THIS GNOME DOOR'S STORY IN A NUTSHELL . . .

Ulrik Andersson owns Gnome Hardware. The store carries mainly metal objects - tools, equipment, odds & ends which are difficult to make for gnomes who don't have their own foundry or aren't comfortable with their own blacksmith skills, or who are just too busy to bother with the whole hot, mess of shaping metal.
Gnome Hardware does not carry wood products – gnomes take care of their own wood needs. Gnome Hardware also doesn’t carry plastic or petroleum products –the off-gassing of those items are beyond distasteful to gnomes who have such sensitive and powerful noses – but it does carry a few vegetable based paints and sealants. Gnome Hardware carries no brushes of any type.
Ulrik Andersson wasn’t always in the hardware business. When he was a young gnome (in his 100s and 200s), he was a strapping, powerful, and very dashing gnome, who eventually became a member of the Cascadia Hot Shot Crew, an elite forest fire-fighting crew of gnomes, owls and other elite animals.
Eventually, however, Ulrik retired from fire-fighting. He settled into the Gnome Valley and opened Gnome Hardware with his best friend, Maynard the Pika. Despite meeting under rather strained circumstances, Maynard and Ulrik are great buddies and excellent business partners…even with the continued presence of of Ulrik’s other friend, Strike, the red tail hawk.
