Spoke with the Construction Industries Division of New Mexico. They are saying that a container home has to be fully designed by a structural engineer. So, another large amount of money to throw at it. I can't just "build" what I want. So, here we go again. I'm not paying to have another design engineered, so I seem to be pivoting back to the sandbag dome. Still waiting on that bit of engineering to be done tho. Hurry up and wait is the current motto. There's no guarantee that the county will approve the placement of an earthbag home either.

Have always wondered what the penalty is for just building shit and dealing with the codes later

Is there no way to get around this rule by maybe putting the container on some kind of trailer with wheels? Though even if that is allowed, not sure how the cost of that would compare to alternatives.

I feel like there should be a simple cookie cutter structural plan for a container home somewhere on the web for free

This kind of thing makes me so mad. Regulated out of the freedom to just do what we want with our own spaces.
