having a major ice storm here, not as bad as in 98 , but bad enough, lot of damage to maples. a few old trees on the ground from the weight of the ice. alot of broken off limbs every where. nice mess to clean up now.with a few weeks from tapping

That sucks. Hope you're trees are ok. After seeing the north country after 98 I cringe when I hear ice storm. My thoughts are with you and the trees.
If anyone is interested, I posted a few more video's I shot the other day working on the mainline. Shows splicing the mainline with the tool and also a neat new way to unroll your tubing. At least I've never seen it done this way before.
Pouring rain here today, no work got done in the woods.
Just click the youtube link below to see the videos.
Guys- Ive been watching the weather and its going to get cold next week. Any of you guys seen any kind of projections of the weather after that? Theron
I got all my tubing in and all but one mainline tied. would of finished it tonight ,but spent yesterday evening rehanging 600 ft of main line that came down in the wind storm tues night. I also lost half the roofing on my barn and it dropped a 60 foot spruce into my yard. I am sick of the wind !I am going to get tanks for the woods tomorrow.
Theron, I think it is going to be cold the next 2 wks.
Hey Matt!
I just watched your video on rolling out Mainline. Nice job. Your unroller looks like it works well. I was just at Tractor supply on Wed buying more mainline. Should have grabbed one while I was there. I have seen the unwinders used for PEX tubing for main line but yours is simpler and definately portable.
For the $279.00 do we get choice of colors?? LOL Nice Idea Matt
Mark
Nice video's royalmaple.
royalmaple that is a very neat idea
Mark, for 279.00 I will go pick one up for you, paint color of your choice, and deliver it to you. Now how is that for service!!!
If you need more pipe let me know I have an account with portland plastic pipe and get some pretty decent prices. I have 2000 feet of 1 1/4 coming next week and 2500 feet of 3/4. Already got 2100 feet of 1 inch last week.
If anyone is looking for wire spinning Jenny's tractor supply has one for 33 bucks and holds the 4000 ft rolls of 12.5 hitension wire. Wish I knew that before I tried making one. Got one now though.
I need to bring my tripod and get serious about these videos, and up the standards. Might even need the cue cards or something. I'll do better in the future, just working off the cuff. They are fun. Too bad the part where I fell on my butt wasn't on the video. That would have been funny.
do you mind telling me how much it would be 3/4 inch per foot of pipe please
im just comparing prices
