Grain bins converted to shed

Madonna would be proud.

Ok, NOW the jokes and comments can start!

A few tractor thoughts and song titles are running around my cranial expanse at the moment

I have thought of painting the fill holes brown and the roof a pink skin colour, but I was afraid it might cause a few plane crashes.:shocked::laughing::laughing:

You did a great job, it looks great!

Let there be light.
Installed a 360W Metal Arc light fixture in each cone.

Thought it was a little dark in the middle so I added an 8 foot fluorescent.

Wow, what a difference the lights make. A very unique shop / storage shed!

Have you considered adding curved shelving to take advantage of some of the higher areas? You probably could get 6 - 4' long x 1' wide boards out of a sheet of 3/4" plywood (haven't sketched it out - only visualized the waste of caused by the curvature of the bin).

Great project / reuse of the old bins!!

OK, now this is starting to take on "man cave" characteristics. It really looks nice.
Maybe I missed it but how did you do the roof seal where one joins the side of the grain bins?

I already had a curved shelving unit built on the 1 side and I am planning to build the same for the other. Will take a picture of it when I get a chance.

See post #46 for explanation.
