Casey- You do a bigger operation than anyone Ive ever heard of your age. Thats great your going to have that many taps. Good thing your going to have that ro. Theron

Wayside- Its always a work in progress. My stuff is always half torn apart. Theres some trees I always look at as your going into Troy from towanda. They're on the steep banks each side of rt 6. Bunch of nice trees and I always think how fun it would be to tube them. Some might be impossable becouse of it being so steep but theres quite a lot of them and the tube would go straight up and down. Theron

therron i helped i old timmer hang tubing last year the one hill side was so steep you had to lower your self down it but almost half his taps are on this "cliff " so he said if he didn't tap them he wouldn't have any sap to boil guess it all comes down to how bad you want it

But can you run them back to your house Theron. They might require a few lifters

over the last couple of days i finished hauling the firewood from down the road and i put some roofing on the sugarhouse.we had some rain so that slowed things down abit..yesterday,was a washout.
i plan on hunting deer on and off over the next couple of weeks but,i,ll also do as much sugaring stuff as i can if need be i,ll work in the garage or put up some lights to keep going.
i don,t have to work my regular job much next week..thats one big plus.i work monday/tuesday until about noon 30 then i,am done for the day and on tuesday for the rest of the week..iy,ll be hunting and sugaring. :D

Jerry- I think theres probly a couple hundred feet of elevation difference from Troy to Roseville. Plus its like 20 miles. Can you do that with two pipe ladders and a big enough vac pump?

You throw enough money my way and I will make it work for you

Matter of fact I am calculating right now, but remember you don't need a big pump. LOL

Hey now Troy is my neck of the woods...eventually I'll need all the sap I can get, so those trees are spoken for. Nice try though!

Wow Nate you have expanded a ton in the past few years. I don't think I'll ever have that many taps esecialy not at your age.
I just finished making a handle for my scoop. I made it out of spalted maple which is when it starts to rot and has cool patterns in it but it is still solid the piece of wood actully came from a pallet that was destined for the evaporator at my dads friends house.
