Try this product Glass Protection tape it was bought at U-Line. you buy it in a 24" wide roll sticky on one side it goes on like saran wrap and peels off easy. Cover the whole truck in no time.

Finally the sap is running getting 4gals per day hopefully by Saturday can start to boil and pull the taps.About time.

My trees are starting to run now, got 4gals of sap yesterday, time to start cutting the dead trees around the house for wood for the stove then we can start to boil.

Try Gow-Bush-Kon Lodge in Gowganda, dogs allowed, and some pretty good fishing to boot.

My sap is at a stop weather too cold maybe this coming week, 16 taps and only 5gals collected so far that won't even give me 1 qt after boil down.

Did anyone go to book a trip? Or just to look around and search out the deals.

I had talked to some guys going fishing on Saturday and told them how we were going to get the machine on Sunday when both were off and asked if the guys were coming back Sunday if they could help, they said if they came back on Sunday they would help. So imagine my surprise when hubby came home Sunday morning and said the machine was sitting at the entrance to the road to Stumpy, wish I had got their names.All I know is they were from down south but will remember their help.

We boil the old fashioned way, we have a wood stove made from a water tank someone welded a square frame on the top just big enough to fit a big roast pan on it works great and you clean up all those dead trees around the yard.

Last two nights the lake has been making more ice, slush is gone for now. Looks like it will be at least two more weeks before it starts to melt again.

Am sending out a BIG Thanks to the guys who got our ski-doo off Stumpy this weekend. Hit bad slush the weekend before and then had to work right up to Sunday morning was planning on going out in the afternoon to get it off the lake and guess what I seen coming home from work there was my machine parked at the entrance to the road to the lake. Thanks again, much appreciated .

Well the cold weather has shut down my trees, no sap for 3 days only 3 gallons of sap so far. Hope it gets better weather soon as we will be busy with other jobs soon.

Hi, we are located about 3hrs northeast of you in Gowganda. Tapped some of the trees but the weather is not co-operating.

Pressure washing works great, but eventually the carpet needs replacing,( after 10 yrs and being washed every week) we switch to vinyl but get a good quality vinyl.

Heading to the bush today to start tapping,lots of rain yesterday and the weather did not drop last night, hopefully it will drop tonight. Tapping some new trees this year with any luck the weather will co-operate and we can get some sap this year suplly getting low in the cupboard.

Do you have to keep the batteries warm for them to work good? I have a dewalt 18V and looking at buying the adapter for our 6" auger.

Missed this show, hoping to go to the Spring fishing and Boat show in March. Maybe nicer weather will bring out more people.

Try Gow-Bush-Kon Lodge in Gowganda. Great walleye fishing comfortable boats.
