Please keep us posted as this is a very small world and we all help where we can.;)
Well I think everyone should be required to do a min of four years in the military, but if we made that a law this would not be a free country now would it... Tell your son I said Semper Fi!!! I know how you feel at this point I think my sister knows more about sugaring than I do, I have to read up on this stuff... No worries, I am sure with all the great people on here and the leters and e-mails my sister in law has me doing we will come up with enough supplies, labor, and know how to get her through the senior project... She should start lifegaurding at the town beach pretty soon, so she will hopefully make some more money to get us some more supplies, all I have to do is try to keep up with her... Just the offer to help is good enough for her...
Thank You Very Much!!!

We are still contacting local business, and suppliers to try to get donations and discounts... If you know where we can get food grade 275 or 325 caged totes for sap storage really cheap or free, that would help as i think when we hit her 250 taps she is going to need some storage for it...
She didn't want me to ask for help at all then she realized that everything is so expensive, and she could not afford everything she needed so as much as she hate to ask for help she came to the understanding that this project was not going to happen with out help from others!!! I agree I never would have thought in todays world that we would have anyone offer to help!!!

I would like to send you one complete with a preheater. I will just need some details about the contour on the top of the pans and the hood. Please pm me with some photos and shipping info.
Jim
Thank You Very Much!!!
Ok If you need measurements or more info other than what i sent you please let me know and I will get it right out to you... I talked to my sister in-law to get her to explain to me what you are talking about, from what you are saying, she would not need to buy a float box??? I dont know I am lost!!! Anyway Thank You Very Much again!!!

I have contacted Bascoms in NH and have asked if an account could be setup in your name so anyone interested can send in a donation for your needs. I will let you all know as soon as I get a reply back. I would be proud to contribute to it. Good luck on this project with your sister in law.
To be Honest I almost thought that an america where people helped out other people was a thing of the past, but this tight nit community here has proven me wrong...

My sister in-law is Victoria, my In-Laws asked that I do not put her full name and addy on the internet as she is 17 and in high school...
I dont even know what to say, She is at a loss for words as she too did not think there was anyone left in america that would help another, besides her parents, bro and sis, and her brother in-law...
All I can say is Thank You
