    I put in about twenty taps yesterday. Going to plumb the rest of the main line but not tap the rest of the trees. Will just keep on watching weather to see when I'll finish tapping.

    I tried a staggared tappping schedule last year, with a little sucess. I found that most mf my trees were still running strong when i pulled the plug, so I'm not sure if it really helped or hurt me. this year I put out all 50 at one time.

    I hung about 100 buckets yesterday, sap was running good. I collected last evening and got about 40 gallons, ended up in the dark. I can't wait to fire up the new 2 x 6 raised flue. I may need some pointers for start up and shut down...STAND BY !!regards,

    I rerouted my main line this year. Trying to get a little more slope on it. Thats why i am not tapping all at once and also that dang full time job gets in the way a lot also.
    Upwood i may have to drop over to see your evap. Going by your place tomorrow i will look for your buckets.
