I cannot fathom delivering that much firewood in two days! Four facecords is my max per trip into Nashville unless I reload and head back which makes for a very long day. I delivered 155 & 156 face cords yesterday. I typically sell 60% of my firewood from October to year end.
This is tossed into the truck with the back row stacked. Back in and dump it in the driveway. I rarely go more than 10 miles for a delivery and almost never go more than 15. I had to catch my son's baseball game Friday night so I went into overdrive loading the two cords and did it in 40 minutes.
Dang. Good for you. Die hard coffee drinker here. The fews times my brother bought me an energy drink I had bad shakes later on from it. He drank them like water.
We would have students come into the office just shaking and vibrating as they had been drinking those energy drinks. About all we could do was give them lots of water to drink. Those that had heart problem symptoms went to ER.
Was just about all caught up on deliveries Sunday afternoon…then came 20 orders in the last 48 hours. Pretty evenly split between half and full cord orders with a couple more than just one.
If you make it they will buy. Any predictions on what sales will be this season? I know you had mentioned doing Winter sales which IIRC you really didn't do. Hopefully you don't run out of wood!
I know last year he had leftover inventory and I think it was a record production year for him this year. With me I usually have a bit leftover come Spring. Most of my customers order as needed and a colder Winter will have them using more. Do you sell any wood Lyle?
Not a stick! I have been accused of donating it.. I also have abundant storage easily 5 acres.. so storage is not issue.
Correct, I didn’t sell out last year and probably won’t this year. I have learned it’s good to not sell out so you build up those year round customers. As for predictions, who knows with two warmer than average winters in a row. Hoping we get something close to normal with some snow on weekends since people will burn more then.
Empty ground space is a welcome site this time of year. Got 17 deliveries checked off my list this weekend.
