What this is

I'm new to blogging, at least for myself, but my husband and I are starting out on a journey that I'd like to keep a record of. Here seems as good a place as any to keep it.

Big Bend Bins!

Well, after losing our $ and our building in either a scam or to economical bad luck, we decided to redirect ourselves and make something good out of something bad.

Four years ago or so, when we were driving back from a trip to our property, we were noticing the grain bins out in farm fields and thought that these would make really neat living structures; kinda like a metal village. (Little did we know that Buckminster Fuller proposed this in 1941, the clever guy.)

After the steel building debacle, we decided to focus on grain bins and today we bought a group of them. They are still standing in a field in Nebraska, but they are ours and will be taken down by professional grain bin strikers, loaded onto pallets and then trucked down south! Now the fun of figuring out how to place them on the property, exactly how they will be used. (We've planned it roughly out.)
