    Default Tapped in N.E. Ohio

    Well couldn't take it any more, so today lined up son and two son in laws and put in 75 taps, with 35 more to go tommorow...

    Could have picked a better day; we had over 1 foot of "global warming" everywhere in the woods. Nothing was running as it's been too d#mn cold but looks like it will warm up some later this week. I hope

    Anyone else up here in the snowbelt tapped yet?

    Thanks, made the doors with lumber from a maple we dropped a few years back.

    Had it sawn up into boards which we air dried and have been using it on the sugar house project for entry, cupola doors and other misc items in the shack. It's nice wood to work with and will remain on the property for some time.....

    No thanks - 1000 taps a day would tap me out. Still recovering from trouncing around in knee deep snow..
