<p> Anyway, I was Hit with a possible idea When arc light was describing The artist loft he had seen. Perhaps a custom built Simple Metal shed and roof ( shell ) could be built over the Empty lot And then container construction could start inside. It perhaps could be cheaper then retrofitting every container to be all weather resistant. It may also be easier to get permits for getting started with a standard building shell on site. Just and idea ...</p>

<p>I completely understand what you're saying about not being able to do everything yourself. That will definitely add to the cost </p>

I'd like to point out hackerdojo just completed a 250k fund raiser<br>
just to get two of their buildings rezoned and bring their current<br>
building up to code.<br>
<br>
That gets them pretty much nothing they didn't already have except a<br>
pass from the local city government to use it for people.<br>
<br>
There are things hackers cannot do without gobs of money.<br>
