Every 8' in each wall is a 6X6 (laminated treated to 6' above ground - stagger finger jointed to regular 2X6's above that) post buried 6' in the ground. All those at the top are connected on both sides by a 2X12. Those have 2X6's as wall girts on the outside attached to the posts  horizontally on the outside every 2'. The outside of that is skinned with the metal. Then horizontally between the posts, inside the posts, in the middle of the wall Girt, are Bookcased 2X6's that are kreg screwed to each wall girt top and bottom and kreg screwed (kinda toenailed) to each post. In between, at the 4' between the 8' posts, is a Center run 2X6, connecting each bookcased horizontal 2X6 to each other, from floor to the top of the 2X12 at the top. Then ALL the Inside gets skinned with double layers of 3/4" thick 7-ply Marine Grade plywood that is screwed into the posts and Center 2X6 and at least two of the horizontal Bookcased 2X6s. again that is skinned with 1.5" thick ply. Imagine the most elaborate Building torsion box you can think of and then double that.

Roof trusses are every 4. Those are braced by 12 runs of 2X4s and 2X6s. The ceiling and gable ends, including covering over all the attachment of the truss angles and the 1' over hangs are sprayed 3-4' of closed cell 2lb spray foam.

Add in about 6-7 miles of copper in various forms and gauges to tie it all together.

I don't think earthquakes are a huge threat in Mike's neighborhood either.  I did survive the 2008 Iowa earthquake though.  

I have nothing else of value to add to this.  i just like to see this on the first page every time I check in!

I have several small air poppers but currently am making popcorn on the stove with coconut oil. I have looked at the full machines several times. Recommend one?.

Thank you guys for the comments.

I got the scissor lift on thenorth west wall last night.
