Look on craigslist for some pricing ideas. I would not give much like about 500 for the whole shooting match. there is a lot of work moving them and if you don't have help it will compound that. You will have to scrap all the old sealer off each sheet you take apart for the new sealer. If the floor is that chisel cut stuff it sweeps hard and doesn't like to sweep only 2 directions.
As for the rings I think Keith over at golden grain told me he can make either width corrugation you might need for adding a ring. We put on of their floors in an old bin and I like the way you can sweep any direction easily.
And as already said get the unloading augers up from the ground. Yup the fill and/or concrete will cost you some cash. You will thank yourself each time you load out from it. Or you will complain each time, you didn't have it higher. Dad played cheap on that aspect and now has wished it was up higher . Yup you can dig a hole then bail water out everytime you want to load out or chop ice in the winter, your choice. A tile will drain it for a while till it gets enough fines and the like to fill in with silt.
You do not want those bins to close to the house if you want to not hear fans all night. Lookat the possibility of loading semis when putting them in.
You might decide to load semis when harvesting so you can save time, instead of hauling yourself. Have plenty of room for maneuvering augers much easier to do with lots of room. No fences buildings and such. Also put your load outs close together saves work moving the augers to switch bins. Lots of things to think about. If there is a dryer in the future need room for that and the wet bin and the associated augers and equipment. I've seen bins tucked in by buildings and such then a pain to get to or during wet weather can't get to them to fill or empty. Rome wasn't built in a day but expansion is needed for these things.
Your welcome to look at our set up for food for thought. We are in Owosso just a mile and a half off M-52 east. 989 415 5684 if you want to call.
