Hows the log sales going now

[mendiplogs]

How do you stay busy Nick. Are they new customers through advertising or word of mouth. we used to be run of our feet from referrals but I think everyone is buying as cheap as possible. We have still done ok but not run off our feet like the last 3 years.

 

HI steve i think your right there ref price some what it very cheap :thumb down: but then I'm not looking for them jon

Been steady 8 loads this week so far, 2 booked in for tommorow and 1 on friday, plus a nice little order of briquettes went out Tues.

Orders coming in for next week already must be cold weather en-route. Not seeing half as many "have a go harrys" about now, A good cold snap will sort things and thats when my price rise comes into effect:sneaky2:

Thanks Phil

£80 for 1.2ish cm3.... we do travel fair way from yard.... its not uncommon for me to do 200 miles in a day.. lot of new customers and i'd say 70% repeats from last yr...done comin up to 500 loads so far since begining sept..... was hoping for 1000 this yr but unless summin drastic happens cant see that happening.. have the wood ready so thats not problem...

Been asked to clear some footpaths on local shoot, in return i get to keep the lovely large ash trees! Had an order today so things may be about to get busy! Cold snap forecast for next week!

Just picked right up now, done 16 dumpy bags this week. Bought four large ash trees this week, already taken orders for it. Tree wrk is picking up too.

Been very mild here in Powys-first frosts in what seems like months. I reckon we are due for some cold in Febuary....

Seven loads booked for this week so far. Not enough but could be worse. Mind you it is only Tuesday

 

Continued to be busy right through the week mainly repeat orders

It's -8 degrees here, positively arctic, everything frozen and white, 9 metres ordered for today,maybe its going to be a busier week than last one!
