[Dix]

Thanks, Tom !

Well, we all know Tom is The Man. But what did you ask him?

 

[begreen]

"How do ya heat down on the farm in Lonnngisland?"

 

[Dix]

I need a door handle & gasket for the PE. Figured that was the place to go

"Lawn Guyland" is about as close as I can explain the pronounciation. Just like people in New Jersey drive "coors". My family is from NJ so just funnin' ya'. Maine folks can be interesting to listen to...

Eileen's experience talking with the Tom Oyen, the "original" chimney sweep: +1. I purchased my stove from "The Chimney Sweep" on-line. It was a flawless and pleasant transaction.

My quite ancient experience agrees with fishingpol's proper and perhaps only acceptable pronunciation of Long Island to those who, with Eileen, inhabit that wonderful section of creation. The emphasis is on the gender neutral "...Guy..." syllable. ;-)

Tom is the genuine article. Their shop is a classic and the crew is wonderful.

 

[fishingpol]

Hearth shops make me smile. Is that so wrong?

 

[begreen]

Me too. Here's an inside shot.

And, the parts I ordered on Friday were on my door step when I got home today.

Very happy camper !

PS.. glad I ordered the gasket, the PE needs one !
