From the desk of Catchlight Painter Kate B:
The day that a job is finished up can be one of the most labor-intensive days on a site but also brings about a great feeling of accomplishment in me. The day usually consists of getting all those last little things done; touching up cut lines, painting the last door, putting the switch plates back on the dried walls and locating that last screw that hopefully didn’t fall into the heating vent (…Oh there it is, under the pile of plastic we used to protect your furniture), pulling the tape and vacuuming, vacuuming, vacuuming.  This is one of my favorite days because of its quick jumps from task to task allowing no time to get exasperated like I have been known to do when a day consists only of sanding ceilings...

 The fun is sometimes paused when I then realize I have to carry the shop vac down three, four, five flights of stairs through freshly painted hallways when it now weighs 60 pounds from dust and dried mud pieces.   But it’s just a step in loading up the van to leave you to enjoy your newly revamped or touched-up home.  I like to stop for a moment and take a look at the work done and enjoy what I and the rest of the team was able to accomplish.  And I hope that after we’ve gone on our way, on to the next job to start the process over again, that we’ve left you with a clean and pleasant place to come home to, cook in, relax in and live life in.  I’m proud to have been part of the house painting team that made it all happen.
