Century-old grain silo undergoes restoration on homesteader property

A 29-foot-tall cement grain silo towers over a Greensferry Road property just south of the Spokane River on the Coeur d'Alene side of the Coeur d'Alene/Post Falls border. A curious hawk circles above, keeping a watchful eye on Patrick Record as he finalizes a restoration project to replace the cedar shakes on the nearly 100-year-old silo. Barn swallows playfully soar from birdhouse to pole top while a sweet-tempered Great Pyrenees rolls about in the grass. A nearby rooster crows. Leaves and branches cast shadows on the lawn in the peaceful Friday morning sunshine.

We enjoy the same music (Hooptown 101!), and her contrarian tendencies make her a true Wild Card in most situations. If she disagrees with me about anything, she usually just replies “NOPE!” and I’m only left to guess as to why I’m so wrong.
