Put a concrete floor in the sugarhouse and that delayed our start but finally hung 40 buckets yesterday with 1.5 gallons/day average.

Good luck this season Merryall -- post some pix of the floor and sugarhouse if you can.

That you'll need it-but good luck with the sugaring season. Sure is off to a strong start.

Merryall, I came by last year to check out your sugar house and it looked good then, sounds even better with the new floor. Been tapped for a couple of weeks up on Long Mountain, only running 20 buckets this year but the runs have been good and the sugar content has been high. I have finished off 19 pints this alread which is more than all of last year. Good luck, looks like the weather will be good for the next few day.

Just curious to know if your the one who use propane for your 2x3?

G&D - No, I'm using wood but do finish with propane. Noah's Ark - I'm glad to hear the sugar content is better than last year. We boiled a bit tonight but didn't finish - should have my first calculations tomorrow and will let you know what we're getting. Stop by if you're on this side of the ridge!
