New Evaporator, Assembly required

[Dennis H.]

Well my new evaporator arrived today and it was priced just right, Free.

There will be some assembly required to get it to work1:rolleyes:

At least you got the airtight arch front.

:-)

[TapME]

I have one just like it.

[Russell Lampron]

Better get busy. Sugaring season is just around the corner.

You tappin next week russ?

Or you mean the bigger corner.
I'll be down to get your ro.

[Dennis H.]

Heading in the morning after work to pick up some steel and supplies to make the base for the drum to sit on.
Once I have that made then I will concentrate on making the angle iron ring that the pan will sit on, then the door, then the grates, then the ......etc.
The list goes on and on.:rolleyes:

I should have it done by March, I am just not sure which year!

I meant the bigger corner. It is only 4.5 months or less away depending on the weather.

The RO is staying where it is unless we do a marathon thing like we did last year. The 2 states in one day thing was kind of fun.

Did The Governor give you back your pig tail to connect the RO?

What's happened to the governor, did he just drop off the face of the earth??

[TapME]

Are the maple God's are holding him for ransom?

[royalmaple]

Funny, I just emailed him last night. Figured it was time to rattle his cage.

He was working a ton this summer and also got the fever again pretty bad. His new dredge got the best of him I think.

Or he might be laughing at us since he hit the mother lode.

I'm ready for technology. Just need one small component to fall into place, budget.

[TapME]

I here that about the budget, just had to put in a new well. Not finished yet still digging the trench and don't you know it's raining to beat the band. I don't know about you others but this is the first rain of any significance in 4 months. Sure has been dry aroud here. Hope to have the pipe in by tonite. May need some scuba gear to do it.

[Dennis H.]

Was able to get out and get the stuff needed to make the legs.
I welded nuts into the bottom so I could use bolts to level the evap when I set it up.

[WESTVIRGINIAMAPLER]

Did the governor make any syrup last year, he had no motorcycle wreck for an excuse this time??

[royalmaple]

Technically yes he did, but only here with me on a few occasions. Didn't light a fire at his sugarhouse. He's running latterals this weekend, serious upgrades taking place. Now he'll only have about 17 truckloads of used tubing at the sugarhouse to put out. Gonna put Maplehill sugarhouse right on the map. High production in 2008.

He even broke in his 600gph ro over here.

I have started a new thread on my new evap project.:confused:
