I have faith
Considering im the metal guy
My buddy is a lic'd plumber
His buddy is a lic'd electrician.
All the expensive things are basically just going to be parts.
Labour is free when enough bud is shared

The land is the biggest obstacle
We have looked at thousands ranging from 10-250k
Some have water some dont.
I would buy huge septic tanks and collect rain and or dig a well.

We are still in the planning stages but im glad to have gotten this much feedback and no one has said ur crazy forget about it

mabey look for a cabin type place on the outskirts of town that way you got easy acess to power N water

I was planning to do a regular cinderblock poured basement but to do a really big basement would cost more than the containers.

Up here a 40' is 2500 delivered
A 20' is 2300 so for the extra 200 id rather have extra sq footage

So Depending on where you are. Container should cost about 3k (Delivered)
Insulation should cost about 1-2k
Drywall or cheap OSB boards go for CHEAP to seperate rooms. I'm thinking Framing a wall and an energy saver door, would prolly run you about 200 FOR A DOOR AND FRAME SETUP USING OSB Board to separate the rooms.
Now electricity, Running the wires and having the MLC (mother light control panel) I have an electrician friend who would charge me on material only. Should only run about 1-2k

Solar, You can pay monthly and finance that. (no problem)
Considering YOU ALREADY HAVE THE EQUIPMENT. it shouldnt cost THAT much.

8k to outfit a shipping container, ONE TIME.
Monthly Solar Payments
Water (unless you have a well)
Nutrients
You're good to go. Throw in all your equipment.
Flip that bitch on!

Yeah, no, I get that, I wasn't referring to your above ground scheme that presumably takes place on property you already posses, I was referring to the OP's entire idea of purchasing land, excavating the land and burying a unit, building a building out of units around it, making sure everything is structurally sound and wired correctly, not to mention finding some sort of water source for your off the grid, middle of nowhere buried grow op and not-open-to-the-public mechanic shop.

Ur right everyone
I do appreciate all the positive feedback and to a lesser degree the negative ones lol
I look forward to doing this or some very similar type of setup hopefully in the not to distant future.
I hope when i do some of you guys are still on here to see it.
