3 months at least for me to wait. I tapped the 5th and 11th of march last year and never boiled untill the 18th and then a week later then everyday until the 2oth of April. Who knows what this year will bring me.

Ken I like to think on the positive side. It is usually towards the end of febuary forme as well mainly because we ge so much snow here living due east of lake ontario.

We got 2 rally good days of weather on the weekend and got a ton of work done on the building for the new tank. By the end of day 2 we had all the walls up and braced, the rafters on and strapped, the tank in the building and the vacuum pump back in place plus a bit of the 1" lumber on the outside of one wall. All we need to do to get the steel on and finish the outside walls so we don't need to shovel snow out of it to finish things up inside before the season.

Here's a few pics of the progress:
