silo foundation = sunken firepit

We literally stumbled upon this circular silo foundation last fall after our field was mowed for the first time. It is down near all of our old buildings where it was the hub of farming activities of decades past. Following the big blizzard, we encircled this mysterious area about 10 feet around. Before the big blizzard we managed to cut back the grass and clear an area for a fire pit which was flush with ground level.

After our barn fell from the blizzard, we had large machinery on site to deconstruct the barn. We asked the excavator to scoop some of the earth out so we could transform this into a fire pit. Now the silo foundation is a circular bench that can comfortably sit many friends around a large fire. Coupled with our chain saw that's getting a workout a few times a month, this area will definitely be put to good use for many years to come!
