Grain Bin Getaway

Round cabin at dusk with warm lights, balcony, trees, and outdoor chairs in front

"You can really tell how much love and detail went into this silo conversion; the use of space is brilliant and the finishes are top-notch. I was blown away by the creative use of old bowling alley lanes for the spiral staircase and countertops—such a cool, unique feature! "

This home wasn’t someone else’s dream: it was mine. I’d always wanted to transform a grain bin or shipping containers into an AirBnb.


First, I found the perfect land for a rental property. It was 90 minutes from Omaha or Kansas City, and had a secluded lake and nearby trails. There was land nearby that someone could stay on a camper.


Next, I moved a 24-foot grain bin from northern Nebraska to Missouri by tearing it apart, moving it on trailers piece by piece, then reassembling. 

Spiral wooden staircase viewed from below, with a skylight at the center.

CHALLENGE 1: CURVES

Circular domed ceiling with radial beams and a glowing orange light at the center, above a construction area

Most carpentry jobs involve straight lines, but the grain bin was a cylinder.


This meant I had figure out how to cut curved wall plates for framing and curve wood to make it a circle for the ceiling.


I also used this same secret formula (calculating the circumference) to build a curved staircase, vaulted ceiling, and cantilever deck. My thoughtful process and planning made it work. 

Large beige circular ring on a tiled floor, with a red triangular piece inside and tools nearby.

CHALLENGE 2: Layout

Modern loft interior with open staircase, gray tile floor, wooden beam, and black kitchen island

With only a 24-foot diameter and a 20-foot side wall before it vaulted up, another challenge was making the small space functional.


We had with the lofted bedroom area and full bathroom upstairs


Open layout: kitchen and seating area of main floor looking over the lake 


"We appreciated that the space was very functional. The tall ceilings upstairs made the space feel so large."

"The quality of the homes build I noted too because no detail was spared and everything had excellent craftsmanship behind it! I hope to have the chance to visit again!"

"The Silo itself was absolutely beautiful and the kitchen island was huge. So much space in the bathroom and the light coming in from the top of the silo illuminated the whole space. What a cozy gem!!

About Me

September 8, 2026
Hi, I'm Alex. I come from a family of entrepreneurs. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to own my own business, and that dream became a reality in 2022. I’m not just a yes man. As an active real estate investor, I can give you suggestions to increase your home’s value if you choose to sell it one day. I’ve built relationships with contractors and realtors, so I can quickly find a trusted resource for whatever you need. I love old Ford trucks, hot sauce, soccer, mini Highland cows, Moscow Mules, skiing, lifting weights, chicken, Adam Sandler movies, cedar, and the smell of freshly cut grass. My favorite projects are the ones that are challenging and out of the ordinary. If you have a unique request, I can make your dream a reality.
