Painting a big picture

Imagine your canvas is 109 feet tall and 250 feet wide.  While you don’t have to worry about painting with too many colors, you still want your work to resemble that of a masterpiece.

Crews from H and H Construction, located in Nebraska, were hired to paint a big picture for MKC. Well, maybe not a picture, but the canvas they are painting is a rather large one! The concrete elevator silos located in Buhler have been undergoing a facelift this past month.   

Repair work began August 20 as the crews repaired and sealed the areas where weather had caused the paint to chip away.  Painting began in September and is expected to be completed towards the end of this month or early November, weather permitting. 

When completed, this masterpiece will provide a picturesque backdrop to the business district located on Main Street in downtown Buhler.
