Eight more reasons to have a great day. Thanks for the well wishes.
It was a busy 2020 and I suppose I was taken away from the RTH more so than other past years. If there was going to be a year to be preoccupied with other matters let it be 2020 ! My excuse lies in the paragraph below. Starting on income taxes for 2020 year end I was shocked to see how much weight in steel we shipped in/out. 2020 outbound LTL freight weight - 95,775 pounds. Fire pits shipped 2020 inbound LTL freight weight - 134,700 pounds. Fire pit bowl stock received(at spring pricing) 2020 inbound Hot Shot freight weight - est. 80,000 pounds. Fire pit covers/bases received(also at spring pricing) Total weight shipped in/out 2020 ~ 310,000 pounds. Had to no choice but to buy 2 fork lifts.
That's my story. Wife and I handled most of the work. Hired welders did the fabrication - a big help in the labor department. 2021 will be easier as we stocked up on 2 years of inventory for fear of Covid shut downs and steel prices rising.
