Christmas for the grandson

Post by 400brian »

Katy and I built this setup for our 4 year old grandson for Christmas. I built the silo while listening to the Packer game on the Monday night before Christmas. Gifts were going to be opened at 2 pm the next day, so things were right down to the wire. The silo is a corn unit, the roof comes off to fill,and the metal door opens to feed out.

Now back to getting sleds ready!

Here are 2020s Christmas projects. The Tonka truck was given to me in 1964, and was in very poor condition. It required a full resto with new tires, hubcaps and windshield.
