After nearly thirty years of disrepair, they are more than likely flooded out. The silos that haven’t been refurbished have endured years of ruin and decay since the Cold War. Unless you want to just keep the “roof” open at all times. Your wallet is lighter and the job is done.įor the rest of us who’ll never see that amount of cash in one lifetime, we’ve got some options - but they’ll take work. Thankfully, those on the higher end have already been remodeled into beautiful homes capable of withstanding a nuclear blast. Say you found the silo and it’s for sale - it’s likely going for somewhere in the range of 0k and million.
