Here are some of the pictures taken from the top floor of a Swiftlet farm I am building. Anticipated to be completed in a few weeks time.
這些照片是從最頂層拍下的，一個由我建造的燕屋農場。預計將在幾個星期后完成。
Walls are insulated with Styrofoams to prevent heat from penetrating.
牆壁是用保麗龍來防止熱氣穿透。
The concrete beam is also insulated. Heat can penetrate 6-8" wide concrete in 4 hours of direct sunlight.
那個棟梁也被防熱。在4個小時太陽直接的照射下，熱氣可以穿過6-8"的水泥。

I am using Sand bricks on this side because the Sun sets on the opposite side. (Clay bricks are preferred on areas that expose to direct sun ...evening sun).
我是使用砂磚在這一邊，因爲太陽下山再另外一邊。(粘土磚是首選尤其是在被太陽直接暴曬的牆壁....下午的太陽)。
My workers are no ordinary construction people. They are skillful in all the things they do. Look at how straight the bricks are laid even without plaster. "Perfection"
我的工人並不是普通的建築工人。他們對他們所做的東西都是很純熟的。看看那些磚塊如此的整齊即使還沒有上石膏。"完美的"
One of the very hardworking workers who is camera shy.
其中一個很勤奮的工人，但是卻對相機很害羞的工人。
Huge beams on the top for future expansion.
巨大的橫梁在上面為將來的擴展。
Swiftlet farming is all about thinking and planning for the future. What we do and build today is for tomorrow. Swiftlets don't build nests overnight, it takes time. Swiftlet farming is a long term plan 3-5 years. If the farm is build properly in a good location and with luck on your side then the waiting time would be shorter.
燕屋農場是關於思考和規劃未來。我們今天所建立的是爲了明天。燕子不是在一夜之間做燕窩的，它需要時間。養燕是一項長期的計畫3-5年。如果燕屋農場是正確的建造在良好的位置，那麽運氣就在你的旁邊，等待的時間將變得更短。
Good Swiftlet farming All!
大家有好燕屋農場 ！
