How I Build Swiftlets Farms ( shop lot) Part 4

Once the planks installation is completed the installation of tweeters begin. Placement of the int tweeters are very important. Most would say that the more int tweeters the better it is. In fact it is debatable. Some very successful farms have not more than 20 tweeters per floor while some failed farms have more than 120 tweeters per floor.

For me it is not how many, it is where it should be placed. The main criteria is to place them at the right position.

..


(I am using wiring clips for easy and hassle free works. The clips secured tightly I don't have to worry about poor connection)

I prefer 1 Amp per each floor. If you have 2 floors then it should be 3 Amp. 1 for the ext sound and 1 each per floor (int sound). Reason being if 1 of the int Amp failed you farm's int sound will not be totally out.

I have seen many use 1 Amp (int) for the whole building. Reason being "cost". If you visit your farm once a month and if your int Amp failed then your farm will be out of sound for 1 month. By then many birds would have left.

If you have 2 Amps or more if 1 failed you still have another 1 running. So your int sound would not be totally out. For new farms it is very important that the int sound keeps running 24/7 without stop.

Moreover having more Amps mean that each Amp handle less tweeters. This would stretch the life span of the Amp. Never push the Amp to its limit. This would shorten its life span. An Amp that could handle 150 tweeters and is being attached to 150 tweeters constantly running 24/7 would not last long compared to a similar one that only handle 80 tweeters. In this case no fan is needed because there is no over load.

Once all tweeters are fixed and attached to the Amp then the sound is ready to play. Check and tune the volume. Neither too loud nor soft.

Don't forget you need a good sound to attract Swiftlets into you new opening farm.

The size of the OR must be predetermined. There is no standardisation here. It could be on the left or right side of the building.It could be 3x3ft or 18x20ft or 20x 25ft. It depends on how the farm is being designed.

The number of Ventilation hole depends on the size of the farm and it design. There is no straight rules of how many would be appropriate. Some successful farms have many while other successful farms have none. One day you would understand...he...he..

After all walls are plastered and have dried, washing is needed. This is to wash away the cement smell. Some use pineapple as they believe the juice could wash away the cement smell. But I don't use pineapple. After washing I will let it dried for a week. Then I would apply Love Potion on all walls especially the edges. Then the installation of planks begin.

My advise is to wash the farm first before nesting planks are being installed. This to prevent the planks from water and dust from construction works.

The planking work takes about a week or more. The measurement and the formation are pre- calculated so that you can order the planks without wastage.

Make sure it is the good quality meranti wood. There are many in the market that are of other wood and sold as meranti. Most owner can't distinguish it. Paying premium price for cheap wood.

決定屋顶开洞的大小必须預先确定。这是沒有標準化的。 它可能在燕屋 的左邊或右邊。 它能是3x3尺或18x20尺或者20x 25尺。 它是全靠燕屋 農場的設計而定的.

.

通风孔的数量取决于燕屋農場的大小和它的設計。它是沒有直接的規則多少是適當的。有些成功的燕屋農場里有很多, 也有些成功的燕屋農場里一个也 没有。 一天您會明白…喜…喜。

.

.

当所有牆壁的塗了灰泥和烘乾了之後，洗滌是需要的。 這是為了洗走水泥 的氣味。

一些用黄梨，因为他們相信黄梨的汁可能洗走水泥的氣味。 但是我不用黄梨。我只是在洗滌以後讓它用一個星期的时间来烘乾。 然后 我會在所有牆壁喷上Love Potion特别是角落。 然后開始安裝板條。

.

.

我勸告的是在安裝板條之前洗滌燕屋農場。這是為了防止在建筑工程时在板條上沾有水和塵土.

Good result of Using Love Potion

Received a call from a user of Love Potion today. The farm is in Trengganu. It was completed in Oct 08. The sound was started thereafter. The first nest sign was in the first month after operation.using


Today he called me again to keep me up dated. 5 months plus now the total nests in the farm as to day is 50 plus. Fantastic result. He uses nothing except Love Potion from the beginning.


This is not the first case there are many cases like this. So it is not uncommon to see good result from using Love Potion. If your farm's micro & macro conditions is at good level with the Love potion it would helps to speed up nests grow especially for new farm.


There are some users recorded different results this shows that there are some underlying problems in the farm that need to be rectified usually the poor internal condition.


Thru my experiences and the feed back from Love Potion users most that recorded fantastic results are farms that have reasonable good micro (internal condition).


For those who may want to know how he achieved it you may call him at 0174230011. He will share his experience with you.


Congratulations to him......

今天接到一個 Love Potion 用戶的电话。 農場在登嘉楼。 它在10月08日 完成了。然後开始了聲音。 第一個燕窝的標誌是在第一個月後的操作.

今天他再告诉我。 5個多月的農場至今天总共有的燕窝是50。 预想不到 的結果。從開始他除了Love Potion 什么都没有使用。

這不是第一個案件还有象这样的許多案件。 因此用 Love Potion而得到好的 結果是很普通的。 如果您的燕屋農場的屋内&屋外的情况在 是好水平, 用 Love Potion 將会幫助加速燕子造窝, 由其是新的燕屋農場。

有些用戶有了不同的結果，通常是一些屋内情况有问题而需要被矯正的農場.

通过我的經驗和記錄從 Love Potion 的用戶, 通常得到预想不到的結果是从 一些有好的屋內情况的燕屋農場。

对于想要知道他怎麼達到結果的那些人, 您可以打电话给他0174230011。 他將與您分享他的經驗。

祝賀他......

The location of the Open roof (OR) must be positioned correctly. Any error would affect the micro as the opening is very big compared to Dog Kennel. Don't worry about damage done to the roof or the shop lot.
.
.

Thru my experiences many owners would request that not to do too much alteration to the shop because if one day the farm is not successful then they will save the renovation cost of turning back the shop to its previous.

.
I ask them if you had thought of this then you should not had invested in it. If one has such thinking then the farm will not end up a good farm. With many restrictions it is hard to build a good farm. It is a no turning back investment. Do whatever the best to get the best result.

Do the best to avoid future revamp. Every details has to be considered. Think not about now or 6 months from now or 1 year. It is a long term planning.
.
.

.

The celling has been removed to pave way for the OR. The position is based on the flying circle of Swiftlets in that area. Size varies depend on the location , area and of cos the size and the design of the farm. Anything that are not in the plan must be removed or taken down.
.
.


.
..

Sand Bricks are being used inside for economical reason. It is good for internal walls. Some may use ceiling board or ply wood for internal walls or partition but I still prefer Sand bricks.
.
.

It's for long term and security reason as ceiling board and plywood tend to move or sag over time. The prolong high humidity in farm surely affect the plywood to chip. I don't like the smell so do birds.

.

.

Some may plaster the bricks some may not well for me it all depended on where the walls are erected.

设放屋頂开洞必须在恰當的地點。任何錯誤將会影響燕屋内的环境因为它的开口是比狗洞还来的大。不许要對商店或屋頂所造成的损害有任何的顾虑。

通过我的經驗, 許多拥有燕屋的人會請求对商店不要做太大的装修， 因為， 如果一天燕屋農場不成功的话, 他們还可以节省改修商店的装修費来回 到原本的行装。

我问他們如果您有这样的想法您不應該有这样的投資。 如果有這樣想法 的您就不會好的農場。 許多限制是是很难有来修建一個好的燕屋農場。 它是一个沒有会头的投資。要做就做最好的来取得最佳的結果。

应该竭尽全力來避免未來的修補。必須考慮每个細節。不要想現在或6個月或1年的时间。 它是一個长远的计划.

将会在天花板上來为屋頂开洞. 位置是根据那個區域燕子的飛行圈子路线。 大小的改變是根据地點，區域和当然燕屋農場的大小和設計。任何不在計劃中必须去除或除掉.

在裡面使用沙子磚是因為經濟的原因。对內部牆壁是很好的。有些也会许使用天花板或三夹板為內部牆壁或分開，但是我仍然喜歡沙子磚。

是為長期的和安全的原因, 隨著時間天花板和三夹板会移動或下垂。 在延 長高湿度的燕屋農場肯定会影響三夹板。 我也象燕子不喜欢 如此的氣味。

一些也许会為沙子磚牆壁打灰, 但是我还是觉的架設牆壁的地点。

將繼續…
