Dan if your evaporator is big enough do the vacuum first then the RO. If you are already stretching the limits of your evaporator get the RO first. I got them both at the same time.

Guys , no vacuum this year. My money tree has a blight. I hope to do an RO and vacuum the same year. And by the time I have 5000 taps get a bigger evaporator. That way i can do 10,000 taps. all BS aside. I am dead serious about making my living off of maple when I retire. I plan to have enough taps that I will survive even if the bottom fall out of the market
DAVEY you should have your fortune made when you retire

jrthe3,
I may take you up on that. I have to stop next week at an amish place that has a small sugarshack that has not been in use. Going to see if there are any goodies he wants to part with. TSC wants $250 for a new one. Most used ones have probably been used for ag "spray".
Thanks, I'll be in touch.

ogden,
30 years is long enough regardless. Plus I would go nuts If I wasnt working or in the woods doing something. So it may as well be something I enjoy and can gain a little finacially. Besides I plan on living till I am 100 and not slowing down untill I am 99, and I am better than half way there.
DAVEY You are right, its nice to have a hobby that gives some pay back, also im holding you to your word no slowing down till 99
RICH
I hope to be able to do this sugaring into my 60's and 70's anyway. I am approaching the big five-oh and have a tweaked back today, so I feel like I'm 99 today. I think I'll take the weekend off from stringing tubing. When I'm back on my feet I'll be back at it.
