    Not sure yet. My goal this fall was to get it framed up and a roof on it. Next summer I'll enclose it and add some doors and windows.

    Open for ideas for the sides.

    Well, a roof over your head IS good.
    For siding you can use 1-11, board & batten or many other choices. If it can be seen near your house, you might even want to side it to match your home.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Looking gooood! You will wonder how you ever survived without it! Keep at it almost time to move the evaporator in and tap.
    I love the look of the cupola but wanted less steam, so we went with stacks. Your doing great Keep boiling!
