we farmed together many yrs. built our house ourselves. but, will never forget the time we were erecting a wet bin/holding tank for corn/grain before it was fed into a drying system. the tank was like 10'ft across, corragated metal round shape. the top was put together lst, then we put 4 ft sections on and raised the roof. put another 4 ft section on and jacked it up higher. at times i was 'trapped inside.' untill it was raised 4 ft for the next row.
one of the kids, came and said, 'dad, phone'. and it was at a pt i was trapped inside. i told him, okay, go answer the phone, but come right back. an hr later, he was still gone. and i was going 'bananas' trapped in a round, metal 10ft circle, in the heat of summer. after a while, i picked up a hammer and started beating on the side of it.
to make a long story short, cartoons had grabbed him on a sat. morning. and he was afraid to let me out, till i promised i would not kill him. funny all these yrs. later.
