Thanks for joining us! Not sure who we are? Read this.
We’ve been tinkering away at this homestead thing for a couple of years but our full-time jobs (and not wanting to have hungry children) have limited what we’ve been able to accomplish so far. But, the time for messing around is over — we’re jumping into the deep end of the pool. … Good thing our youngest child is a lifeguard!
So, our first project for spring is under way: a sap-house. We built the floor inside yesterday — that’s a 12-foot door and a 10-foot floor — and parked it in the field in the very cold rain.
Pay no attention to my fashionable outfit. Look at that floor! On skids for easy transport to its semi-permanent location in the front field near the maple trees we’ll tap in the spring.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
Maine here as well. I jumped into the deep in 2 years ago and have swum back up to the shallow end. I hope you have better luck! Cant wait to see your ideas come to life.
