I need to build a cellar for syrup storage, dig a drain trench for drain tile from cellar to 300' away to drain out, get an insulated shed moved about 300' and set on cellar, partition off an RO room and further insulate it more, build a set of enclosed stairs from sugarhouse to RO room, build pit to lower drums into cellar, build roof over existing tank and vac because it got burried several times with snow, buy and place new 1000 gal+ tank or 3000 gal and not need to get larger tank next year, etc, etc, etc.
I better give up sleeping if I am to get done by next Feb.
wow, and I thought I had alot to do..good luck with all that broQuote:

WOW Flats you have alot on your plate this summer. I like the syrup cellar idea. Might have to put that on the list for down the road. Personally Im almost done with my wood for the sugarhouse but want to get next years in as well. New mains are up and ready to order more lateral tubing and fittings. Probably wait till fall to finish that up and get after the wood for the house, get started on the sugarhouse rebuild and the honey do list. It never ends does it?
Heck no it never ends even from the start!Quote:

As I very slowly drive the rows a joystick controls the tiller going in and out between the bushes. I try to do that 3-4X each summer. (google Weed Badger to see)
