Hey all...
Well i pulled the trigger and decided to build a proper sugar house 14x16 rather then boil in my sugar 3 sided lean too.
I started drawing up plans this afternoon and putting together a supply list for each section of house . (floor, walls,roof ect )
After reading a lot about design they say it best to have evaporator in the center of everything what i would like to know is there any disadvantage to having evaporator in the center but pushed toward the back wall to optimize space and ease of having it fed by the feed tank planned for the north side outside.
I plan on building the cupila above the arch but just closer to the north wall intead of the center of the house.
Any thoughts on this or opinions
