I am sorry that I have not really had the time since the original post to follow up. Here is a progress photo of where I am at. The pond you see is 20' deep, about 500,000 gallons, 100% dug in clay and spring fed. Everyone needs a pond right?
The building is comprised of a steel skeleton and wrapped with SIP panels. The walls are 8.25" solid foam and the roof is 12.5" solid foam.
Being an engineer by education, I decided to take on the role of playing the GC for the whole project including all of the state and town approvals. The site started as 40 acres of trees, I had to develop my own water source, design a radical septic system and had the local utility run 2 miles of three-phase power to me.
