Haven't been here much lately, been as busy as a one man chimney sweep company with a few hundred people wanting there chimney's swept before Christmas!
Just wanted to say thanks to Tippie for all the hard work he has done helping me out this year.
So far, he has helped me with 4 chimney relines, maybe 5 I've lost track.
I've watched him the first few times during the awkward first times working for me wondering what he should do next, make a few mistakes---none that I haven't made myself or that we couldn't laugh about---and finally hurt him today! Hope that thumb is okay!
Anyway, Tippie has busted his ass for me the past month or so and I couldn't have stayed on schedule with out him. Wish I had ten more like him and I'm really going to be hating it when he moves on to bigger and better things, which of course he deserves, wasting his talent working for me! Plus, no one should have to put up with me too long! [:D]
Here's another pic of Tippie in action as a chimney sweep:

Thanks Lew, your help and friendship has meant a lot to me.
