I dont have a more recent photo, but will get some when this weather breaks. Ted
red dorakeen, thank you. The timber frame for my sugar shack is actually a timber frame from back in the 1800’s that was last used as a pig pen on a farm. There was a second floor on it originally but they were shorter then and I had to walk hunched over along the sides of the upstair so I made a dormer to give more head room. The plan is to use the upstairs to hold a permeate tank once I get a RO and a bed for late boils.
