    Yup. In some areas, they are really good at it because of all those extra fingers on their hands....

    Hey the UP is a beautiful place for the week every spring and the week every fall between the bug season and winter... for a place that's frozen for 9 months it has a incredible number of bugs

    I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree Ohio dave . The U.P. is absolutely gorgeous in the winter. Quiet & beautiful. Best time to visit imo.

    My daughter is selling bundles this year too. She is 12 and I figured she would probably sell 10 at the most all year. We are not going to setup a stand on anything like that.

    We took 5 bundles over to her grandparents garage sale and sold them rather quickly. Then she started taking orders, she is now sitting on an additional 60 bundles ordered. It looks like we have to get more twine

    Well we had four days with no sales, then sold 4 bundles today. Kids are pretty excited, not gonna lie, I am too. Nice to know all the extra work wasnt for nothing. We had some time together but, a six year olds attention span and willingness to help last about the same amount of time.

    How about making a spreadsheet to show what days are more likely to sell wood? Something like that? Turn her into a marketing whiz by the time she hits college!

    Monday-Thrusday are traditionally the slowest days for retail. With Tuesday being the slowest. Friday and Saturday are normally the best. Of course these are rules of thumb and won't always be 100% accurate
