The Shack
So this is the shack that me and my family spent the entire summer building, abd now use every weekend. She's gonna be doubling as a smoke house and type of woodland kitchen in the upcoming warn season.
Better fuller picture to come this weekend or tonight. Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Everyone has to start somewhere! This is our fourth or fifth season sugaring and we've just now built our building. Trust me, it makes all the difference in how the sap boils off and everything once you've got the shelter from all the wind and whatnot. Good luck to you in your building! And happy spring to you too!
Haha thanks! It's gonna be a great place for not only the family but friends to come down and spend time!
You are three times quicker of a learner than I am. lol Been doing it outside for 16 years now and hopefully this summer a shack will be built and a real evaporator will be bought.Originally Posted by Heather_Marie
