[iron stove]

Bought a half of a pine tree for a mantle. Will be awesome... Now how to get this pitch off my hands...

Turpentine, or strong Alcohol. Last step can be gasoline.

Awsome ! Heck of a way to spend a Sunday. But I know, when you own a small business, no days off.

Is what it is, right? I love doing things like this any day of the week. A great mental diversion from running a company. Thinking about offering refacing as a service too. Working with this fake rock stuff is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Hearth is going straight up at the ledge to the ceiling, will be a show piece for sure! Cannot wait to see the chestnut enamel insert in there with the mantle and fire burning!

Looking good. I wish there was a stove store that nice in this area. I would definitely be a customer.

Best of luck.

Building the zero clearance hearth with some fantastic fake rock.

You rock.

Looks like that 150 posts are gonna land right at grand opening time.

For those stove owners who refuse to use Wi-Fi T-stats you can hook up a rotary dial telephone and landline to the stove.

lol- get used to it......Sunday is a pretty big sales day when most families these days have 2 folks who have to work during the week!

We had a hard time NOT opening on Sundays during the season. Basically, it was a matter of leaving money on the table. I'd say an average Sunday was $4 to 5K in receipts in 4 hours (12-4) we were open. Today, that would equate to about double that or more. Sell two stoves and an installation and a few accessories and you are there!

Of course, we had the benefit of 15+ years of building up customers by that time....hard to say what a newer store would look like.

You are the real deal, Scott, and it is great to see success come from the fruit of your labor. YOU BUILT THAT!

yep- these days, that's a VERY slow Sunday.....middle of winter slow, actually......one stove sale would do it, and now, with pellets, its more.....I blame the Big Boxes....

 

[Don2222]

How about a drive through window for those people who want a couple bags of pellets and some starter gel to go?

 

[Lousyweather]

Scott-
have you come up with an daily-hourly schedule yet? evening hours? weekend hours?

 

[The Grintch]

Scott-
looking good, do you plan on selling pellets also?

 

[Don2222]

Where is the service center with the computers to schedule the service calls?
