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.
Got wheels installed on the back side of the evap frame, making it much easier to move in and out of storage.
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.
Also cleaned the sap gravity tank and 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.....
Hey Wisers, sure feel free to stop by this afternoon and visit Shack Whacky - and my sugarbush too if you're interested :-) Just knock loudly cause my walls are 14in thick.
