Do you use a belt sander or band saw in there?  Those two tools are the biggest dust producers in my garage.  I wish I had a concrete pad in front of the garage so I could roll them outside to use.  It would keep the dust out of my garage.  I wonder if you could build a small platform just out the door and do the same thing. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks, guys.

That may be a good idea, PD.

Clint, i haven't been making sawdust in there yet and plan on doing most of that under the outside overhang.  I'll roll out the bandsaw from the cargo doors like your seeing.  It should be real easy to clean the thing out with a blower.  Biggest thing right now is the humidity, but I found a cheap dehumidification system and it should be much better when I install a window for some air flow.  i wonder how much stuff like keeping bags of charcoal would help to lower it.  i'll find out...

Shop looks good, nice layout.
Seriously tell me something about these Containers.  Do they Breathe.?  Hence if there is no air circulation that is a bad thing.  I know a lot people are building homes from them.

Looks good.  I'm not terribly fond of the stacking idea, sooner or later stairs become a nuisance, but it looks like you have enough room to put another next to it

Bow101, no they do not breathe.  I'm definitely putting in a door and window and a/c unit.  Also, I have a dehumidifaction system.  It'll be fine with the work done but as is they are a death trap.  I'll admit at first going into it I found it kinda creepy to consider being trapped in one.
Turns out, a field mouse got inside of it and I'd shut the doors.  It tried to claw its way out but no go.  I found it dead.

Hence, the name of the shop is the Mouse Trap.
