[QUOTE="whitewing, post: 819545, member: 14975"] Wow, you guys really know your stuff and have given me some great ideas.....I really appreciate the time put into these responses. Also, after reading some of the comments, I realized that this particular thread had zero pics of my silo. Sorry, that's my fault because I posted them in another thread but will also add them here. This is an in-ground silo, a trench basically that will have an entrance point and an exit on the far end. It's supposed to slope gradually downhill but I've not actually verified that yet. I suspect I need to do so before starting. Freezing? No problem here...the lowest I've ever seen it is about 60F. Water table? In my area I think it's at about 300 feet. :D Having said that, when it rains, it pours. Looking at the soils I'm working with in this particular hillside, I'd say the majority of the material is red clay, say 70% or so, 25% sand and the remainder would be gravel. Now the pics: [img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/Whitewing_album/100_2676.jpg[/img] [img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/Whitewing_album/100_2678.jpg[/img] [img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/Whitewing_album/100_2681.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
