Cast Fireplaces are stumped over Fire Fender Question

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Somebody ringing me asking if we do wooden fenders has stumped me today.
A fender is an item that sits in front of the hearth as a decorative item I have seen many fancy ones in cast iron and brass and plenty of antique ones in wood.
We said we could manufacture one fro oak to match the hearth size but then she explained she wanted barley twists and it to be very ornate.
This is not the sort of job we can do so for the first time in a long while we could not help them out I pointed them in a few directions as to where they could get this made.
Collection of Stoves again today has been popular with two people collecting both Firefox 5 stoves with 500m flues. One customer was from Stoke and the other from Stone strange that there only a few miles apart and they arrived 20 minutes apart so it made me smile thinking two separate people who don’t know each other both driving down the A50 with identical stoves and flues in the back of their cars how odd.
I have been busy at the Factory this morning unloading vans full to the brim with fireplaces that we have on order. A mountain of gas inserts have arrived too so I have been there since 8.30 am this morning unloading and stacking, and loading our smaller van for trip around the East and West Midlands on local deliveries tomorrow.
Rhian has again been toiling in the office and I was given a pile of orders to arrange delivery with along with a chicken sandwich when I returned at 2.30pm.
So I am planning our Delivery Runs now for Friday and the weekend.
I am not sure where this month has gone again it is already the 23rd and we still have not got round to adding new products to our website I may have to persuade my brother who has done work for our website before to lend a hand I keep reminding him that’s what families are for
