I mentioned in my journal about putting an addition on my barn but there is a solo in the way.
Here is a bit more of the conversation along with trying to help paint the picture.
"Can you incorporate the silo into the barn plan , collect water for garden or feeding animals ?
Or drill holes at bottom to drain water out and get something to push it away from the barn and operator ?
Depending on diameter, may make a good housing for some farm critters ?
Seems like you could have fun getting a creative use for it "
I had thought about that but the solo is right where the entrance to the add-on. The way this whole thing is laid out is that the only way into this silo is through the barn. You have to climb a ladder to the hay loft, then climb a few more rungs on the actual silo itself just to be able to see in it. It's probably around 20 ft or so. That is literally the only way in so I wouldn't be able to store food or materials and if there silo stayed there I wouldn't be able to have an addition since it's located in the middle of that side."
I figured I would try to a wider field of opinion by copying it here.Also had a thought about expanding the barn but I can't do that with the silo in the way. It'll have to go. The only problem is how. The silo doesn't have a roof so right now it's just collecting water.
Thought about knocking a few holes in the bottom of it then trying to connect a long chain pull it but I think the metal straps would hold that together pretty well.
I'm fairly good at destroying things but I kinda an at an impasse on this one plus I don't want to destroy the barn while I'm at it.
