After all, there is nothing better in the winter and spring\u00a0months than heading outside to start\u00a0up a fire on your courtyard. \u00a0Let&#8217;s face it, it\u00a0doesn&#8217;t really matter what the season is, fireside chats are always a welcome invitation for family and friends. \u00a0I had my outdoor fire going all day on Christmas Day and Boxing Day &#8211; and it was spectacular. \u00a0I love my house, particularly my courtyard, so I can say without hesitation that\u00a0the best decision I ever made was adding our\u00a0outdoor fireplace. \u00a0The dancing flames, the children making s\u2019mores, and forging\u00a0lasting\u00a0memories outside with the family are just a few\u00a0reasons why the outdoor fireplace has proven to be a\u00a0terrific investment in our lives.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6734\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6734 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/029-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6731\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6731 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/002-23-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nNow, even with our stellar fireplace in tact, I still needed a contact in place for when it was time\u00a0to stock up on firewood. \u00a0I would never want to have that nightmare scenario when it was perfect afternoon or evening for an outdoor fire and I didn&#8217;t have any wood available. I&#8217;m shaking just typing that&#8230;no firewood! Nightmare. It&#8217;s happened&#8230;but I don&#8217;t want it to ever happen again. But we don&#8217;t want just any\u00a0contact in place &#8211; we want that reliable, there-when-you-need him contact who can deliver firewood at a moment\u2019s notice. John is that contact. \u00a0John Atkins owns a family-run company that you may or may not be familiar with called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Atkins-Sons-Firewood-1083827268296395\/\">Atkins &amp;\u00a0Sons Firewood &amp;\u00a0Mulch<\/a> and he has never let me down.<br \/>\nLocated in Dagsboro, Atkins firewood is available either for you to pick up or they&#8217;ll deliver to your door step. \u00a0Fancy a cord or half a cord?\u00a0He&#8217;ll make it happen. \u00a0I recently went through my half cord I had purchased from John a year ago! That\u2019s how good the wood was and all at a great price with excellent service. \u00a0John and his team can drop off the wood and\u00a0they can stack it for you. On my most recent endeavor, I called up John and within 24 hours I had my firewood level restored and my hands itching to start up another fire!<br \/>\nWhat I&#8217;ve realized in life is that it&#8217;s these contacts that are so important to have in place. For me, there&#8217;s no greater resource than tapping into a local businesses who provides\u00a0you with great service. Atkins &amp;\u00a0Sons Firewood is one of those valuable resources.\u00a0Not only will you\u00a0receive great service, you&#8217;ll make a contact for life!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6730\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6730\" src=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/12122890_1083848794960909_4806731280189045879_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"TLF\">Think local first + Buy local when you can = Being a local!<\/h3>\n<p>Cheers, Adam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With cold weather in the mix for the foreseeable future,\u00a0making sure your fireplace needs are taken care of is of paramount importance!
