I boiled yesterday afternoon for the third time. Made about 45 gallons total.
It has been a bit of a scramble to get up and running. My nephew was here for two weeks, and we got the pipelines all set up and some new mainline out.
Then my older son came home on spring break, and wee got everything tapped, and the sugarhouse cleaned and set up. He went back last weekend, and my younger son came home, he is helping with the sugarhouse, getting in wood etc.but he will be gone back before there is much more boiling.
After that it will be just me and my wife, and what occasional help I can get from one of my neighbors.
I left the vacuum pump running last night, but I don't think there will be enough to boil today. The temperature is supposed to drop the next few days, so probably nothing more until Monday. That will give me a chance to catch up n a few other things. I need to go somewhere to get containers. I should check the tubing system over for damage, although that works better with the vacuum on. And I really need to get my taxes finished, before it gets too late.
