Ask and you shall receive! I did have a big porch built on my house but I'm not sitting on it. I'm at PATHERON'S in PA helping him with his 12000 taps. I'm getting my maple fix and he's getting some much needed help with bubble patrol. This is the best kind of maple production for me. I get to do all of the fun stuff and he spends the money lol.
It sounds like you're going to have a nice vacuum set up now. That pump will put the suck on!
Good luck with your season! The sap's just starting to run here in PA
