Red,
Thank you. Most of the wood sourced from wind damaged trees and sawed on our Woodmizer mill. Even the Cottonwood table top came from a dead tree that was destined for the dump. Lots of fun at the sugar shack!
Karen,
Thank you. Comfortable building to be in. Too bad the season is so short.
I'd be in there year 'round!!Originally Posted by dobiehill

There's a lot of nice sugar houses here. Now it's time for me to get in on the fun.

Some beautiful sugar shacks out there ! Wow...
Our little 12x16 gem for our little operation built a few years ago with leftover lumber from the land.
Snowmobile or snowshoe access only most years.
Will add a cupola and move the boiling inside eventually when I figure out
what to affordably evaporate on .
Early this season, the block arch in center is buried in 4' snow.
