Truth! We don't leave it unattended. And make sure to keep a bucket of extra sap on hand to cool things down if needed.
That is an awesome sugar shack. Love the big window. I showed it to my DW and she said the same. Now that raises some expectations, ha. Definitely need to get it moved inside, wind, rain, and snow can take a bit of pleasure out of it.
Sap is still running here. Today got warm, almost 70, but the high for the next two days is 32. No buds yet. Next week looks warm so this weekend will probably be the end. Pretty late season for us.
I have to make some improvements for hauling sap. I started out with buckets in the back of the jeep, then when the ground got soft I strapped six milk crates on the atv. Then the starter went on the atv, then the recoil spring broke, ha.
How is the RO system working for you? I'm on a Maple syrup faceborg group. One guy posted that he had 6,000 gallons of sap for sale because his RO system broke down
