12.5 x 8...I like the 12.5 that's hitting 100 sq feet right on the money!
Now if the county comes by to check, remember what my mentor, and boat builder friend, Ray McLeod told me back when I was racing the sailboat I'd built:

Even with our small shacks, it seems luxurious to boil in such comfort.
2019-2023 40 to 50 taps to get 8 to 10 gallons of syrup
2018 Built the sugar shack, produced 10.5 gallons (converted some to sugar,& cream). taps varied 45 to 50
2017 Built 2x4 arch for a divided pan, 8.5 gallons from 30 taps increased to 42 taps during season.
2016 Produced 3 gallons & 1 quart Syrup, Block arch & 3 buffet pans, 12 taps
2015 Thought about tapping

That really looks sweet. How big is the overhang out front. That give me some ideas for myself.
I put on a 3.5 overhang so we can have a couple chairs and open up double doors as the pad was there and during decent weather we can add some more space to foot print while not being taxed on it. I came up with this after the tax man said I would need a building permit and tax assessment unless I build 100 square foot or less. So I built a separate 60 square foot wood shed and a 100 square foot sugar house with a porch...
