    12th picture down the list “free pallets”. I’ll take those if they are still available. I need some longer pallets to redo a few of my humble stacks. When can you deliver them?

    We delivered 3 totes today. 1st one went to the other side of the county, new customer, by word of mouth. Other 2 were around Deepstep, a couple miles from home.
    After that, we wrapped and covered 5 outside faucets, got a 2.5 hr nap and working another 6PM-6AM shift night.
    We don't run ads, we have enough referrals to keep us busy. And yes, we got a good tip just for delivery....

    So much firewood lingo I’m learning. Face , Ricks, and so forth. I’ve never sold less than 1 full cord 128 cubic feet stacked. So maybe I’ve been doing it all wrong. It’s only Lodgepole pine with a little quakie aspen for a little variety.

    You’re fine. You do your thing as it suits you and let others do theirs. Just stay humble and you’ll be happy.

    Mostly I like the free exercise. Work shift work full time job. Totally blessed.
    Just a very small side hustle.

    Picked up a restaurant in town that wants a lot of wood. Extra blessed.
    PS I feel like I need to buy some of Veals wood to have restaurant quality splits. That wood also more closely align with the Nashville business model of buy and sell. :yes:

    Come on down, brother. We sell cheap, you know, so plenty of profit margin.

    Whoa I didn’t know there’s also a physical fitness perfection level. I’ve always heard it’s lonely at the top.

    I delivered to the restaurant today and he had a stack of 24-26” splits that looked like they were made with a log mauler. The wood is for a dining room fireplace, but I still included some perfect Hickory and Cherry with the Oak.

    Ran a 10k this morning before working in the quarry busting granite with my bare hands for 16hrs. Then I delivered a rick to the fifth floor of the biggest mansion. I ran every stick up the fire escape stairs in record time. People are saying they have never seen wood delivered and stacked with ninja like athleticism.
    Have fun on the ddb at Dunkin Donuts.
