Down in Mississippi we have sugar shacks but they are not used for boiling sap!

For your check chains on the cupola doors you will be happier if you make them just long enough that they tilt out just past 90 degrees. That way they still close easily but they do not drip melting snow and rain inside. I actually have a stop on mine just using a knot in the rope I close the door with. I then have a cleat mounted vertically (a boat terminology and piece of hardware) on the wall. When I open the doors I position that knot on the on the low end of the cleat and wrap the rope 2-3x to hold it there. The doors stop slightly past level and all drips then fall to the roof.
