My dad and I were going to pour the slab for the sugar house this weekend but friday night we spent the night in the ER because my grandfather was having trouble breathing. Turns out he has a resperatory infection, so now hes on oxygen and we had to cancel the load of cement for this week. Hes doing fine with the oxygen and meds now. Hopefully we can reschedule for later this week but will see. Just finished splitting the Tri-axel load of wood this morning. Headed back to school for the final two days till thanksgiving break.

Doug- Just getting up, gotta wann it. Had to go swap some tanks and pick up some filters. Just got home. Should have been a farmer. Got my new lapierre sap filters but cant figure out how to get the top off to look inside. Wonder if its just a real tight seal but not to sure about tunking on things as expensive as the things are.

Here are some pictures of the completed RO piping. Anything grossly wrong that you can tell?

From sun up to sun down i did nothing but cut trees off of my mains and laterals. Big wind means big damage. For some reason most of the trees were ash. I thank my wife for letting me buy a 4 wheeler. Because it was so much easier getting around in the woods. Still so much work to do in too little time. The stress level is starting to rise.

Yesterday, I put up about 170 taps worth of lats, 70 taps on one mainline, 100 on another. The one with 100 taps has a lot of trees which are 18-24" with some 3 footers thrown in. I think I'll get another 100 taps on this mainline...sweet. After this line's done, all the tubing will be up and I'll need to go back and put in drops and saddles.

Delbert,
I new there was a wood shed in the near future. Good planning. Keep that wood dry.
Nice looking sugar house!
