looks like I ought to talk to Bill. The pan looks great. It is nearly what I'd need but mine is 3x2, same style, Grimm raised flue. Is it soldered or welded? How much did the pan run if I might ask?

Dave- its welded out of 20 gauge. price was $600.
Well got out a little today!!! Went out snow shoeing for an hour this morning it was only 10* so I figured I would throw on an extra layer ...MISTAKE!!! ooofff worked up a good sweat!!!
Then got lazy for a few hours
decised to go out a get the releaser plumbed into the mainline. 12* with wind is awe-some... I can do it no problem with out the wind....I hate WIND!!!
anyway thats done.
Brought the stuff into the basement to re plumb the head tank. I'll just do a dry fit and put it together outside. much nicer working by the woodstove.
Put up laterals and used my new tubing tool to put up 45 drop lines. working in the woods sucks with all this snow. Cut up a cherry tree that was stuck in another tree. Hopefully Ill finish up my neibors woods in the next few days. Then on to the other neibors then I need to finish my evaporator. I have a lot to do before the season.
Feelin a little uneasy tonight. Pretty much have my lines down to a few hotspots then its going to be continuous tweeking from here to thaw time when I can. Seems weird to be about ready. This week Im in the sugarhouse preparing for next weekends "OPERATION BURN OFF". Then I should be about ready to tap in. Looking foreward to see and hear that big machine in action. Ive got to run duct work to the piggyback and a little finetune on level and hook up the headtank and should be about ready to try it out. Were bearing down on go time. One more month and its #@$!ASTROPHIE SAP! Theron
Theron,
If you want to feel a little harried and pushed to be ready on time, you can come up here for a couple days. I had loads of fun wire tying at 5 below this PM:D
Built 40 drops this afternoon, 30P Leader tees and health spouts, now need to find trees for those.
Quite cold out looks like it will go to 10 below.

Doug- Id love to come up. Ive got tons of stuff Im supposed to do every weekend but like you said If I want to feel up against it I could just skip a weekend. Ive been working in it everyday too. Its a killer. Ill work about an hour and a half and then come back and get warm. What all are you working on now Doug? Theron
DOUG:wait till tomorrow morning..that minus 5 is going to feel balmy. :lol:
