We are tapping this weekend. Long term forecast looks great but, this is New England and always subject to change.
Let the fun begin.:rolleyes:

I was planning to tap this weekend but decided to wait till end of the week. I'm just down the road from you. I am interested how it runs during the week! Keep us posted.
Good luck guys. You will be over your head before you know it!
Nice, I hung lines yesterday but I am still waiting to get a pan back!! Hopefully it will be done this week.
Tapped about 60 on Sunday morning 150 to go.. Seems I could have started a week earlier.
I let it run Monday to flush the lines and started collecting Monday night. I hope to have 200 gallons of sap by days end today . That's what I need to get things going and sweeten the pans. It was so much easier tapping trees without snowshoes.
I'll set up the diaphragm pump on the mainline this weekend - after Fridays freeze.
If you need help tapping over there this weekend, let me know!
Thank you so much for the offer to help. I'm all set but you may need some help. Let me know.
Almost all taps were put in last weekend with just some single buckets left to put out around the property. Will hook up the diaphragm pump this weekend.
Made a few gallons yesterday during the storm. With todays freeze, we probably won't have sap until at least Sunday.
