    Finally it's done ...didn't think I would I get it done ..
    Only need to stain the front and side of copula. Will be alot easier with the wood shed roof to work off of.
    Installed my homemade double Ridge angle roof jack and installed evaporator chimney.
    Electrical and sap plumbing can be done through the winter.
    To day seems like a great day to move all the firewood over to the new20161015_141211.jpg20161022_164258.jpg20161022_164357.jpg20161022_164244.jpg

    Well it's done evaporator moved in electrical and plumbing are done . I completed a test boil to see if new air under manifold needs more holes drilled in it. Pan was boiling in 10 minutes and I was impressed had flames running the entire length of My drop flues.
