Found this on a website of a painting co (Catchlight Inc) for whom I have done a bunch of projects.

The owner wrote the text accompaning it. Now, none of you would do this, would you
-----------

"Note the clever use of multiple undersized ladders and yards of rope to create a solution that is truly remarkable - as in "Ch&%^t almighty, look at that!"( a simple phone call and $75 per day would have rented them the appropriately sized ladder)."

"No, that's not a Catchlight employee!
And, this is why we run safety meetings every week without fail."

How is Nigel and the Catchlight gang?

One of my best employees worked there for almost 5 years before coming to Vermont. I feel like I know them!

VT,

He's still the consumate professional, and a rising star in the PDCA. I can understand how that employee is one of your best.

Seriously, I have never hired an employee that I could just plug right into our operation and he just "gets it". He speaks very highly of Nigel and the old days. Sounds like Nigel is a great connection for you.

Scott,

Yes, I've done a few "high profile" wallcovering installations for Catchlight. Perhaps in the next issue of DECō there will be a picture of one of them illustrating an article by a Phil Reinhard (NGPP, PR Committee Chair)

That picture would show this job in progress:

(that's a 23 foot drop from fourth floor crown to third floor landing)

and then this job for a "politically sensitive" residence:

.

I see from your website that you are a PDCA member. Were you at Mt Snow last November for the N.E. Council Convention? Nigel was there. I know because I got reports how he had fun pulling the leg of one of the Boston NGPP members.

Wow! Nice work. Catchlight seems to get alot of the curvy fancy foyer style projects, very nice.

No, I didnt make it to Mt Snow. Next time the tour comes through Vermont I will be there for sure!

I work for Catchlight now and I love their blogs. It was one of the things that made me excited to get this job before I even interviewed. Really showed that they were down-to-earth, fun people and they have completely proved it since I started working with them

True story HP, driving by one of his work sites and sure enough that is what I came across. Had to take a pic to show the guys here on Painttalk how professional brother NEPS and company are.

That's great to hear. Hope I run into you soon.

I am continuously impressed at how cooperative all the folks there are.

You've done yourself REAL good hooking up with them.

Give Nigel my best, and everyone else
