i remember seeing in a few different sugarhouses they had different posters on the wall showing the whole sugar steps and i remember some had something like "what would you pay" and then pointed out all the work that goes into sugaring. have never seen these for sale anywheres tho, anyone know where to get one?

You are referring to 6 posters by Cornell Maple Program and Dr. Brian Chabot in particular. I have them someplace in digital format. I will try to find them and post here.

I have all six, one in my documents and the other 5 in 3 separate emails. The one you refer to was by Gideon Frisbee. Dr Chabot sent it to me when I asked him in 2006. Give me your email and I will send them to you. I have all six printed up an 12x18 posters and had them laminated. They hang in my sugarhouse. The others are about tapping, forest management, making maple, 5 reasons to buy pure maple and climate. The how much... is in word97, and the others are all in PDF. Anyone else wanting them please wait, I will figure out how to get them into this thread in a few days.

I paid about $3.00 each to have them made up at a print shop. 11x17 laminated in 12x18 pouches. They will last a long time. If you wanted them in 8.5 x 11 you could just print them on your computor and get them laminated if you don't have your own laminater. Laminaters are quite cheap, I bought one at walmart and it works real well. They have them in their stationary dept., I think it was priced in the mid teens. Mine is made by 3M, it will only do up to 9" wide, that is why I had mine done up by a print shop. You could also just go to a place that does color copying, with an 8.5 x 11, have it blown up to 11x17 and then laminated, but I thought a little clarity might be lost in the copy and blow up.

thank you, yes that was the posters i was thinking of. might be about time to update them a bit maybe, as is change the wording to talk a bit about the months of work spent to install and repair tubing systems before the season and to wash them after the season. i feel kinda like my customers would think i was full of crap with the work involved since i have no buckets to gather it all just flows into tanks so no work involved in there eyes! but realy the work is in the months before the season!
