bought a house by woodstock, ny, no flood worries even today. old saphouse is barrel storage/workshop. 20x 24 wing of old house is sugaring wing. 20x40 old oneroom schoolhouse is my barn, and 20x24 wing is my living space and somewhere to go if my wife is really pissed. I now have a commute to the farm, but am much closer to my customers and wendys for those late night burger cravings. it is nice being close to stuff after 23 years in the mountains. I'm planning to get up to 4,000+ taps. so adding 600+. it has been a lot of work, but everything turned out good for my family and I. If anyone reading this lives close to water and does not have flood insurance, get it.
