Chris, room for more AC tractors!
Jason,
Folks,
Maybe room for the ones I already have!:)
Should be a nice addition to the property.

Chris
Wow, I love it!
Chris, That is going to be one beautiful and functional building when you get it completed.
Thanks guys, One of those things you probably will only do once.
Regards,
Chris
Nice build Chris.
On another front, I have a question. You have bees and do honey. How do you keep the bees away when you pack syrup? My brother just got into bee keeping, he now has 2 hives (had one which got big, so with the help of a large bee keeper near here, he split it and now has 2).
My brother's 2 hives are about1/2 mile away from my sugarhouse. I bottled up more maple syrup 4 days in the past week. I never had bees in the sugarhouse before but on all 4 days I had bees flying around in the sugarhouse and landing on surfaces very close to the syrup. Also, I mix syrup in a 6-7 gal tank (DE) with up to 6 gal of syrup in a batch. When the tank got pumped down there were dead bees (7-8) in the bottom of the tank.
How do you keep bees out of the syrup?
Dave,
Thanks.
I never really had any problems with bees around when canning syrup. At this time I dont have bees on my property. Our daughter is now doing the beekeeping about 5 miles from me. She has 5 colonies. 4 were new swarms this year. I do need to can some syrup in the next few days too.

Folks,
Adam helped me work on door trim today. The azak material now surrounds the inside of the doors. Then the same material as brick molding on the doors exterior.
