建设过程 Building Process <1>
租下一个纳西庭院，聘请了当地工程队，自己筹资，设计出图纸、选料、施工、装修，改建，全程我们负责监理， 亲自订购所有建筑装修材料及室内配套用品。
设计原则：建筑外立面尽量保留纳西庭院传统风格，室内装修力求简洁、实用、方便，建材多利用拆除的旧料及当地环保材料，室内用品订购国产名牌。
We rented a Naxi Courtyard, hired a local engineering team and collected money by ourselves. We were responsible for supervising the design drawings, material selection, construction, decoration, reconstruction and other processes. We also ordered all the building and decorative materials and indoor supporting supplies.
Design principles: We try our best to keep the building fa?ade for traditional style of Naxi courtyard as much as possible and seek the simple, tidy and easy-to-use indoor decoration. Most of our building materials are collected from reclaim used material and local environmental-friendly materials. Furniture, bedding articles, toilet products and other interior supplies are domestic well-known brands.
2006 年秋，新落成的如意坊开始接待客人。
如意坊是我们的家，同时定位为私人乡村会所，不以盈利为目的，不对外接待，宾客都是来自中国和世界各地的亲朋好友，均以事业成功者为多。
In the autumn of 2006, the newly-built RUYIFANG started to receive guests and visitors.
The RUYIFANG is our home. We put RUYIFANG in a position of non-profitable private village lounge. Our purpose is not making profit so we don't serve outsiders. All visitors are our relatives and friends coming from China and other countries all over the world. Most of them are very successful in their business and territory.
庭院宽敞的纳西民居，老房已有近百年历史，主楼向东，后面是一栋新三层楼。
The residence we reconstructed is an old Naxi house with over one hundred year history and the large garden is very comfortable. The main building is towards the East and there is a new three-floor building at the back.
南面有一间养牛马、放置农具柴火杂物的泥砖旧瓦房。
In the south, there is a old tile-roofed house made from adobe. Its main purpose is to raise cattle and horses and keep farm implements, firewood and miscellaneous things.

2006 年 4 月动工，老房全部拆除。
The demolishment of the old house was started from April, 2006.
我们负责全程监理，这是工人打水井。
We were responsible for supervising the whole process. Here, workers were drilling a well.
基建中的庭院
Courtyard under Construction.
新三层楼重新建设，铺瓦顶，楼板，隔墙等，最关键是建卫生间。
The reconstruction of the new three-floor building included the pavements of roof tiles, floor slabs, partitions, etc. What counted the most was the construction of toilets.
卫生间要建在木头房内，防水防漏是一个难关。
It is a barrier for us to build toilets in wooden rooms because of water and leak-proof construction.
工人正做大门的房顶。我们要求房屋外立面保留纳西民居风格。
The workers were making the roof of the front door. We required them to keep the facade of the building as its old Naxi style.
