Made good progress. The facebook album is updated. Got 2 of the windows installed and trimmed out which look really nice. Also got all of the roof papered and shingled minus the cupola area. We were too tired to start the cupola, so that will be for next weekend.

nice progress Josh. It's going to be a sweet looking sugar-shack when done.

I got a buddy who just got a consignment deal on Amish built buildings. I went and looked at them and they are pretty nice and priced right. Amazing what they build and will deliver anywhere in the us and canada. They come in and install them in 3 days or less. Any size imaginable. Two story garages, sheds and even big horse barnes. All I could see when I was there was sugarhouses lined up one by one. 10 different ones for the small producer, 10 different ones for the medium guy and a whole bunch for the large producers. They even had options to put coupla's on them as well. Funny how we look at things and relate them to maple syrup in one way or another.

Default Updated pics of sugarhouse

got the windows in, trimmed and started to frame the cupola. Got the sheathing on the cupola too, but just not enough day light to push the project while 30 feet in the air....sooo, it will have to wait till next weekend.
anyway, updated pics in the facebook link posted earlier for those following.
Josh

30 feet in the air are you building a 3 story sugarhouse?

Greg, I just got a couple of garbage cans that had lids that would snap on. They were rubbermaid. I dont know much about how bad the plastic is (or even IF it is bad) but my sap only sat for a few days in them. They are a great alternative to a bulk storage tank. If you look now, they may be on sale and you can spend only 9.99 for a good tank. Another trick is I placed them in the area that I blow most of the snow from my driveway...so they have a nice deep snowbank to keep the sap cool come spring
