This time I opened the door and starting cleaning the sugars shack out. It always amazes me when we put everything away it is clean. Then you come back in 11 months and it needs to be cleaned again. Looks like we are going to tap earlier than ever. Maybe next week. Good luck Lee

Watch out in the woods....it got so warm the ticks are active!
2008-1st Year= Gas grill+CampStove, 4 trees= 2+1/2 qts syrup
2009-2nd Year=25x11 wood stove+ SS pan+ Camp stove for finishing+ 2 turkey fryers, 19 or so trees= 3gals
2013-now @Lavoie's Sugar Shack (Backyard Sugaring on MTrader) ,evaporator and RO Lee built, sink with running hot/cold water,stainless table, a new filtering/bottling setup, a newly poured concrete floor....all the luxuries!!
Now we have over 100 taps and in 2015 made over 30 gallons!
The 3rd day we are watching our taps frozen solid. What a week we made over 6 gallons of medium amber. Then the freeze happened. We were able to flush the ro out and clean our holding tanks. Looks like tomorrow will be another day of frozen taps. Looks like we will be swimming in sap the rest of the week. Mitch, Barry, and I went to see Chris over at morning star farm to watch 25 gallons be made in an hour. Thanks for invite. Hope all is well with my fellow sugarmakers.
