Building a Wikihouse in Taiwan

there should be a wikihouse at Pei-Ping Elementary School in Hsin-Bu Township, Hsin-Chu County, built in 2015 or 2016. you could ask how it is now.

For the foundation construction, Canadian cypress was used to coat the asphalt for anticorrosion, and two hollow bricks were raised to prevent ground gas and moisture. At the same time, thick asphalt is applied to the timber section to prevent termites from invading from the section. After the main building is assembled, one layer of heat-resistant and flame-resistant paint is used to treat fire prevention, and three layers of wood-protecting paint are used to prevent moisture, corrosion, and insects. The outermost part is covered with cypress rain panels, and the roof is assisted by local subway workers to cover the light-transmitting plate to adapt to Taiwan’s humid and warm environment and prolong the life of WikiHouse’s wooden structure.
