glynne64 Posted December 29, 2006 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2006 We have silos where I live. Within just a few miles as a matter of fact. A buddy of mine would love to buy one & turn it into a nightclub! I've seen some of those shows where people have transformed unusual structures into homes or businesses. I like it. My favorite one though has been a grain silo. Course then I grew up a rice farmer's daughter...maybe that has something to do with it?

Hans Dolbrook Posted January 7, 2007 #17 Share Posted January 7, 2007 i saw a thing on weird history on the histpry channel awhile back about some of the silos in north america,i think this one was in montanna.this man bought it for 20k,and made a house out of it,like 80 feet down.he had less than 60k in building the place,and he said that it never gets below 60 year round.he also said a tornado could fly by,and they would never know it!

Gatofeo Posted January 8, 2007 #20 Share Posted January 8, 2007 There are missile silos near Fairchild Air Force Base, outside Spokane, Washington. They were once used for Nike missiles. The Nike missile program closed down in the late 1960s or early 1970s and the silos were unused. Back in the early 80s, when I lived in Spokane, I read an interesting article about a man who bought one silo. He turned it into a mushroom farm! It was perfect: dark, humidity could be easily controlled, and no one could steal his crop. I don't know if the mushroom farm is still there. Haven't heard of it since I read that article. I don't know that I'd want a nightclub in it. Too many cubbyholes to keep an eye on people. And if someone fell down the shaft, no matter how well you protected it, you'd be in for a multi-million dollar lawsuit. As a home, it might be okay. But I'd soon tire of not viewing the outdoors. I work in a windowless office; it sux. Perhaps a home built on top of it would be fine, then use the silo for storage. I'm a packrat kinda man, ya know ... can never have too much space to save all those old newspapers, grocery bags, funny-lookin' rocks I find in my travels and used pistol targets ... heh.

Michelle Posted January 8, 2007 #21 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Oh gawd, Gatofeo....you sound like my husband. It's a good thing we have storage buildings in another part of town or I'd have to kill him by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
