    Here are some updates! I need to wood side the ends of the cupola, install rake trim on cupola, and the ridge cap on the cupola and the roof is DONE!
    Windows, doors, railings and stairs and then I can get my inspection!

    Your sugarhouse is coming along nicely. It will feel good to have it completely closed in. I bet you are looking forward to next season's sap run. Have fun.

    That's a great looking sugarhouse! Did you get the concrete floor poured, and if so how did that turn out?

    No floor pics yet. The cement guy came by this weekend and I'm waiting for a quote. I did get more done though. Most of the windows are installed and the stairs are framed. More to follow! IMG_5129.jpgIMG_5130.jpg
