Ihlala yenzeka rhoqo ukuba ubomi bosapho buzaliswa ngamaxesha amnandi kwaye buncume, kodwa neengxabano kunye neengxabano. Emva kwenye ingxabano enjalo, umfazi wamgxotha umyeni wakhe, kwaye wayengenandawo yokuya kwindlu yabucala. Kwaye kwagqitywa kwelokuba akhe indlu kanye ehlathini. Kodwa ngaphandle kwamakhonkco kunye neefosholo kwakwengekho nto. Kubandakanya i-smelter kwaye yaqala ukusebenza. Imoto isabeka i-screwdriver, i-ax, izikhonkwane, isitovu kunye nezikrelemnqa. Okokuqala andizange ndicinge ukuba akukho nto izakusebenza, umhlaba uyadinwa. Yiloo nto eyenzekileyo.
Ndithathe isigqibo sokumba umngxunya wokuqala kwindlu yam. Ndizamile ukumba i-frills umhlaba, ayisebenzi. Ndigqibe kwelokuba kufuneka ufudumeze umhlaba, umfuzi omkhulu we-bonfire unqabile ukunyibilika umkhenkce kunye nomhlaba. Oku kushiye usuku lonke kunye nokumba kwehle ebusuku. I-pavavation enephazamiso ngexesha leqadi -20ies, wasifuduse emlilweni. Ndimba umngxunya onobungakanani obuyi-3000 x 2000 x 1500 mm.
Ngentsasa elandelayo ndaya ehlathini ukusika iinkuni neenkuni, ndahamba ndaza ndaqala ukubathwala, ndangaphambi kokuba ndenziwe ngaphambili. Ndikhuphe intambo ukuba ibonwe apho ngokuthe ngqo, kwaye apho kungekho. Kwaye kwangaloo mini ndaya kusika imithi. Emva koko, yonke imithi yaqala ukugawula kunye nokwenza into efanayo nakwezipliki. Inqanaba elilandelayo lenze umgangatho phantsi. Ewe, iintsika zaya emhlabeni, zaza zamisa iingodo, zaza zawa ngamacala amane, zizigqobhoza izikhonkwane. Emva kwale nto kwaqala ukubeka izinto phantsi kwaye wazifaka amanqaku. Kwilogo, umngxunya wasikwa kwangaphambili ngokufakelwa, enye ilog yacocwa phantsi kwekona ebukhali. Kukwaphuma nakwiilogo zenze umnyango. Yonke imingxunya ye-Dug yahlulwa emthini ukuze ilungele ukugcina iimveliso zendawo yefriji.
Ngaphezulu kwe-2 yezilongo kwaye uzikhusele. Ayisiyo yonke imithi enokusikwa esiphelweni, kwafuneka isebenzise imitshato yokwahlula iingodo. I-Chainsaw yaxhuzula ke imitshato yanceda lula ukusika. Imisebenzi ayinxibanga, ichaziwe kuphela.
Zonke iilogo ezomileyo kufuneka zizaliswe yisemicircle ukunika indawo yokuhlala inkangeleko ebhalwe ngakumbi kwaye ilungele ukwehla uphahla. Iilog ze-semicircular zisongelwe kwaye zafumana amanqaku kuzo. Ukusuka ngaphakathi, waqhuba inkxaso yamaplanga encedise ukugcina uyilo lonke.
Kwiindonga ezifakiweyo zabethelela iibhodi ezenziwe ngqo kwizinto ezizodwa. Iipliki zazinobunzima obahlukileyo kwaye nokuba, ke, ukumiswa kophahla kwakunzima. Ngaphantsi kwebhedi, nako, iiplanga, zigutyungelwe ngumongo ovela phezulu, zathulula i-sandust. UPaul onjalo uye waveliswa, ushushu kwaye awuzange udale ukungakhathali.
Phezu kophahla lweMoss, lwasikwa ehlathini. Beka umnyango kwi-lop kunye necala elinye lagqiba kwelokuba liyipende. Yamba ipeyinti emnyama kwaye ipeyinta ipateni yepeyinti emhlophe. Phambi komnyango, ndimba umngxunya wam, ndenza amanyathelo. Kwindlu ekhuthazayo iphakamise isitovu. Ukuze uMods akazange atyibilike, ifilwe kunye nomhlaba, kwaye emacaleni, anyanzelwa. Endlwini ishushu, kwaye kwindawo yokugcina iimveliso.
Ezi ziimeko ezinzima zendalo, zityhalele indoda ukuba zenze isakhiwo esinjalo. Ukuba uyafuna, ungayenza yonke into ngezandla zakho. Ukwakhiwa kwe-cottage ihambile iintsuku ezintathu. Kodwa kwiveki elandelayo, wayefudumele.
NGABA ukhe ukhuphele ngaphandle kwendlu? Uyenzile ntoni kwimeko enjalo?
