    The big volume sellers must be sold out because within 24hrs of advertising on next door I can’t keep up with calls, texts and current orders. It’s kind of overwhelming right now. Lol I’m feeling a trip to the saw shop for retail therapy is needed to calm my nerve.

    The city has a population of 250,000, but the ad is only visible to one neighborhood as far as I know. All the calls texts current orders are from the same neighborhood. I would have never thought one neighborhood had so many people burning wood and it’s only 2mi from my house. Wife is taking orders too.

    All stores are outdoors stored in front, one on the side. Summer firepits/chimenas keep sales going. Just got orders today from two of the five. New years and cold snap here boosted sales.
