When is the best season to build houses in the countryside?
In Yanzi's hometown of Hanzhong, Shaanxi, farmers usually build their own houses in winter, and the whole preparation stage will start from the autumn and winter of the first year to the autumn and winter of the second year, while the general building starts in early winter, and they can move into their new homes after the twelfth lunar month is basically completed.
In the past, people chose to build houses in winter.
In fact, there is a common phenomenon in rural areas, whether it is weddings, funerals or building houses, the time is generally more inclined in autumn and winter every year. I have also consulted some elderly people in rural areas on this issue, and they gave the following reasons:
First, autumn, winter and December belong to farmers' slack season. At this time, farmers generally don't have much farm work, so they can use this gap to build houses without delaying farm work. In addition, people are generally idle, and it is easier to find people who can help build houses. Therefore, in terms of time, manpower and material resources, it seems more appropriate to build a house in autumn and winter.
Busy farming is a good time to build a house.
Second, the weather conditions in northern China are generally good. There is relatively little rain in autumn and winter, especially in winter, which is generally dry and cold. Therefore, building maintenance can work outdoors for many days without being affected by bad weather and rain. In addition, there are few windy days, so the safety of work is relatively high.
Third, building materials. At this time, in the past, it was best to use wood to build houses in rural areas, and the wood would be cut down in autumn and winter. The next winter, the wood had just been left for a whole year, and the water had been lost. The wood has dried up, which is a good time to build a house. Generally, the preparation period for building renovation will last for one year. Everyone will prepare from the winter of the first year to the autumn and winter of the second year, which just takes a whole year. Considering the preparation of materials, building a house in winter seems to be the best time.
In the rural housing construction
Now the time to build a house is more flexible. Of course, the time for building houses in rural areas will be more flexible now. Rural people are increasingly divorced from agricultural labor, and farming time has less and less influence on them. However, there are special professional construction teams for rural housing construction, and there is no need to be restricted by seasons to carry out construction work. But the temperature is higher in summer and the days are longer. Most of them choose spring or summer as the time to build houses.
Nowadays many people build houses in summer.
