Quote from newspaper article:
" 'I went looking for help and I called a manufacturer of grain bins to tell them what I was planning,' Stuart said. 'They laughed.'
It wasn't the first time the company had heard from someone who wanted to convert a silo. "But most people come to their senses, they told me," he said.
The Stuarts, however, pressed on.
They cut out places for windows, built a second story in each silo, installed wiring and plumbing. And they added insulation, using an expanding spray-on foam.
"We treated them like giant Thermoses,' Stuart said."
