Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins.

I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) including once when my dad hired a few of my friends to help out.  We stupidly went drinking the night before so suffered incredibly the next day.

As well, when I was in Grade 12, my dad had a pretty serious accident when a bin sweep caught some rubber lining under the grain and jumped up, breaking his arm and injuring his face.  Had it been more serious and hurt him worse or even knocked him out, he might’ve died.

Which is all a long way to say that I hope this is a successful endeavour for the owners who have found a great way to transition to life after farming.  And I hope it provides much enjoyment to campers looking for an opportunity to have a cool, unique experience.

But sleeping in a grain bin – even one modified with windows and screen doors – isn’t super appealing to me! 🙂
