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.

It took a while though and many inspections passed for years before the “last one”.

They can ban you from living there. @errldabs knows first hand
