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.

No big deal! 😁 I'll still do some work on this container to make it useful. I want to repaint the inside white so it's brighter. I need to make access for electrical and stuff. Might even build a bathroom to house my fancy composting toilet for now(it has a vent to the outside so no funky smells).
