If you have a chance and other sugarhouses in the area tour them. I'm sure all the owners would be more than happy to give you a look see. See as many as you can, take notes and even pictures, and apply the good ideas to what will work for you. I wish I had plans when I built. I would do alittle, step back, and plan!

The reason is gas. Gas fumes stay low and that is why you can't have a wood stove in a garage. In my area saying it is a barn is a lot easier than trying to build a garage. Good Luck. Lee

Thats not a bad price. When I ordered the sides to my sugarhouse (also hemlock rough cut) it was a little more than that.
