I have two containers with oak (?) flooring.

I don't have any advice about your anchoring problem but I do have a
few questions.

First off, you are talking about shipping containers right? Like 20
feet long x 8 ft wide and 8 ft high (unless you got an extra high?)

So would it be worth it to tip these on their side for easy bottom
access and install some anchors?

Are your Summers hot? You going to do any fun mods like a thin sheet
metal roof "skin" to act as a sun shield? How about a water puddle
roof? Wood siding and a faux painted window? (rompe-l'oeil)
World's biggest dog house? (could attract punk vandals and tourists)

How about a dust blow out system? Install some hard line around the
bottom perimeter with some blow off nozzles angled "just right" to
blow fine dust out the door. Might need a pretty big pressure tank
and larger diameter hose. Maybe do it in sections? Deepest 1/3,
middle third, door third?

PsS

I have two twenty footers. I have bought a lot of corrugated steel, and am
going to put a roof over it about a foot up, just for shade. I had thought
about a flowing water system for cooling. It does get hot in there, but I
wonder about the rust. I am going to paint the same as the iron ore sand
dunes, and paint cactuses and bushes on them to have them blend into the
countryside. I would use some old barnwood, as we get a lot around here,
but that would just be a nest for the scorpions and spiders. I live way
out, and driving up, having them blend in would look nice. Ah, another day,
another project. I hope to make some big money soon on my book, and then I
can call someone and have all this done while I'm away on a cruise or in
Kauai.
