Are you the Mitch from fabprefab? If so I'm happy to see you didn't disappear off the side of the earth and given up on your dreams since that means u might pave the way for my dream house

The timing is interesting since I called affordableportablehousing on Thursday about buying a container but when I made a very preliminary inquiry about a container house plan Mr affordableportable went into his spiel:
He said every container house plan submitted by everybody else was rejected by the county but every one of his plans been approved.
I asked how much it cost to submit a plan so he tick off cost for drafting and applications- I didn't know what he was talking about and you wouldn't want to interupt him as he is quite passionate about this stuff though he did say the total cost about $2500- does that sound right?
He said financing is difficult this project.
I mentioned I had the hi-cube container with the 10foot ceiling and that I needed the square footage so would it be possible to lay the container on it's side for max sq footage then he shot me down saying he had a good relationship with the county and wasn't going to jeopardize it by submitting anything funny.
Good thing I didn't mention my other idea- to use one side of a container to wall off a berm sort like Hobbitville but then I don't know what this property looks like yet since I don't have it- another good reason not to place an application now.
My other idea was to place a chemtainer on top of the container for figuratively not literally "green" gravity fed water but I do understand it need to be reinforced. Plan B is sit the chemtainer on the berm so he don't hang up on me next time I call.
Other people want to make friends- I just want to make money.
