Ordered the stuff

The last couple weeks were spent looking for good deals on supplies. In an effort to make tapping, collecting, storing, and boiling easier, here is what I got.

(10) Spiles - local feed/farm supply store
(20) Sap buckets - online...hoping they arrive this week!
(10) Storage buckets w/lids - Craigslist, 8-gal. each, also used for gathering.
(2) Propane burners - Home Cheapot online after a massively frustrating experience in store.
(2) Steam pans - online...to speed up boiling this year.

I need to make a lot of syrup to make up for the money I've spent!
