This post is dedicated to son-in-law, Christopher Duchesnes, who was instrumnetal in obtaining the sap buckets! Much appreciated ! Bring your chain saw on your next visit, Christopher. We are going to need a mountain of logs to fuel the fire for next years production !
The second syrup making attempt has been moderately successful ! I wanted to send you all a sample, but I couldn't find enough thimbles and the postage and insurance would have been prohibitive ! Hopefully in the next week or so I will be able to produce enough for you all to have a taste !
Vicky was concerned that the "unmitigated disaster" related to the walk-in tub installation. I am happy to report that it, the tub, is fully functional and awaiting its first occupant. The full scale trial run was successful, the hydrotherapy jets are most efficient, and there was no flooding when the door opened at the end. For all our ecologically minded readers please note that the "grey water" can now be diverted for other uses !
Multi-tasking. In the background sap boiling on the BBQ- not a satisfactory method, but the best, in the present circumstances, and staining some planks for use in completing the bathroom project !
This is an "old picture", pre-final installation. The paneling on the left is finished and the controls have been added. I just didn't get around to taking a finished picture.
Hope you are all having a great spring, and special wishes to the Grandchildren for a fun-filled and enjoyable spring break.
