Here she is!

Glenn and Jack from Woodstock delivered and installed my IS yesterday, direct from factory! As to be expected from this company, these two were great guys and did an amazing job! They charged significantly less than other companies offered, and I'm sure knew more about what they were doing, making it look easy to get the IS in our home and set up! Prior to the delivery, I had told them I would make them breakfast when they got here, and Jack surprised me showing up with a dozen and a half eggs laid the day before from his personal chickens! They got the stove in my home, adjusted my liner and got everything installed in two hours and fifteen minutes! Then we all broke bread and had a nice hang! Man, talk about service!

I love how the custom art came out (and yes, I did get two sets of andirons, as I wanted the music clefs but my kids really wanted the dragons!), and think the stove looks great! I feel that the combination/contrast with my 1890s home works. I must admit, the IS looks pretty gigantic in the room, which is my only concern (aesthetically), but hopefully we'll get used to that and love it come next winter. Temps just dropped low enough right now and I'm doing my first break in fire. Got the secondaries going, and it's all looking very cool. Already with the first break in fire I'm feeling a little better about the size component of the aesthetics in the room, as it looks so awesome!

Cheers to Woodstock!
