"In Ladder memory: stories from the painting trade, freelance journalist and writer Mark Ellis recalls his 30-year journey from apprentice painter to successful painting contractor. This memoir will resonate for painters, those in the paint retail marketplace, trade contractors and anyone who has ever hired a painter or picked up a brush. In "Mrs. Peltzer's husband," a floor epoxy job becomes a look into the life of a woman suffering from emotional abuse. "The stairwell" takes readers through the hellish painting of a seven-story industrial stairwell with a certifiably motley crew. "Plants I have known" humorously catalogues the obstacles to a good paint job created by bushes and trees. "Sam Drucker and the frogs" recounts the story of a celebrity client and a controversial neighborhood frog abatement project. A useful appendix offers proven painting tips. These stories scrape the knuckles and get under the fingernails. Ellis brings authenticity and discovery to his exploration of the experiences of a housepainter, and the entrapments, frailties, and indomitable spirits of those living and working in the structures he paints."--Publisher's description.
