Work Day Guidelines

Building the living and working infrastructure is part of the Factor e Farm experiment. We want to discover insights on the feasibility of starting a DIY community. This includes infrastructure creation - as one of the tasks taken on by participants. Our replication model for future communities requires that we understand the insights of team work, ergonomics, and machine use - of what it takes to build a real community in a practical, easy, and replicable way. Work days are intended to be collaborative and synergistic. Typically, these are from 9AM-5PM unless otherwise noted.

To prepare:

• Announcement is made Monday
• Email invitation is sent out to Factor e Farm Google Group on Monday for the coming week.

On the day:

• 8 Hour work commitment is expected. No errands or other diversions should be undertaken at this time to keep team spirit and progress high.
• Break for lunch is not included in the 8 hours.

Dress guidelines:

• Wear hard-toed shoes, eye protection, ear protection, and hard hats as needed.
