rainfreshharvests > Muddy conditions during winter construction Jan 2005.  Note concrete pillars to prevent any ground contact of untreated wood pillars.  Front wall is a poured insulated concrete foam with R-30+ insulation value.  It also provides support for wood truss span.
rainfreshharvests > Soy-bean polyurethane 2-inch solid aluminum coated foam board insulation with Weather-Mate Plus building wrap.  Shiplap of foam board and building wrap designed to seal off outside air infiltration.
rainfreshharvests > Flashing details showing rubber seals and metal flashing to prevent moisture infiltration.
rainfreshharvests > South facing roof with double-walled glazing and metal roof designed to support panels.
rainfreshharvests > Construction began Dec 15, 2004 on the Bio-Integrated Greenhouse.  Designed to be an off-the-grid bio-shelter to grow plants, fish, herbs, worms (for composting), and duck eggs.  Powered by renewable energy sources -- including a wind turbine, solar electric and solar thermal collectors.

The building shell using pole barn construction with concrete pillars was up by mid-January, 2005.
