Your building is looking really nice. Seeing the building put together from beginning to end is pretty educational.
I'm curious to see how all of the insulation will be installed and what you have in mind for environment control, as well as some of the more minor things like shelving.

But, we want to know NOW. 
It takes a long time. I've been working on mine since the snow melted. My goal is to be done and operational before the first snow this winter. Of course in my area, we only have 4 snow free months out of the year, so I have to hurry. From the looks of it, you have to hurry too Graham.

Sick green house Graham! 
Would love to see a post on your's RR I saw you lowering a shipping container into the ground in your gallery. That the type of set up I'm planning on using if I don't pour my own foundation/basement.

RR, I really do have to hurry, I am working on several projects.. one is a compost pasteurizer, and the other is a garage/storage building.
Not only that but I still have to keep up with MycoPath orders.

I recently obtained a ribbon mixer. It holds around 40 cubic feet of material, so I will use that to mix up my straw and various other things for my business. I need to take pictures of it and post them. I pressure washed it and I will wire brush it within the next week and get a fresh coat of paint on it before I snap some pics.
It has a 3hp 3phase motor so I had to also buy a 7.5 hp 3phase rotary converter. It should be here on Friday.. whoohooo!

Do you have 3 phase power at your panel ?

No, that's why I bought a 3phase rotary converter. It converts single phase into 3 phase.

Great thread - my personal favorite.
Just wanted to extend on offer to ya - I am an architect and my business partner is a structural engineer. I am not licensed in your state but he is. Anyhow, I would advise you or anyone building something like this to get some calcs done on the support system - just because your a big guy and it can hold you now doesn't mean it will for long. Especially if strong winds/rain/snow/flooding are involved. Hate to see it all come crashing down! Just food for thought. Id be happy to help ya out if needed. Your passion for this is infectious, I am sending my Jedi vibes your way!

Dreamster1,
Thank you for the offer. I just don't know where to really even begin to do this. but I'd love to get input on what to do to figure out load strengths.
Thank you for the kind words

i assume your doing hanging logs like you have been doing? id need to know, in addition to exact dimensions of structure:
1) was the concrete reinforced in any way? IE, fiber-mesh or rebar?
2) concrete footing type and depth
3) weight of each log
4) how you plan of securing the logs to the support and whether or not the logs will be entirely top-supported or top and bottom supported (recommended).
5) number of logs per support
6) your geographical location to figure out wind, snow and seismic loading criteria.
then i would give ya
1)beam type and size
2)post and beam fastening requirements
3)lateral bracing requirements. although, i would bet dollars-to-primordia that if you bottom support your logs they will actually act as cross-bracing. bottom supports will reduce loading on main beam as well which will reduce beam size, which will drive down price.
this may all seem like overkill but its not. your dealing with a ton of weight.
i would do this for free to help a fungal brotha out -as long as my name and more importantly my architectural license is kept off it - which it sounds like wouldn't be a problem as I assume you already have a building permit for this? if you want to keep this completely above aboard - highly recommended for company insurance issues down the road - then I would put a structural engineers seal on the drawings for around $400.00. The seal takes all liability of you so if you can afford it go for it - if not just knowing the thing is done right and for free should suffice!
also - whatever you do use PRESSURE treated lumber for ALL supports!!!!

I'm not hanging the logs from the structure. They will have their own shelving/hanging structure.

Yes, but that structure needs to support them. And in turn, the concrete needs to support that. Sketch-up what you propose and address the points in my previous post. Ill take a look-see for ya

Regarding the 40 cubic foot ribbon mixer..
I got the 3 phase rotary converter, I installed it, wired everything up, got a 100' extension cord, wired that all up. Plugged it in, and bam... nothing but a buzzing sound.
My heart sank to the floor.
My first thought was... maybe I wired it wrong. I checked everything and it was all perfect. So I started at square one... I looked at the name plate and noticed that I had read the power requirements wrong, the motor was capable of running at 220, but it was statically wired to run at 440, which is why I heard the buzzing noise and nothing else.. not enough power for the way it was wired... Here's where it gets hairy.
Normally 3 phase motors have 9 wires coming out of them, and there is a specific way you wire it so it will work for 220, or 440, Mine only had 3 wires... My stomach turned more than it already was.
So, I noticed that there was a sticker on the motor with a phone number to a company up in Vancouver Washington. I called them and they said.. No problem we can rewire it, I said... uh, but, there are only 3 wires that come out of the coil of wire coming out of the motor. He said... YES, that's why you bring it to me, and I'll take that varnish off, pull off the leads and rewire it, clean it, re-varnish it and bake it and you should be all set.
We wont go into the details of how much it cost and how much the motor is worth... blah blah.
I took it down there and we put it on a bench (with a winch, it weights about 150lbs) and he hooked up these huge alligator clips up to it to test it. It turned about 1/4 inch and no more, and then I heard the sound of the shop owner, groaning... going "Ohhh boy, something is wrong"
I leave it with him, and he tells me the worst case scenario, which nearly makes me pee my pants, and I head back home wondering how much this is going to cost me.
Anyways... to shorted this story, after some calls back and forth, he calls me a week later and says its done, so I pick it up. and it looks really nice and new, and better than that, it works. So back on to the ribbon blender to get some stuff mixing.
I have yet to paint the mixer, but that will come with time.

You're not planning to run that motor on a 100' extension cord I hope. You might want to look at nameplate amps on the motor and the efficiency rating on the phase converter. With that, I can tell you what size cord you'll need to feed it with.

extension cords are not rated for continuous use. your wires would at least need to be 6g for the amperage drop.
