Had a big old 2 story house here that we used to fill the downstairs rooms with corn years ago. Grandpa used to fill it with ear corn, then we filled it with shelled corn for a while before tearing it down. That was back in the mid- late 80's
We did the same thing with an old two story house that had been built around a log cabin. Filled that sucker to the roof with ear corn from a hole in the roof. We chopped holes in the centers of the upstairs bedrooms so it would flow down to the bottom. Man that was work cleaning it out.
We were getting ready to burn it years later, and I climbed up the narrow twisting kitchen staircase for one last look. When my head got level with the second story floor, I turned to my right and was about two feet from a coiled up snake that was looking back at me. I squalled and fell down the stairs, and started slinging gasoline.
I've done a lot of hard work more time than money; picked ear corn in the crib long after it was t done any more, kinda enjoyed shelling out the crib despite the rats, dust, and shoveling......
But dealing with ear corn in multi levels of multi rooms of a house, man that is going above and beyond! Thanks for sharing. How did you get airflow, open and close the windows? :
