We live in the prairies where the only trees that grow here are ones planted by people around their houses and farms so the wood has to be delivered from way up north and it doesn't come cheap so it is a commodity that is in high demand around here and we just don't want to risk losing more than necessary. As it is when we sell the wood it is pretty much a break even endeavor, they aren't selling it to make money just to make sure they don't lose money and keep people happy.

However I stayed at on campground in Pa that did the self serve and it worked well, no one had to deliver so labor was saved, they had a wheelbarrow and it was a buck a load. They didn't bundle or anything just a big pile. So you got more wood for your money they netted as much money and every one was happy except the few that were too lazy to push the wheelbarrow.GMFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730646156446065339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-7016490569960643482016-07-23T11:28:21.228-04:002016-07-23T11:28:21.228-04:00Nope, we won't be doing that!

Our helper even goes around to all the sites with firewood to see if anyone wants to buy any saving them a trip to the office. And when Kevin checks in new campers towards the end of the day he will ask them if they want firewood so that it can be delivered before 9pm. The only ones who would lose out are the ones checking in after 9pm which are very few and far between.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-33684391231277240832016-07-23T11:22:38.578-04:002016-07-23T11:22:38.578-04:00During office hours when nobody is actually in the...During office hours when nobody is actually in the office and only for emergencies after office hours. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-25505601569434654732016-07-23T11:19:44.984-04:002016-07-23T11:19:44.984-04:00We know! :-)We know! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-25381268799640602682016-07-23T11:19:15.064-04:002016-07-23T11:19:15.064-04:00With Dugg's idea though that would mean that s...With Dugg's idea though that would mean that someone is in the office all the time that it is open which isn't the case, we could be out doing something in the park, this is why we want them to press the buzzer during the office hours when there isn't someone actually in the office.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-81033025206267955172016-07-23T11:16:56.758-04:002016-07-23T11:16:56.758-04:00The issue is that we want them to buzz anytime the...The issue is that we want them to buzz anytime the office is open but we aren't in the office, not just to use the buzzer for after hour emergencies.
