    Al, wow, sorry to hear you and the poison have had such a long history together!
    Galena, wacky shacky looks great! I haven't forgotten, I still owe you some dimensions from our evap rig, I'll grab today and pass your way if you're still interested.
    Michael, I'm the same as you, love seeing the pictures, I'll try to follow suit as well once the rig is ready to go.

    Got wheels installed on the back side of the evap frame, making it much easier to move in and out of storage, wish we had a dedicated sugar shack but this will do for now.
    Last year we just used snowmobile dollies but I wanted something more permanent / less precarious.
    I also installed some jack screws on the front of the frame so once the rig is in position for the season, we can simply use the jack screws to level it all out.
    After some research on the best methods to do so, I cleaned the sap gravity tank.
    Also added a quick connect to the hose connecting the gravity tank to the float box.

    As of last night most buckets were 1/3 to nearly 1/2 full.....
