Where to Buy Partial Rolls Of Tubing?

[valleyman]

I'm looking to buy 100' or so of drop line tubing to run to my 5gal buckets on the ground. I can only find it in 500' rolls.

I only have 35 taps, 10 of which I want to run tubing to the buckets so I dont need a whole lot.

If theres a big sugarhouse close by you may beable to get it from them. Or another small opp. that will split it with you. Keith

it's a long ride but in am on the CT, RI border

[valleyman]

I just looked up your town. 2 hr drive. Let me see if I can find it closer. If I'm in he area sometime, maybe I can stop by and see your operation.

I dont know about you, but I'm getting anxious like I'm waiting for opening day of fishing season! I read a post of another MA guy in Agawam who made a Qt last week. Thats all I needed to hear.

Hang on to it. You're gonna need more for next year when the sugaring bugs bites. Or sell it to your neighbors when they decide to start sugaring after they see how much fun you are having.

I said to my self the I AM going to build my sugar shack this spring. yes Ill need more but I'm in Vt all the time. Yes I already made 2 QTs w/ 18 taps. did a test with the warm weather. But will be out taping more in a few weeks.

Buy the full roll, in time you will need the rest of it. You can get a roll for $ 45 to $50, so not much to spend anyways.

[valleyman]

Yeah I know. I just had to explain to my wife about 160.00 this week. She fights me all the way. It could be worse. I can be into it as much as you guys! :D

If I had the real estate, I would be.

Get the 45.00 from her, let her think it is going towards a gift for her. Let her open the box of tube when it shows up. Will inshure you get plenty of time out side to go hang it!!!!

[WESTVIRGINIAMAPLER]

Just tell her 500' is the smallest quanity you can get and you have to have it to tap. You are telling here the truth, at least this time!!!!! LOL!

i sent ya a pm valleyman, we can work something out if ya want

[valleyman]

You guys crack me up. Too funny. You know where I'm coming from.

I do have a tree house in a big red maple. That may work out perfect. I'll be that much closer to my trees.

I bought a 100 ft of blue semi ridgid from the guy in town. He measured it by paces and then put a little more out to be sure. Charged 15 cents a foot and I eneded up with 150 ft so it cost all of 10 cents a foot. Last year I bought 50 ft og white D&G tube and the guys mother measured the roll with a tap measure and then told him how many rounds to take off. He was a little bit out that way to my favor also.
