Why did the carpenter tell Levin that he would rebuild the house one day?

The carpenter and Levin should have said the reason for rebuilding the house a few days ago: the wood is not dry yet, and building a house with wet wood is easy to collapse.

From the original text of Building a House with Logs:

Levin should plan to build a house. The carpenter said to him, "Impossible! The wood is still wet. If you put mud on it, it will bend. Build a house with freshly cut wet wood. Although the newly built house looks quite strong, it will collapse in a few days. "

Levin should say: "According to your words, my house can't be damaged-because in the future, the wood will become harder and harder, the soil will become drier and lighter, and the house will naturally not be damaged."

Enlightenment of building houses with logs;
