	We should mine the Sugar Mountain Farm blog for technical details of implementation - in particuluar, process and equipment used. This should be published as a technical overview/design paper, and should be reported on the Factor e Farm weblog. Walter is doing cutting edge work exaclty along the lines of relocalization that [[OSE values]]. I requested a high-res version of the floor plan for the facility. The cost of the facility is $150k with many cost-saving techniques from Walter, and I suspect we can go much lower with lumber/brick/rebar/sheet metal/construction equipment/waste treatment/renewable energy and other techniques that come out of the [[GVCS]].

	2012-03-10: I would caution not to have the mentality of trying to get the construction cost to a minimum. A race to the bottom is not necessarily the best course. The long term costs of cleaning and maintenance are high. These over whelm many facilities. With this in mind we are purposefully building to have a durable, long lasting facility that is easy to keep clean and hygienic. Wood construction is a poor choice due to these issues and why we chose masonry. Regular steel rusts which is why we use stainless steel.

	~~http~~:~~//SugarMtnFarm~~.~~com/butchershop~~		2012-12-16: Last week we completed the final pour of concrete which closed in the building of our on-farm USDA inspected meat processing facility. 82 cu-yards of concrete capping the ceilings of the building in a mix of poured reinforced concrete and ferro-cement using lots of lathe, wwm, rebar, stainless steel and basalt. Now we can work indoors, finishing off the USDA inspector's office, bathroom and initial cutting room while the cold winds and snows of winter blow outside. Here are some posts with lots of details and photos:

			Most of the ceilings are poured ferro-cement barrel vaults and catenary arches. A marriage of techniques. Everything has fiber. With these last two pours we used some basalt rebar and mesh for the first time.

			It feels really good to finally have the structural building closed in. It is super insulated and super massive designed for easy cleaning, low maintenance and energy efficiency. We're only a little over budget after four years of work. This winter we anticipate starting to cut meat in our own on-farm butcher shop. We can almost taste the bacon!

			Cheers!
