bamboo must also be thinner when compared to the bamboo split by Mary.

Luckily, technical work like this was very easy for both of them to do, so the three of them quickly finished it.

After finishing, Abraham then measured the wall of the house he was going to make, and after measuring, he quickly began to arrange the bamboo that he had split earlier.

From there, the bamboo weave that formed the wall was quickly realized, and because this work was quite easy, Abraham also asked Wall and Gros to make it slowly.

Because he saw that both of them seemed so interested in what he was doing.

On the other hand, the fence made by Mary was basically successfully completed, only now what was visible were many split bamboo blades stuck in the ground surrounding Abraham's house.

And Mary who saw them busy making weaves for the wall was immediately interested and asked to join in learning, so then with Mary's help they managed to finish making the bamboo woven wall.
