a friend of mine just purchased a used 10 ton grain bin, its about 6ft in dia, and about 20 to 25ft tall, its the type that is up on legs with a funnel shape at the bottom. the people said that when they put it up they assembeled it on the ground and stood it up with a comealong hooked to the top of the barn. well since then there has been other things built around it, so there isnt realy any good way to lay it down to dissasemble it. the plan we came up with is to set up some masons scaffolding next to it, and unbolt it peice by peice and lower the sections down with a block and tackle or something of that nature. we figure with the scaffold set up on one side it will give us a good platform to work from to lower the sections down, we will still need to use a ladder on the opposite side to remove the bolts and stuff. this sound like a doable plan? around here (connecticut) there aint many grain bins so not too many people have ever done this sorta thing, even tho we have a pretty good idea of how we are gona do it, i figured i would mention it here since it seems someone always has usefull little bits of helpfull info to add to any of my ideas. thanks guys, any help is apreciated since it aint grain country around here this is our best guess as to how to tackle the task.
