Making some changes in the sugarhouse....more details to come.
Picking up several hundred new taps from ingrowth throughout the sugarbush. Hoping to break 5,000 taps for 2017.

Started USDA loan paperwork for the building and equipment, WOW... Two hours with a person helping me from the USDA and we are still not done filing out paperwork!!! Also expanding before we even get started... The property owner adjacent to our current 80 is wanting to sell and although it isn't the best time we are in the beginning stages of acquiring another 80 acres of maple bringing our potential count up to 8,000ish.
Apparently when the maple bug bites it bites hard!!!

nice looking pans! I almost pulled the trigger on a new 2.5x8 rig from them this year! another year or two and I will! The wife had this crazy idea to build a timber frame home this summer... guess who won that battle! needless to say, anything to do with sugaring has been put on hold for a while... including my giant pile of fire wood that needs to be stacked!
Awfully thankful for an understanding wife!

I got my sugarhouse site all cleared and to sub Grade. Hauled out 14 loads of stumps and hauled in 12 loads of fill.
Finished up my sugarhouse design so I have a materials list all made up for the sawyer who is supposed to be coming to mill out the Hemlock & Pine that I got off my sugarhouse site. Looks like it's going to take about 5500 board feet of lumber to do the job. 20x32 probably won't be big enough but I'm going to build it with 10' walls so I can put an addition on either side if need be.
Plan is to get my power and water run to the site and finish grade/ get the slab poured by Sept 1st. It's taking much longer than I hoped but time is at a premium
