@JelenOutDoors I like it, Paul!!! "A golf putting green". I used to really enjoy golf... maybe I can set up a small par 3 too?!?! This may be the winner 🏆 🤠👍
While I don't have any great ideas for the silo foundation, I still want that Kubota. I didn't realize it was that fast but watching you scoot all over that job gave me the inspiration I needed to not do anything but watch your video. I'll wait until I can afford a tractor before I do any more work around our acreage (At least that's what I'm telling the wife).
How about a geo-dome structure on it? A fruit cage? A greenhouse? Chicken coup? The possibilities are endless....great that you keep doing more stuff.👍
Old silo rings make great sitting areas. I would put a “corn crib” gazebo on it and you would have a nice shaded area to sit and relax. Have a great day!
@@bradleykuechle7586 Thank you! Shade, sitting, relaxing... that's the goal someday 🙏 I keep telling my wife, someday we're just going to live here! 🤠👍
Cutting grass is the best way to keep everything tidy. You'll have to invent a weedwacker attachment for trimming along the walls and edges to keep thing super tidy for less effort
@@Frank-Thoresen I like the idea! I'm going to start with grass and let my imagination take it from there. Kind of a clean slate and let form follow function 🤠👍
My first thought also. Might make a good place to plant a garden or a wildflower plot. I would think the silt from the creek would make a pretty good dirt for planting.
You might find it easier, when possible, to have the trailer beside you and load at 90* vs 180*. Not always possible, of course, but it is so much easier when you can. Just a thought (driven home by countless lectures from the contractor who taught me to run a track hoe)
@@bobgrier3103 You're absolutely right! Thank you. This situation didn't allow for it, as you mentioned. I use the same positioning when I use a loader whenever possible 🤠👍
@Fetch049 Great question. I was a TV news photojournalist for 22 years so shooting and editing is in my blood. I was forced to "retire" when covid hit. So now I'm a full time stay at home dad for my daughter, who has autism. While she's in school or in therapy, I do home improvement. Never worked harder in my entire life! 🤠👍
Okay. You either made more work for yourself or you didn't, I don't know! lol You left the tree. That has to be weed whacked. If you put a fire pit and chairs in there you have to move it before you can mow. It would be a nice place to sit in the shade with a nice breeze and a cold one, but? Do you have the time? lol I have seen so many people over the years that have land and the will just dig big holes and bury everything from metal to used oil and paint and everything in between! Kind of makes me mad. Not mad enough to not use used oil gas and diesel along my fence line though! Careful when you find metal like that. I could see a piece of rebar come ripping out and goring myself through the chest. I don't know if you have the same luck. Carry on, I'll keep watching! 😶
@johnpyle8027 Haha! You have a very good point about the tree, chairs, and fire pit. Someone suggested a golf putting green. I used to love to play golf, but as you correctly pointed out... when do I have time? I keep telling my wife, someday we're just going to live here! 🤠👍 Oh! And my brother takes all that metal to a scrap yard and makes a few bucks. Yeah, there's way better things to do than bury that stuff.
Could you have just knocked the concrete walls of the silo down and just make it all ground level? Mowing around things is a PITA, especially if u have to weedwhack the edges.
@@outdoors-fun Yes, I certainly could have done that. But I like the look of it and the "history" of having something left over from the original farm. It'll start conversations for sure 🤠👍
Ok you moved junk from one spot to another and buried it so you can mow it personally I would have taken down the tree and put the dirt in it and made a garden out of it
@@ScrewdriverTUNING A fish pond!?!? 🤔 I'm gonna have to think about that one. Maybe even with a waterfall feature. You're the first one with that idea.
@@samsdoinstuff I would love to propagate some trout or eatable fish. Waterfalls the key to aeration 🔱. I just finished a natural spring project. I installed two ponds and 3 waterfalls. We set supports for water wheels and controls for crop irrigation and animal water supply. It was a fun project but a very secretive fella.
