So he shelved the idea. You could talk to him about the simpler, non-automated fibreglass box design…
Nice design, I would do something like this, but mine is designed as I live in a rental property and am limited on what I can build on. The grass is still growing which is the primary reason for my design.

Next time, either buy a home and land or rent a place that has paving.
