Osborn Island OIRA

Friends

[Editor] Just to make everyone aware, several homes on Kansas Road had attempted break-ins during the past two weeks. Window screens were cut as the intruders apparently were checking whether windows were unlocked. LEH police said that they will increase patrols in the area.

Appreciate help on best routes from Osborn Inlet to Little Egg Inlet and from Osborn to Marker 139. I've run soft aground a couple of times...keep my eye on the depth guage but am quickly in very shallow water. I see a lot of boats headed directly to the fish factory from Osborn...but it looks as if you can get in trouble quickly that route. Appreciate advice to: surftamer@gmail.com
 
 
Can anyone recommend a reliable professional? 
(Listed are some the OIRA web site received...as always "caveat emptor.")
 
1.Electricians: "Shore Point Electric and Air Conditioning was found to be responsive, reliable, and reasonable. Frank Ippolito runs a good group of experienced people 609-489-0055" (From OIRA member Jim Cairoli)
 
2.Home Improvements:  
** "I will personally vouch for [Werner Home Improvements] NJ licensed, Fully insured, worked for and with me in the construction business, goes to my Church....Honest and a nice person to business with...lives in town."(OIRA member  Ed Gautier)
"Dave Werner (294-1799) does carpentry, siding, dry wall, tile work, window replacement, painting and wallpapering."
 
** I have one addition, we have used Little Egg Builders, Ron Speck for an addition of a 12 x 24 room on the back of our home as well as an extension to our front porch.  They are very reasonable, thorough and great guys to work with.  I highly recommend them, they have done alot of work on Osborn Island and are locals.  Their phone numbers are 6609-812-9361 or 609-296-3691.  If you need any additional information please call me, Jean 609-294-1313.

"We are also OIRA members and I recall reading on the site that you are interested in hearing about good contractors. ...
We interviewed over 10 contractors before hiring Danny Pomponio, owner of Pomponio Construction in Tuckerton, #609-713-2370.  Danny is an approved contractor for Lowe's.  We received positive feedback from Tuckerton Lumber about his work.  I've attached before and after photos of our home because his work speaks for itself.  Danny is reliable, consistently on time and dependable.  Several times Danny asked if we wanted to make a change or upgrade, saying, "if this were my house, this is what I would do".  He was right and we went with his advice.  Danny handled all sub-contractors, such as plumbing, electrical, fiberglass decking, roofing, siding, gutter, carpeting and tiling contractors for us.  We invite OIRA members to drive by the yellow colonial with blue roof at 15 Louisiana Drive and see the difference, then give Danny a call if they are interested in having work done on their home.  Danny's company will do projects as small as window replacement to major renovations such as our's.  If anyone has questions, we would be happy to answer them by writing to us at:  vaa59@hotmail.com or calling me on my cell #908-507-5524.  "
