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!

Re: Christmas for the grandson
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.
