Thanks Gary, if you're in the area feel free to drop me a line! I always look forward to sharing and learning from others!

Got a bit closer to finishing up the sugarhouse. We sheeted off across the top of the north wall, framed around the tanks, built a railing for the loft, got the feed tank in position, got electric hooked up and epoxied the floors. All that's left is to finishing sheeting off around the tanks, insulate and interior steel on the north wall and the sugarhouse is complete!

Sounds like you will get it all closed in before Mother Nature decides to change our weather back to normal. Really nice work. If we are traveling around your area with our RV we will definitely give you a call.

Our intention is to button up the building this weekend as well as an bring the evaporator in and start assembling it while my wife finishes the womanly touches on the kitchen. We're super blessed to have friends and relatives willing to lend a hand! Without the help we would of not been nearly as far.

We were able to get the new/used evaporator moved and in the sugarhouse today! Monday I'll make another trip and get the hoods, float boxes and auto draw.IMG_1849.jpgIMG_1853.jpg

We made the push this week and finished the exterior of the sugarhouse and the inside of the utility room! We've got a few loose ends to tie up on the interior this weekend but are hoping we can start tensioning wire and putting up mainline! IMG_1835.jpgIMG_1860.jpgIMG_1863.jpgIMG_1864.jpg

Looks great maple man. Things bigger than my house and the sugar shack I'm building put together lol. I'm curious why you chose metal over wood. I imagine it was a cost thing with a building that size.

Metal was purely driven from an inspection standpoint, it's easy to clean and with commercial kitchen licensing most everything had to be a washable surface. The building itself felt huge when we started but by the time we put all the equipment in it we found out it's not that big.

He's the latest update on the building we insulated the north wall, sealed around the tanks and were able to do some fancy metal work on the interior to give a nice clean presentation.IMG_1865.jpg
