I like the video of your sugar shack. I'm looking to do the same thing, have any pictures of it?

Knocked out 60 gallons today with another 60 in the barrels. My sugar today was down to 1.5% from 2% yesterday.... The pans are almost sweet and perhaps drawing off tomorrow!IMG_20190215_154254.jpg

Forecasted to hit 50 today and stay above freezing most of the night. Should be enough of a run to fill all the pans back up for a weekend boil. Everything got good and frozen the last couple days.
2017 25 taps on buckets got me hooked 1 gallon of sweet
2018 51 taps on 3/16 tubing/ DIY oil tank evaporator 8.5gallons finished
2019 60 taps 7 gallons finished ended season short
2020 New 2x4 divided pan ready to get away from the headache that is steam table pans
I have it falling to 29 tonight at my weather station. that would be fantastic!
