An elderly gentleman gave this to me many years ago while I was papering his kitchen. He was facinated with the work we do and intently watched…every once in a while he would ask questions about why I did something the way I did.

 I can not tell you how much that gesture meant to me. I love what I do for a living and having a little piece of my trade’s history in the form of an old paperhanging manual is just awesome.

Hanging a ceiling. Not much has changed!
