David came home early the other day and tinkered around a bit with the evaporator. He was working on his wheel idea and found some from the finish mower for the tractor that we weren't using. One of the advantages holding onto lots of shit is that it comes in handy when doing DIY projects on the cheap! The idea was a good one but once David got the wheels welded on and tried moving it the one on the left side was locking up and not rolling. In the end he scratched the wheel idea and welded brackets on either side of the tank. He strung chain through the brackets which he attached to the bucket of the tractor and transported it that way. We figured once it's in place it doesn't really need to move so wheels weren't actually that necessary in the end.
The random cement pad now has a purpose to house the evaporator since it's relatively level and near the buckets. We'll probably need some form of a cover since it's open to the elements, and especially bird poop, since it's directly under our large maple in front. We'll attempt test boils this weekend to get ready for the flow that looks like it will start beginning of next week!
