[AT] OT: How to rescue the dome from a silo?

[James Yost]

Mat,

Hire some Amish fellers to tear it down. I had an old
one I gave to the Amish. They came in on Friday
evening around 6pm, set up there scaffold, had the
roof on the ground and half the staves down. Saturday
morning they were in there at 8am and was done cleaned
up by 11:30am.
