Trajic Event
http://www.wwnytv.com/story/37880285...apse-kills-one
One week ago I stood in this very shack visiting this Amish gentlemen and his wife. Very inviting folks. We compared methods and he had many questions about our experiences with vacuum. Tragic situation to say the least. The winds have been brutal in our area today and this is one of many incidents of damage. I have been worried about our woods but this puts things into perspective. The shack is not pictured in the article.

The man was a cousin to one of the Amish men who works for me.
Our condolences
sad indeed.
My prayers go out for him and his family.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
A very sad story indeed,luckily the young lad got out okay. Surprising that the sugarhouse didn't burn up since he was boiling at the time.Prayers to his family
