Looks awesome. You will enjoy boiling in the new building.

Not there yet, but looking into stack components. Oye. Not cheap. Tell me if I'm at least barking up the right tree. Looking at:
-Pitched ceiling support kit, as this is a cathedral-esque install. Just open trusses up to the purlins. https://www.firesidechimneysupply.co...pport-kit.html
-Add in a couple 4 ft sections of 8 inch class A pipe to go above the roof.
-Selkirk chimney boot. I really like the idea of this thing. I feel like the rubber will do a better job of sealing off on top of the metal and the caulk will only help.

-Then add in a chimney support brace as it will be sticking up quite a ways.
Thoughts on this? Will it work? I've poked around a couple websites and I'm in the $1,100 range.
Update- I found all of the same items in amazon, total is like $750. Dang. I much prefer to support specialists, but that cost saving is difficult to ignore.

Do you have a metal roof? If so, how did the roof jack seal to the contour of the metal?

The roof jack is made for the pitch of the roof. We have a 8/12 pitch, and yes we have a metal roof. It goes over the top of the roofing so it doesn't leak.

Concrete went in yesterday. 4 inch pad. Wire and fiber. 2 of the smaller 4 inch floor drains.
My body has never felt this good after doing concrete work. Remember being more sore than this when we did some concrete pads for corn cribs growing up. Right now, it's only my hand that is sore from writing the check for the guy who did the pour. on an unrelated note, the concrete looks great!

Great looking slab for what looks like an awesome shack.
2019-2023 40 to 50 taps to get 8 to 10 gallons of syrup
2018 Built the sugar shack, produced 10.5 gallons (converted some to sugar,& cream). taps varied 45 to 50
2017 Built 2x4 arch for a divided pan, 8.5 gallons from 30 taps increased to 42 taps during season.
2016 Produced 3 gallons & 1 quart Syrup, Block arch & 3 buffet pans, 12 taps
2015 Thought about tapping
Your sugarhouse is coming along nicely. I can understand how happy you are to get the concrete work done. You can be proud of your work, it looks really great. Although winter is coming, you should still have enough time to get the outside work done before the snow really starts flying. Keep up the great work.
