check with local regulations/permits on the storage container. In several areas we build, we have to pay a fee and register the container on the property as a temporary building. Cost in 1 area is $ 5000. 00 up front and $ 750 a month in fees. We don't do that. We have a couple of PODS close that we use for storage, in a different municipality on land we own.
I am getting a brand new custom built house that will be around 3,500 square feet with high end finishes throughout (hickory hardwoods, heavy molding, 3 sets of exterior french doors (all black) with transoms, black windows throughout, fiber cement siding, granite everywhere, all wood (includes sides and back) cabinets, tile in all baths, 14x35 screened porch that is poured concrete floor [not a deck], spray foam insulation, cedar columns and trim, etc) for $480,000 total (that includes all concrete and exterior/landscaping as well). I did pay $70,000 for the 1-acre lot, so all in, I am at $550,000 for 3,500 square feet, or around $157/square foot, which I consider a damn good deal.

Nice! Black in custom builds is the new gray. Buying your own land and getting your own builder is the way to go. I would never build in a PUD today.
Really? It costs more to build a house in California than in rural Wisconsin? Who could have ever predicted that!
Yeah, it's nice to have liberty, even if you have to go to rural Wisconsin for it. (Relatives hail from Tigerton, Wis!)
