maybe that's why they didnt sell coal in the past, they weren't competent to order enough??CoalCaptain wrote:Still waiting for 2 tons prepaid from TCS like many others...
I do have 1.3 ton of bagged left over in reserve from last winter.
Also have another 2 tons in dry storage for emergency!
I may need it if TCS doesn't show up...

2 houses & a repair shop along with the DHW for both houses. From OWB to EFM520 installed in a truck box will give you a good idea of what we are dealing with.ad356 wrote:14 tons, what are you heating??? it has to be a huge building or multiple buildings.windyhill4.2 wrote:We have 6 tons of rice in the bin,will need 8 more tons to make it to April.We have 1870 # of nut in buckets,will need about 3400 # of nut yet.

Ok, so today I go to TCS to make my final layaway payment and ask I the Clerk when will the coal be in?
The guy tells me "we have 2 tons in the back for you" Great... That was a surprise!
Apparently when it comes in they set it aside with the customers name on it!
