    Very nicely done. That's gonna be fun to get fired up and get into the Grove of running everything.

    I like the tractor too.

    Being built into the bank was done for two reasons, gravity for sap but also easier to keep the ro room from freezing and also have all the walls concrete to be washable.

    Marc, the set up looks great. You've really expanded since I've been up there. I took two years off and back at it this year. I got side tracked and scorched my syrup pan today... grrr. I had about two gallons of finished syrup. I'm such a knucklehead. Oh well, back at it tomorrow when things cool down, see if I can't fix it with a little vinegar and steel wool
