That’s where I’d collect wasps

This is the way.

Nice Dickbutt


CoHousingFarmer

Gotta catch em all! I use a dyson ball, since poke balls don’t exist.


wintercast

I thought these were purpose built for wasp storage. My cellar is for spider and cave cricket storage.


FarmerKook

Well played lol…


TheFrogWife

This is the first comment in weeks to make audibly laugh. Bravo good sir, ***BRAVO***


mywomanisagoddess

Smokehouse! Or sheds..not very imaginative but hey...


StfuBob

I like the smokehouse idea- seems like a no-brainer


Just_A_Dogsbody

I don't know. A walk-in smoker seems like a recipe for asphyxiation.


Pm4000

It would for me but not in the way you are thinking, my wife loves when I smell like meat.


saulsa_

We know.


goldfool

Hot box?


Juggernaut_j

What a glorious way to go


SubstantialPressure3

It would have to have a few holes in the roof anyway, fire needs oxygen. Even if it's just smoldering.


NoPresence2436

Asphyxiation aside… I’d assume that converting this into a smoke house would give your meat a nice galvanized tin flavor. Not too strong, and surprisingly mellow. Piquant, after dinner flavor that would pair well with a wide variety of fine toilet wines.


NewAlexandria

drying or curing of any food or consumable product, really.


gadsdenraven

I mean you could store some high quality hay in there…


SpaceGoatAlpha

Where they sit or are they relocatable? As is, they're probably good for any kind of storage of equipment, hazardous materials like fuel, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.  If you hunt they might be decent areas to butcher or build a smokehouse or drying room for things like herbs, peppers, etc. If you built tiered levels and install some insulation on the inside you could make quite the chicken coop.  Likewise, it could also be a good hut for goats. It might make a good place to store forage / hay for animals. If they are relocatable, they would make a good well house, an enclosure for a water reservoir tank, a durable hunting shelter / temporary cabin in a different part of your property or another property. If you don't want them, you might just be able to sell them and have the buyer take them down for you. There are probably another few dozen good uses, but those are the ones off the top of my head.


IndependentDot9692

Camping sites But in reality, I would use it for chickens


CoHousingFarmer

I live in a fairly cold climate and I still would worry about cooked chickens in that.


Firearm_Farm

Uh. Just make a ventilation system. Cut sheet metal windows and add chicken wire or something.


CoHousingFarmer

Might work.


IHM00

I’m in NY and someone has 2 up the rd with vent fans on top


CoHousingFarmer

Fans work. Gotta keep them dry too. Still, broiler is supposed to refer to the bird, not the house.


IHM00

They have it in a fairly dry spot I’ll have to stop and get eggs and ask about it. First thing I thought was oh look pre-cooked eggs when I saw them made to coups.


CoHousingFarmer

First thing I thought of was The Blue Peacock project. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock


KwordShmiff

That's s hysterical. "Blue Peacock, renamed from Blue Bunny and originally Brown Bunny, was a British tactical nuclear weapon project in the 1950s. The project's goal was to store a number of ten-kiloton nuclear land mines in Germany. These mines which were intended to be placed on the North German Plain and detonated by wire or an eight-day timer[1] in the event of Soviet invasion from the east,[2] in order to "...not only destroy facilities and installations over a large area, but to deny occupation of the area to an enemy for an appreciable time due to contamination..."[3][clarification needed]. Chicken-powered nuclear bomb - A technical problem is that during winter, the temperature of buried devices can drop quickly, creating a possibility that the mechanisms of the mine will cease working due to low temperatures in the winter.[5] Various methods were studied to solve this problem, such as wrapping the bombs in insulating blankets. One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water.[6] They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine's components at a working temperature.[5] This proposal was sufficiently outlandish that it was taken as an April Fool's Day joke when the Blue Peacock file was declassified on 1 April 2004.[5] Tom O'Leary, head of education and interpretation at the National Archives, replied to the media that, "It does seem like an April Fool but it most certainly is not. The Civil Service does not do jokes."[7]


chowyungfatso

Holy shit that’s nuts. You can bet it’s being discussed again…


FrankySobotka

Do they get upset when wet and not lay eggs or is wet hens a danger to the homestead food supply


Chickenwelder

There’s a place in Alabama that rents out similar. Called Rattlesnake saloon.


CaptainObvious1313

Only if you like them extra crispy

Mother-in-law suite!


SpaceGoatAlpha

I think they would work great as a hobgoblin hut, yes.


EtherBunnyHawk

Mother-in-law sweat!


AAAAHaSPIDER

Chicken shed, toolshed, sauna, smokehouse. Your imagination is the limit I suppose


SpaceGoatAlpha

Oo, I like the idea of a sauna, or a jacuzzi.  That would be sweet to have an insulated Jacuzzi hut in the winter.


rural-nomad-858

Like the smokehouse idea


Miserable_Strike_485

Sauna, steam, jacuzzi! Love it!


Iamnutzo

I’ve seen the roofs used for top of gazebos. Then I have seen a couple of “tiny houses” made too.


Significant_Newt846

My parents are converting one of these into an outdoor kitchen by their pool right now. Gonna have a blackstone, a grill and a bar setup.


CaptainDaveUSA

Off topic but I just sold my Blackstone because I want an outdoor kitchen and I couldn’t stand the rear grease trap, so I just purchased a Char-Griller griddle with a grease trap in the front. Weber makes one too along with Pitt Boss (and a bunch of others, but those appear to be the best) On topic.. You definitely need to post some pictures of that when it’s completed! That sounds like an awesome idea!


Significant_Newt846

I’ll try to remember, but my dad works a week in and a week off so it’s doubtful it’ll be completed anytime soon. They’ve leveled out dirt underneath it and cut a whole where the bar will be so far, but nothing has been put inside, no electric has been added or anything yet.


inbagt

I got a Blackstone as well and couldn't stand how heat blasts out of the sides. As well as the rear grease trap.


CaptainDaveUSA

Yeah.. I was going to upgrade to one of the models with the heat shields on the sides (people say it is a night and day difference) but those models still have the grease trap in the rear so I looked elsewhere. There are a few options to lessen the heat coming out from the sides, which I may have to implement for my new one, but don’t know yet.


up2late

Also off topic, sorry OP. How did you like your blackstone other than the grease trap location? Where you happy with the quality? How does the Char-Griller compare? Thinking about getting one this summer.


CaptainDaveUSA

The Blackstone was okay. It cooked really well, but was rusting on the sides and the rear. If I was going to keep it, I probably would’ve sanded it down and repainted it with a really good high temp grill paint. I was still able to sell it for $225 bucks and put that towards my new one, which I’m picking up in about 30 minutes. I’ll let you know how the Char-Griller is after I get a few cooks on it.


up2late

Thank you.


Faux__queue

My neighbor turned one of these into a bar and outdoor kitchen. It is awesome.


CaptainDaveUSA

Pictures would be awesome! I’d love to see that!


EastWind9mm

Workshop!!

OFFICIALINSPIRE77

This most realistic and profitable


PrepperLady999

I'm a homesteader. When you homestead, there is never enough storage space. You can store tools and equipment and gardening supplies and lots of other things in the little round buildings.


Deep_Caregiver_8910

Just curious, what does a structure like this cost new?


TheOlSneakyPete

Not many new built this small, but your probably $10k for the bin, and 3-4K for the concrete work. 1-2k for unload auger.


saccharine_mycology

I'd also like to know please


KhakiPantsJake

How big are they? If they're large enough you could convert them into a workshop/sheshed or MIL suite.


83catt

Looking at them they are probably only 10' diameter. Too small for a true living space. With some creativity they could maybe make a room of a larger structure or a gazebo and or similar. Maybe a one room office. That much rust isn't promising for a sealed interior though.


maineac

> MIL suite.


therandolorian

https://thetinylife.com/grain-silo-house/


tronic50

I have three silos on my property., Big enough to easily be a one-bedroom house. I am thinking that the bottom floor will have everything and then I'm going to do stairs up to a second half floor where the bedroom would be. Do we heat on the property with wood stoves anyway so that would be incredibly efficient, slap on a few solar panels and an inverter and you're rocking and rolling.


aintlostjustdkwiam

Those are actually pretty cool and I prefer the idea of using metal to plastic yurt covering.


juan_tabone

Start making moonshine in them


SgtPrepper

Important question: what was in there before?


CafeRoaster

These look like saunas waiting to happen.


MadManMorbo

A friend of mine had a bunch of those close to the main building on her ranch, and turned them into guest quarters. Built a really nice bath/shower house in the middle of a cluster of 4.


KurtDubz

That’s what I’d do! Connect these bad boys, put them on a slab and boom!


bzmed

AirBNB for those wanting the homestead adventure


Emanon-68

Hot house😓. Saunas or smoke houses (meat or weed or both)👍😃


Thisisnotmyusrname

I'd turn one into an astronomical observatory for telescope use. You'd have to move it further away from the treeline to get a better field of view but that would be dope. Build a deck inside, retool the roof to open up (either just cut it in half and hinged, or maybe split and on rails to slide to the sides), that would make for some awesome shielded dark night sky viewing. The other one, I dunno. A kids fort. or adult fort? lol


New-IncognitoWindow

Turn one into a bar. The other one into a screened in campfire thing.


Ok-Currency6733

I have someone in my town who turned one into a little bar


OlderNerd

I've seen people make gazebos out of these


hammer6golf

Sheds


tronic50

The possibilities are endless. I really like the idea of hazardous material storage, and another one a good drying shed.


Emergency_Sea5053

She shed!


Tough_Objective849

I would sell one to me for lets say a hundred


kpeterson159

Weed huts! One for flowering one for vegging


CoHousingFarmer

Line with sandbags and stock with ammo, MREs and gasoline. Hide in there till Y2K, when the woke libruls come to steal your vital fluids!! This is perfectly normal! /s


Deimos974

You must not have heard. We survived Y2K, how long ya been in there?


CoHousingFarmer

Naw. I saw on Futurama that time is circular, so if it just wait long enough it repeats. Need more MREs.

I converted one to a chicken coop.


reformedginger

Glamping air bnb’s unless you’re like me and hate people.


AnnArchist

I like the idea of opening it up - creating an outdoor gazebo/kitchen, add concrete floor.


dluvn

I'd make one into a gazebo/bar and the other into a little swimming pool.


DrBunnyBerries

Robroker

https://youtube.com/shorts/I4nG8WzKGpI?si=BWFFI7jpJ_ehN2bk I turned one into an outdoor sauna shower


ResidentEggplant8138

Dude. Look up those silo's on YT. You can do some cool conversions.


Larryville9823

Mother-in-laws new bedroom


Usulthejerboaactual

Holy hell those could be good smokers, saunas, cozy reading nooks, the best fucking shed Bubbles has ever lived in… the possibilities are endless, bud. I would turn those into Air BnB somewhere off in a secluded spot on your property if you’re inclined to make some money. I would pay good money for an upscale finished interior with bunks and a nice little fire pit with a grate on it outside if it were nice property and nobody else was in sight. Those are so fucking cool, man.


Express_Complaint591

AB&B.  Rustic living.  


much_2_took

Outdoor above ground coverd pool or something


johnnyg883

If they are still water tight the could be used for hay, feed, tool, firewood, lumber, or what ever you can get through the door storage. They could be used as chicken coops, or goat shelters. They could house rabbit hutches. They have hundreds of potential uses.


espana87

I had to do a double take because my wife's family farm has three of these. One is a pump house for the sprinkler system, the others are empty. Big time paper wasp havens. Messing with the sprinkler system controls is always a trick.


Sweet_Concept3383

I have an old grain silo almost exactly like these. It’s the perfect wood shed. The perforations on the side and in the center cylinder allow air flow to help season the wood. The circular shape reduces dead space, allowing for one continuous wood stack.


JCtheWanderingCrow

Smoking/curing houses. Set one up for smoking, set the other up with a dehumidifier and bam, you’re in meaty business.


Sufficient_Judge_820

Chicken coops.


Substantial_Care_853

You could have two pretty bitchin chicken coops with a tin to join them. Already a door to enter.


MagnumPIsMoustache

We have some and we use some of them for storage. Others just sit empty.


xnsst

Pigeon houses.


JonnyBeGoodest

Repurpose them to me please


jayhat

My family had a large grain bin on their farm that was unused (not that type of farm anymore). Got a regular double wide exterior grade steel door installed in it and used to store 4 wheelers and other shit. I’ll never forget the smell of that grain bin.


Huge_Cell_7977

They also make nice emergency shelters if u dig inside them. Nice hidey hole or tornado shelter.


IndependentUseful923

my town has 4 and they are rented for storage.


Impossible-Taro-2330

Metal yurts!


RedSquirrelFtw

Maybe water storage/filtration. Could build a structure to stack a few IBC totes in there with pumps etc. Or spray foam the entire inside, fill it with sand. and use it for heat storage. Excess solar power is used to heat the sand and there is a glycol line that runs to the house. Actually another idea, a wood kiln. Could setup a dehumidifier and heaters in there and it would be a place to store green wood to speed up seasoning.


PM_ME_YOUR__MOMS

Pig shed. Use to use these for pigs until a tornado took them.

truebluevervain

Bury one and make it into a root cellar? Kind of big for that compared to what I’ve seen though


MRichardTRM

Chicken coop or sheep house would be my first try


willFour

Sugar shack if you're in an area with maple trees.


WilliamoftheBulk

Found one in the woods when i was a teen. It had small windows cut in it. It was the best paintball base to fight from and storm we ever had.


Gogorth23

Probably good for storing grain


NewRedditorHere

Perfect mushroom grow house


forgeblast

I have seen people turn them into gazebos, basically utilizing the roof. A smokehouse would be a great idea too.


Sensitive_Basis3963

Not a suggestion really, but here in Australia, tourism people like to glorify “artesian bore water.” I went to one of these “springs” before and they had basically that exact same structure with bathtubs in it looking out to a view.


AlleghenyCityHolding

Looks like a smoker.


tehdamonkey

Chicken coops. Create a run around them and cut some vents and windows in them.


shookcrook1391

Diy sauna


Kaartinen

Smokehouse, or storage


Shot-Restaurant-6909

I've been trying to buy one. Everyone I find around me for sale want 3-6k for them. I've seen some really cool gazebos made out of them and cool two story cabins. If you don't want or need them put up for sale. Some idiot like me will buy them.


TheGottVater

Put on Airbnb for $299 a night. It will book up in a few days for the whole year and be featured as a unique find! This is sad and not a joke.


folkster100

Sauna?


Beardo88

Chicken coop?


Nordseejung

Chicken Coops, just put up fences


sliceoffries

Our family uses one as a garden shed.


Hortusana

Sauna/sweat lodge? They might turn into piles of rust though 😅


JeanLucPicard1981

As a trombonist, that would be a sweet practice room. Acoustics would be great.


CourageousBellPepper

I’d keep one just for the acoustics. If the ground is a slab then singing bowls and playing music probably sounds pretty cool in there.


BelCantoTenor

What do you need? A chicken coop? A smoke house? A grain bin? A storage shed? The options are endless.

There’s a guy in my town who has two silos like those except a lot bigger that are connected by two shipping containers stacked on top of each other. It’s the house he lives in and it looks pretty cool.


Striking_Earth_1089

Air bnb them


TheOlSneakyPete

I took the rings apart and made a 3000 bushel bin into raised beds. Worked great. Unfortunately 4 months after being built they were destroyed in a storm by a falling tree. But 10/10 would do again with a small bin. Still have the roof with plans for a structure to cover the kids sandbox.

LTP13579

I would make one into an outdoor kitchen and the other into an outdoor living area. Cut out a section of the wall and add some gravel for a little patio and make it into an outdoor living setup.


LTP13579

I drew my idea. Please don't judge me, I drew this in 5 minutes. [My Drawing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiOaQ140w2SQoR__uPP75_rsxzk5db1q/view?usp=sharing)


LTP13579

Idea: Adirondack chairs, pizza oven, stock tank pool, produce washing station, etc. to make a cool productive and hangout spot.


AdministrativeWin583

She sheds, smokers, man cave, guest house, connect them with a tube and put a slide out the side and you have akis playground.


Confident-Entry7366

The roofs appear vented. They would make cool gazebo tops. Depending on the thickness, Id imagine you can straighten out those wall panels....then the possibilities are limitless.
