The point at which the thought of another relationship, or another hobby, leaves one feeling more exhausted than excited.
I have a job, two boyfriends, and a photography hobby, and the idea of one more thing to do makes me tired just thinking about it! I'm polysaturated!

When a polyamorous person has as many significant and insignificant others as they think they can handle at a given time.
"After acquiring a boyfriend and a girlfriend in the space of two months and barely hanging on to her husband, Julia was feeling pretty polysaturated."

Remodeling Innovators
Our first 30 years covering the remodeling industry, from 1975 to the present, has been marked by continual change and improvement, for remodelers and for the remodeling public. Over 30 years, associations have blossomed and grown, pushing industry education and standards ever higher. Manufacturers and distributors have spurred the growth in remodeling with new and better products.
Over 30 years, industry professionals have improved the way we estimate, the way we design and the way we interface with clients. According to the people who know best — remodelers — the following 15 people have had a major impact on the industy.
Editor's Note: As part of our 30th Anniversary issue, we present to you our list of industry innovators as compiled and written by QR's longtime editorial director, Craig A. Shutt. Following our list of Innovators, we look at the events, milestones, and innovations that shaped the remodeling industry, beginning on page 42.
Lastly, we present to you the top-line results of our 30th Anniversary research project. More than 700 recent remodeling customers rated their experiences. The results show that communication, cleanliness and timeliness are among the differences between the best remodelers and those who tend to give the industry a bad reputation.
Bill Asdal:
Teaching New Lessons
Company: Asdal Builders LLC, Chester, N.J. Years in Industry: 1976 – present
Early Years: After gaining an undergraduate degree in industrial education and a master's degree in school administration, Asdal worked as a shop teacher and then spent six years as a licensed principal while moonlighting as a carpenter. He formed Asdal Builders to do carpentry work in 1976 and two years later left schoolrooms behind when an opportunity arose to build a home. "I went from building birdhouses to real houses," he says.
Key Innovations: While a shop teacher, Asdal took the month's best student to the local association meeting. "I always have looked at trade associations, media and professional-development opportunities as resources to become more successful. As I became more involved, I looked for holes in programs where I could add value for others." Asdal has worked with the Partnership for Advanced Technologies in Housing (PATH), USDA's Forest Service Products Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Graduate School of Urban Planning and the Environmental & Energy Building Association as well as with local and national associations.
A key initiative has been his work to rehab the New Jersey building code, which led to its incorporation into the Nationally Applicable Recommended Rehabilitation Provisions (NAARP), a model code for renovation. "We proved we could produce 22 percent savings with a code specific to remodeling work."
Looking Ahead: "I believe the innovations this industry has achieved to date will pale beside those that are coming." That results primarily from the sophistication of remodelers and their recognition in the market. "In the next decade, we'll see continued development of professionalism and have more people work on their businesses rather than just in their businesses." He also expects more results from benchmarking activities, with technology providing delivery media that make information universally and readily accessible at low cost. "These systems are out there, and they're coming our way."
Kermit Baker:
Quantifying the Industry
Company: Cahners Publishing, Boston; Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, Cambridge, Mass. Years in Industry: 1985 – present
Early Years: Baker spent several years at the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies while working toward his doctorate degree at MIT and then was in residence doing post-doctoral work. In 1985, he joined the economics department at Cahners Publishing in Boston. On his first day, he was asked to write a column for Building Supply Home Centers magazine on the D-I-Y market's changing demographics.
Key Innovations: "The remodeling industry suffered from a lack of good, solid information and statistics," he says. "We had to really dig to find the information that was out there." A key resource was proprietary research by marketers — but they often didn't want it shared widely, and it tended to skew to the company's needs. Baker combined those sources with government statistics, and he presented his findings at an annual breakfast at the National Hardware Show that became a key event for marketers.
His efforts helped interest the government in quantifying its remodeling numbers more precisely. In the mid-1990s, for instance, HUD expanded its data on home-improvement projects to include nearly 50 categories, using a large sample. "We saw some discrepancies between their new reports and their previous quarterly surveys and pointed them out," he says. "That got them doing some soul-searching about why these discrepancies existed." The Department of Labor now breaks out remodeling establishments as a category, which it didn't do even five years ago, he notes.
Looking Ahead: A senior research fellow back with the Joint Center since 1995, Baker continues his efforts to quantify remodeling and ensure its impact is included in government estimates. "Precisely defining the market is still a problem, but there have been tremendous gains," he says. "The government has begun to listen to the industry and understand it better. There's a much higher level of sophistication about whom they're dealing with."
Fred Case:
Smoothing Communication
Company: Case Design/Remodeling, Bethesda, Md. Years in Industry: 1961 – present
Early Years: Case began working as a carpenter at 12, following in the footsteps of his mother, who ran her own new homebuilding company and became the first female member of NAHB. He worked his way through college doing carpentry and intended to leave the business behind, "but concrete gets into your blood," he says. He founded Case Design/Remodeling in 1961. Recently, he established the franchised Case Handyman Services LLC, which helps remodelers profit from these difficult-to-handle small projects.
Key Innovations: Case was an early proponent of the design-build system of working on a project from concept to completion, ensuring that drawings could be built and that the plan optimized the contractor's skills. "The process of using an architect and then turning the project over to a contractor was awkward and didn't always meet the homeowner's needs," he says. "By combining design and construction, it made it much more efficient."
Case was deeply involved with educational efforts, including peer-group reviews. Following the formation of NARI, he helped convince the organization to move to Washington, D.C., from New York City due to the importance of national lobbying efforts. He also aided in creating NARI's certification process, which has become a key ingredient in enhancing the industry's professionalism. He was inducted into NAHB's Hall of Fame in 2002.
Looking Ahead: "Remodeling is a huge business, but it has many small operators, and there is a long way to go in developing the industry's business sense. I'm encouraged that some young people are coming into the industry with business degrees, sophisticated approaches and management skills that help them get going. Management is the hardest thing to teach." He also finds that customers are calling handyman services for larger and larger projects. "Ultimately, this could lead to a national remodeling company for us that will continue using design-build ideas."
Linda Case:
Helping Companies Grow
Company: Remodelers Advantage, Laurel, Md. Years in Industry: 1961 – present
Early Years: Linda Case began helping her husband, Fred Case, with Case Design/Remodeling, which began in their basement in 1961 and later moved into offices. Following her divorce, she opened Remodelers Advantage in 1982 "out of fear of job-hunting," she says. "I didn't think my family-business background would be taken seriously on a resume."
Key Innovations: Case has been an advocate for improving professionalism and creating a strong marketing presence. She began writing articles and promoting those needs, leading the NAHB Remodelors Council to ask her to write a book. "The world of remodeling had no infrastructure and no sources to learn from," she says. She produced the NAHB's first-ever book for remodelers, 'Marketing for Remodelers,' in 1986. She then began presenting seminars on the book's topics for local NRC chapters.
After seeing the results her husband's remodeling company achieved by attending peer-group reviews sponsored by Les Cunningham and Dave Sauer at Qualified Remodeler, she began her own roundtable program at Remodelers Advantage in 1991. "I was so impressed that it could help people so much with similar problems," she says. "I'm passionate about helping remodelers avoid having to reinvent the wheel. These programs can create a menu of options to choose from when there is a challenge. But they need a central core to run and support them."
Looking Ahead: In addition to worries about the shrinking labor pool, Case sees another challenge coming, from builders who can't find land to develop. "That's a different pattern from the past, when builders entered remodeling only when the market turned bad," she says. At the same time, she's encouraged that more remodelers are asking her for ways to build value into their companies. "It's hard to sell a remodeling company, but more owners are looking to their companies as a source of wealth and as a long-term asset. That's a change in mentality."
Les Cunningham:
Sharing Secrets
Company: Business Networks, Waterville, Ore. Years in Industry: 1971 - present
Early Years: An Air Force and then airline pilot, Cunningham bought a dilapidated Miami home and called contractors to give him estimates. Most didn't show up. "I decided that if I became a contractor, I could get a lot of work if I just showed up for appointments." He started his remodeling company to occupy his time between flights. By 1976, he had 35 employees and in 1978 was named NARI's Contractor of the Year in the commercial category.
Key Innovations: In 1980, Cunningham joined with Dave Sauer at Qualified Remodeler to gather five non-competing remodelers to review his procedures and offer suggestions, after which the group would visit another member's company. The concept became so popular that the group grew to 13 companies. Cunningham opened Business Networks in 1986, facilitating such meetings for other remodelers. The firm has 200 members in about 20 networks.
"The biggest advantage of a peer review is that you learn other people have the same problems," he says. In many cases, other members have found solutions that the remodeler can use directly. "They don't have to reinvent the wheel. Someone usually has an answer. They may not like the answer, but it's available."
Looking Ahead: "The remodeling industry has definitely matured, and the participants are much more sophisticated than they were," he says. "They're using software programs to make themselves more efficient and making their businesses more astute. It's a very strong industry, and it still has a low barrier of entry, which makes it attractive."
A lack of employees may hold it back, he warns. "There is a stigma in this country now about working with your hands, and that is generating a shortage of workers. There is decreasing supply and increasing demand, but not an increase in pricing. Most remodelers don't realize that yet — but those with management experience realize it much faster. Too many remodelers devalue their time, and that hurts them. That has to change."
Tim Faller:
Educating Carpenters
Company: Field Training Services, Westerly, R.I. Years in Industry: 1983 – present
Early Years: After working for several years as a carpenter in Georgia, Faller joined Hopkins & Porter in Washington, D.C., in 1987. He served as lead carpenter for one year before becoming production manager. Working from an idea he credits to Walt Stoeppelwerth, Faller developed a lead-carpenter system that allowed one person to oversee all aspects of the project.
Key Innovations: Faller refined his ideas with input from others and introduced it to a wide audience at the Remodelers Show in 1991—where he discovered there was little educational programming for tradespeople. "There were lots of seminars for sales and management, but little for production and nothing for carpenters."
To change that, he began creating program tracks for lead carpenters. "I started pushing for more seminars for field staff, so company owners could bring carpenters to these events to learn about products but also attend classes aimed at their needs." In 1999, he formed Field Training Services to develop training programs for production staffs.
Looking Ahead: Although his lead-carpenter training and other programs are well received, Faller sees more opportunities. "We need a program so carpenters can prove their proficiency in the field," he says. He has created a basic job description for lead carpenters that includes evaluations, questions for interviews and an on-site field sign-off. He hopes to extend this to a Boy Scout-like system in which carpenters can demonstrate their skills and have a reviewer attest to that competency.
"My dream is for there to some day be a universal standard that can transfer between companies and states, so a lead carpenter can go to a new company and, based on his credentials, the owner knows that he meets certain standards. Right now, they have to guess. It may be pie in the sky, since this industry is so independent-minded. In general, there's still a tremendous need for more training and a set of standards."
Richard Kaller:
Emphasizing Quality
Company: Certified Contractors Network, Ardmore, Pa. Years in Industry: 1966 – present
Early Years: Kaller followed in the footsteps of his father, who worked to sell the fledging Surfa-Shield franchise before opening his own branch in Philadelphia. Kaller began canvassing and then selling for the company while in school and ultimately bought the company from his father in 1966 at the age of 23. He bought five companies in the next 20 years, giving his employees new opportunities to grow.
Key Innovations: As his network of remodeling companies expanded, Kaller instituted systems and procedures that helped them grow smoothly. His selling ability attracted the attention of marketers at roofing company Bird & Son, who asked him to create selling programs for their salespeople. CertainTeed also became interested, and he soon had programs designed to boost contractor professionalism. He created Contractor Education Services in 1985 to provide tapes and programs to contractors to improve their businesses. He then aided NARI in creating its certification program, using techniques he'd created in his other programs.
In 1995, he decided to retire and consult with a few remodelers. His list rapidly grew from 10 to 50, and he created Certified Contractors Network to provide his member contractors with management help. "I talk about the importance of the three-legged stool in a contractor's business: sales, production and administration," he says. Without strong support in any one of those areas, the stool will collapse.
Looking Ahead: Kaller is continuing his educational efforts, aided by the creation of CCN University, which focuses on continued training via the Internet. "People go to seminars and get great ideas, but they don't go home and implement many," he says. "Adults don't learn from a one-shot deal like that. They need follow-up." He offers weekly training sessions on all three "legs." "The future of this industry lies in continual training, to make it as professional as [independent entrepreneur-based] industries like auto repair and real estate have become," he says.
Neil Kelly:
Supporting Industry, Community
Company: Neil Kelly Design Remodeling Inc., Portland, Ore. Years in Industry: 1948 – 1995
Early Years: After being discouraged by the techniques he was told to use to sell siding and other home improvements following World War II, Kelly purchased Northwestern Weatherproofing for $100 and almost immediately began doing larger projects, including additions. Although he had only an 8th-grade formal education, "he was bright and had a thirst for education," says son Tom Kelly, president of the company.
Key Innovations: An active participant in national trade groups in the 1950s and 1960s, Kelly helped form the Oregon Remodeler's Association in the early 1970s. He was an active participant in the national home-improvement organizations and in 1982 became NARI's first president, the only president to lead the group for two years. "Neil's legacy is strongly connected to industry activism and giving back to the community," says Tom Kelly. That was emphasized in 1978, when doctors told Neil Kelly that he had to stop working after suffering a heart attack. At 29, his son was named president. "That freed him up to do what he loved most — industry and civic activities."
Kelly was committed to creating educational programs, both for his own employees and for the industry. He has been inducted into the Hall of Fame for both the Oregon Home Builders Association and the NAHB (in 2001). His impact on Portland can be seen in a recent poll by a local newspaper, which named him one of the 25 most influential people of the past 25 years.
Looking Ahead: The work of Neil Kelly, who died in 1995, continues through a scholarship established with the local Rotary Club. It provides college funds for low-income, at-risk children. Money is raised especially during a luncheon held on Portland's annual Neil Kelly Day, the first Friday in May. "It's become a very cool thing," Tom says.
Norvin "Charlie" Knutson:
Promoting Performance
Company: Knutson Brothers, Milwaukee, Wis. Years in Industry: 1955 – 1996
Early Years: After studying business and architecture at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Knutson sold real estate. But he was fired, the story goes, for refusing to wear a tie. He and his brother, Orville, a union carpenter, formed the home building company Knutson Brothers in 1955. By the early 1970s, former clients began asking the company to update, change or add onto their original home.
"They found they couldn't do both home building and remodeling because they really are two different businesses," says daughter Cindy Knutson-Lycholat, who owns Knutson Brothers 2 in East Troy, Wis. with her husband, Gerry Lycholat. "But nobody really knew that then." The brothers were committed to remodeling work in 1977.
Key Innovations: Both brothers became heavily involved in local, state and national industry events. Orville attended NARI events while Charlie participated in NAHB functions. In 1982, Charlie became the first chairman of the NAHB's Remodelors Council and stressed the need for remodelers to meet key standards and offer warranties. As part of that, he wrote one of the association's best-selling books, "Residential Construction Performance Guidelines." He was inducted into the NAHB's Hall of Fame in 2001.
"He became a true spokesman for the industry and talked it up when it didn't really exist," says Knutson-Lycholat. "He was forthright about sharing his knowledge with contractors and getting new ones into the business — and ensuring they stayed there." As a business major, he understood margin, markup and job costs. "He knew what were hard costs and soft costs, and he ultimately understood that remodelers had to charge more than they were."
Looking Ahead: "In addition to his work in educating contractors, part of his legacy is that I'm here, as a woman, running a remodeling company," Knutson-Lycholat says. "When I would go with him to national meetings, there would be about four women in the room. He definitely helped change that perspective."
Jud Motsenbocker:
Certifying Education
Company: Jud Construction LLC, Muncie, Ind. Years in Industry: 1962 – present
Early Years: Motsenbocker's interest in construction began when he was 8 years old, when a carpenter building a home nearby let him help. After taking industrial-arts classes in high school and serving as a carpenter in the Navy, he bought a lumberyard with a remodeling sideline in 1962. In 1968, he started his own remodeling company.
Key Innovations: An active participant in NAHB immediately after starting his company, Motsenbocker took every management course he could. "I knew I could remodel, but I sure as heck didn't know how to run a business." He credits his success to hiring an administrator to help set up the company two months before it opened. He soon became involved in local, state and national association programs and committees.
In 1980, the U.S. government asked NAHB to produce an eight-hour seminar on how to run a remodeling company, for presentation to the Shawnee Oklahoma Indian tribe. Motsenbocker created a program covering every aspect of the business: organization, advertising, lead generation, estimating, selling, production and reading P&L statements. Its success led NAHB to ask him to develop one- to two-hour programs along similar lines for all its members. That ultimately led him to help develop NAHB's certification programs. In 2004, he helped develop a program to train the association's trainers — which he then took as a student. "You're never too old to learn," he says. He was inducted into NAHB's Hall of Fame in 2001.
Looking Ahead: "The industry has migrated to home centers from locally owned lumberyards, and that's a downside," he says. "We are high-maintenance, low-volume customers, and that's a tough customer to service. Fortunately, home centers now realize they need remodelers." Manufacturers, too, have come a long way in creating products designed for remodeling, from snap-together tub/shower units to retrofit-ready recessed can lights. "That evolution has been a big help to remodelers."
Bryan Patchan:
Building Local Networks
Company: National Association of Home Builders Years in Industry: 1979 – present
Early Years: After six years in NAHB's Land Use & Development Department, Patchan moved to its Remodeling & Rehabilitation Department in 1979, where he mostly worked with urban-redevelopment executives. In 1980, in the midst of a major recession, NAHB developed councils aimed at specialty construction areas that retained their vitality. The National Remodelors Council met for the first time in 1982.
Key Innovations: Patchan's emphasis in NRC's early days was on creating a network of local associations. When he joined the group, there were about 30, he estimates, which grew to 150 by the early 2000s. He also began using NAHB's resources to develop statistical market data. "Qualified Remodeler had the only figures out there, but NAHB was able to probe into the numbers in different ways by using government data," he says. "We started to show that remodeling was a significant part of this industry."
He helped develop the Remodelors Limited Warranty & Home Owners Warranty and encouraged NAHB to expand its published resources for remodeling professionals. That led to the publication of "Marketing for Remodelers" by Linda Case in 1986. Patchan left the Remodelors Council in 2001 and is now executive administrator of the Frederick County (Md.) Builders Association. He was indicated into NAHB's Hall of Fame in 2001.
Looking Ahead: "The business side of remodeling still needs a lot of attention," he says. "The industry has a lot of turnover, and as new people enter, it's difficult to get their attention and let them know about the resources that are available." He also is concerned about the labor crunch. "Remodeling requires multitalented employees who can look at a problem and find a solution. Such skilled workers are at a premium, and remodelers have to compete for them against large construction companies. Companies' abilities to grow will depend more and more on whether they can find labor."
David M. Sauer:
Spreading the Word
Company: Qualified Remodeler, Chicago Years in Industry: 1975 – 1995
Early Years: After graduating from the University of Minnesota with a degree in journalism, Sauer became an advertising sales representative. By 1974, as a group publisher for building-material magazines, he began taking a closer look at the remodeling industry.
"I learned that nobody knew how many remodelers there were or what their dollar volume was — and that they generally had a bad reputation." He secured 30,000 business names and phone numbers through the Yellow Pages, creating a "qualified" base from which to generate market research. "We were amazed to discover the volume being done by these contractors in kitchens, baths, and many areas beyond aluminum siding."
Key Innovations: Creating his own publishing firm, Sauer produced the first issue of Qualified Remodeler in March 1975. It stressed management-oriented articles that promoted professionalism and high-quality design. "Our goal was to create contractor-to-contractor connections," he says. He also doggedly walked the magazine's research to marketing executives to convince them that the industry had a strong growth record and would surpass homebuilding's volume. "We had to convince them that remodeling was a separate entity — and a bigger one, with higher-quality products being used."
He also recognized that the industry's growing professionalism needed a strong, unified voice. As one of (if not the only) member of both the National Remodeling Association (NRA) and the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC), Sauer brought the two competing — and distrustful — industry groups together at his Chicago offices in 1982. After long discussions, NRA and NHIC merged to create today's National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
Looking Ahead: After helping to promote the industry's professionalism and distinction from home building, QR saw other, larger publishing firms enter the market. The magazines' efforts to explain the industry continues. "Everyone still looks to homebuilding as the driving force in the market," Sauer says. "We fought that mind-set very hard, and it's still being fought. Remodeling is a bigger market."
Walt Stoeppelwerth:
Estimating for the Future
Company: Home Tech Information Systems Inc., Bethesda, Md. Years in Industry: 1959 – present
Early Years: After working for a siding company for several years, Stoeppelwerth opened his own remodeling company in 1961 and, in the mid-1960s, added a partner, Henry Reynolds. They each began a sideline, with Reynolds writing books on estimating while Stoeppelwerth began doing home inspections (in 1974, he did 1,289 inspections). Home Tech sold the inspection business in 2001 to concentrate fully on education.
Key Innovations: Stoeppelwerth has worked tirelessly to raise the industry's level of professionalism, writing one of the first books on remodeling business management, 'Professional Remodeling Management,' in 1985. "I have long been known for telling remodelers that they have to mark up their work higher than they do," he says. Today, Home Tech offers a variety of software and other teaching aids for estimating various construction activities and for other business-management areas.
When he was inducted into the NAHB Hall of Fame in 2001, the group said that "as a leading spokesperson for the remodeling industry, he has helped raise the professional standards of the sector and in doing so has done an invaluable service to the public perception and understanding of the industry."
Looking Ahead: Stoeppelwerth expects the industry's overwhelming fragmentation to change. "The number of remodelers doing more than $1 million in business is growing, and their work is expanding. I expect the days are numbered in which remodelers operate only one office." Some of that will come from consolidation, in which larger companies buy smaller ones and expand their client base.
He expects more managerial-based remodelers to thrive by subcontracting much of their work, possibly through home centers, and specializing in certain types of work (basements, kitchens, dormers, etc.). And he anticipates a form of "caretaker" service for homeowners with second homes as well as long-term service contracts being offered. "The changes in the next two to three years are going to be fairly dramatic."
Bob Vila:
Televising the Industry
Company: BVTV Inc. and BobVila.com, Boston Years in Industry: 1974 – present
Early Years: To complete his graduate studies in architecture, Vila worked with a group to rehab a brownstone. The work proved so successful that he started his own contracting business the next year and had one of his restorations profiled by Better Homes & Gardens. A newspaper article on the project was seen by a public television producer, who ultimately offered Vila the chance to host a local 13-part series on step-by-step renovation of a project. In 1979, his series, "This Old House" premiered on national PBS.
Key Innovations: After 10 years, Vila left PBS to star in "Home Again," his own syndicated series, which continues today. He also has written 10 books, including a five-book series, "Bob Vila's Guide to Historic Homes of America" and "Bob Vila's Complete Guide to Remodeling Your Home." His work introduced many TV viewers to the potential and pitfalls of home renovation, and his easy on-screen personality made him the national face of remodeling.
Vila is active with several charitable and public-service organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, for which he has completed "Home Again" projects. He also serves as spokesperson for the National Alliance to End Homelessness and is involved with several projects for the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. In 1998, he helped launch Healthy Homes for Healthy Children, a HUD-sponsored child-protection initiative.
Looking Ahead: Vila paved the way for the plethora of home-remodeling shows blanketing the airwaves today. "I'm shocked at the number of shows, but a lot of them are aimed at entertainment and ratings rather than how-to detail. Also I'm concerned about some of the information given out, which is misguided or bogus." He also worries about safety. "I'd like the shows to be more responsible. I've got concerns about how they show tool safety, eye protection and similar things. Their approach can be problematic."
Paul Winans:
Encouraging Participation
Company: Winans Construction Co., Oakland, Calif. Years in Industry: 1965 – present
Early Years: In some ways, Winans has always been in the remodeling business. "I asked the man working on a house next to my parents' home for a job when I was four years old," he reports. That same man built Winans' parents' new home six years later, and in 1965, at the age of 15, Winans went to work for him, doing both new homebuilding and remodeling.
Key Innovations: Winans opened his company in 1978 after holding several shop jobs. His wife, Nina, added duties as their children grew. He became involved with NARI in the mid-1990s and has been active in leading both the local and national groups. "I am good at making a positive difference, and I had some opportunities to do that with NARI. The benefits of being part of an association are enormous."
He is a regular speaker at events on a variety of topics aimed at increasing remodelers' professionalism. He also promotes peer-group and certification programs. "NARI is getting to be a recognized brand, and its certification programs are helping to raise the knowledge level in the industry. The desire to improve is so prevalent among remodelers. But it's vital for them to realize that part of their strength comes from being part of a group."
Looking Ahead: "There is a need to have a remodeling contractor be regarded as a professional, much as architects, doctors and lawyers are," he says. "Someday the association representing the remodeling industry will impart the same credibility to its members that the AIA, AMA and ABA do to their members. I also expect suppliers will learn how to do business better with the fragmented remodeling industry. There are more dollars being spent on remodeling than on homebuilding, but the businesses spending them are smaller. This difference will get figured out, and suppliers will reap the rewards."

Digital Technology Offers New Options for Packaging Services
Over the past decade, digital printing technology has continued to grow, fueled by technical advancements in equipment that has allowed end users to offer more service options that were previously possible only in the traditional offset print markets. The introduction of the UV flatbed printer was a key piece of the equipment puzzle; these units are helping make many of these print jobs a reality. These versatile printers have certainly opened up a host of new niche opportunities with their capabilities to print on wide variety of substrates from rigid to flexible to cardboard.
Today, the distinction between commercial and wide-format printers is becoming blurred as more shops add new applications to their service mix. With these new services many wide-format shops are seeking more profitable niche markets and packaging is one niche area that is ripe for the taking.
According to I.T. Strategies, growth rates in the packaging sector average about three percent annually with a total output product value in the range of $290 billion worldwide. This could mean huge growth opportunities for print providers looking to expand into package prototyping or providing high quality, quick turnaround, low volume on-demand package production.
Yeadon, PA-based VT Group is one of those full-service wide-format print shops that have found success in the packaging and prototyping markets. The company delved into packaging a few years back at the requests of some of its customers, said company president Bob Mormile. He added that its one of the company's fastest growing segments.
The VT Graphics arm is the company's full-service print provider. The company first opened for business as a manufacturer of corrugated printing plates for the packaging industry. "The Digital Impact division was established in 2004 as a complete digital printing facility to complement our manufacturing operations at VT Graphics. We already had an established an excellent reputation for creative packaging solutions through design and flexographic plate manufacturing for the display and corrugated markets. The Digital Impact division was a nice complement to our plate-making business. This division was created to provide a short run opportunity for corrugated packaging to expand our customer base," said Mormile.
The company's design staff utilizes a top of a line flatbed printer to provide clients anything from concept packaging development to precision full scale prototypes.
"Digital Impact allows us to use the skills that we have developed in the conventional packaging markets to create cost-effective digital solutions for high quality, short-run packaging printing. This is why we purchased the HP Scitex FB6700. The HP Scitex FB6700 flatbed industrial digital inkjet press has brought the advantages of digital processes to package printing. With the FB6700, we can print directly to sheets up to 63x126-inches and up to 0.79-inches thick, and enables high-quality cost-effective short runs for POP applications and short-run production, including test marketing, product launches, promotional campaigns, creative packaging, and 3D displays," Mormile said. He added that another key feature of the FB6700 is unit's six-color drop-on-demand piezoelectric inkjet printing process, and water-based pigmented inks that are fast-drying, abrasion-resistant and waterproof.
The other key piece of equipment that they added to compete in this marketplace was their EskoArtwork Kongsberg Digital Converting Machine (DCM) Series digital diecutters. "These diecutters allowed us to turn the challenge of short-run and special request converting into a catalyst for new business growth and increased revenues. They work well alongside FB6700," he reported.
"In addition to packaging we also produce a lot of POP and retail signage. With our set up we can manufacture digitally anywhere from one to 1,500 pieces of a counter unit or floor display without any tooling costs. The DCM tables bring reliability to the equation. It also allows us to profitably run two production shifts."
Mormile noted that they are doing a lot of retail work with POS cardboard displays. "We produce both the primary and display packaging, many of it on the display side packaging of packaging such as the cardboard shelf displays that a product such as candy bars are displayed in. Hershey is one of our big accounts. In addition, we are also print a lot of 'one-off prototypes' so food manufactures and retailers can place them in a sample store floor and show to them marketing agents where they can see how the product will look in a retail environment," he pointed out.
All in all, he sees more opportunities in this market springing up. "What was once a traditional offset market is now rapidly shifting to digital printing. Digital printing is much more economical. It's the perfect solution that offers our clients more options in short run printing opportunities for packaging and one-off products," he concluded.
Durst Rho 600 Opens New Options at Solar Imaging
Gina Spring, sales business development rep at Gahanna, OH-based Solar Imaging is also seeing this area at her company booming. The print provider got into the packaging and prototyping market a few years ago, and the business really took off after they installed a Durst Rho 600 flatbed printer in 2006, she point out.
"We had a number of different clients ask us to mock up some packaging samples and print them out before they took them to their package printer. They wanted to see how the box design would look before going to press. A box manufacturer has to do a minimum run of at least 200 boxes on their big presses and that could cost anywhere between $4,000 and $5,000. We can do one box on our Rho and it will cost about few hundred dollars! It's an ideal economical option for our clients."
Spring pointed out that the Rho 600's white ink option has really helped us make inroads into packaging and prototyping markets. "For example, we can print shoeboxes with the white ink option. We print right to the brown core cardboards and it comes something similar to what the end product will look like; just not as shiny or glossy as the final end product. To see the product in this final form saves the clients a lot of time and money in case they need to make any last minute changes."
Spring said that while it's not really economical for Solar to do large press runs, they can do short runs of 200 or less on their Rho 600. "We've produced a number of shoeboxes for design agencies. They have design capabilities to create the packaging but don't have the printing capabilities that we offer. We also have produced some mocked up one off prototypes for them as well," she said.
"We can create cardboard cartons and we also mock up hang tags that go on clothing. We can mock up all kinds of packaging and everything in between. We recently did a job where we also produced glass plates for a client. As long as it is less than 1.5 inches thick we can get it to print on the Rho. We are constantly getting calls from clients asking if we can create a certain job; we test it out on the Rho and we try and make it work for them. Right now packaging and prototyping is about 15 percent of our business and its continuing to grow," she concluded.
Roland Printer Changing the Landscape Up North
Toronto, Canada-based M3Brand is one of Canada's players in the packaging and prototyping design market. "My studio is in the heart of downtown Toronto and our clients feature a host of super high-end designers, artists," commented owner Michael M. Murphy. This full service agency has in house a number of digital and offset presses that include units from Heidelberg, Epson and Xerox. But a recent new product installation from Roland is helping changes the face of Murphy's company. In December, M3Brand had the distinction of being the first printer in North America to install the Roland VersaUV LEC 300 UV printer/cutter.
"This Roland VersaUV LEC 300 printer has changed my life and has changed the dynamic of my business," said Murphy. "Right now I have the only one installed in North America and it is already booked straight through beginning of the New Year with business," he added when WFI spoke to him in December.
Murphy was so excited when he saw the printer in action in a video on Roland's website that he purchased the printer sight unseen. "Purchasing the printer without actually seeing it work live was bold move on my part but so far it's been a great addition. I helped them demo the products at the recent Photo World show in Toronto. The printer created quite a buzz and drew huge crowds to the Roland booth. I like the fact that my company was the first company in North America to own it. We are looking to purchasing a few more down the road."
He continued, "The VersaUV LEC-300 is a groundbreaking digital printing device support that support an endless range of highly customized applications. One file offers endless output possibilities to my clients," says Murphy. "In addition to short run production of high-end specialty graphics, the LEC-300 is a uniquely capable prepress tool for label proofs, packaging comps and one-off prototypes."
Murphy reported that he has been running the LEC-300 around the clock for his clients which include several large toy companies and beverage manufacturers as well. "We are printing prototype packaging for them. The toy companies do their prototyping here and they send them overseas to print the final packages," said Murphy.
He exclaimed that creative directors that come in to see it working are blown away by printer's quality. "It's the marriage of design and technology. The two pieces working together in tandem...that's where Roland really hit the mark with this machine," said Murphy.
"The VersaUV LEC-300 prints on paper including metallic surfaces for labels, decals, POP displays and posters. You can print up to seven layers of spot gloss on this machine. It's so exciting what this product can do. Right now it's a one of a kind and I'm sure you will see more products like this in the not too distant future. This product is a game changer, it will forever change the landscape of the packaging and printing industries," he concluded.

Twenty two Theatre students accompanied by Jim Bell and Karen Libman attended the production of The Beaux' Stratagem at the Stratford Festival. This fall, professor Bell is teaching a class on Restoration Comedy Dramaturgy that coincides with the upcoming production of Restoration Comedy in April. Restoration Comedy is an adaptation of two Restoration period comedies-Loves Last Shift and The Relapse . The Dramaturgy class is an intensive study of the nature of Restoration period comedies including reading numerous examples. But in theatre seeing is always believing. As such, the opportunity to see a Restoration comedy performed by a professional company was too good to pass up. Half of the students who attended were from Bell's Dramaturgy class and read the play in preparation. The production was outstanding and very much enjoyed by all. The Grand Valley Theatre students were an exemplary and enthusiastic audience. The stars aligned in that the production closed on October 11 with a Saturday matinee. This allowed the group to see the production after the close of the Shakespeare Festival that would have conflicted for many of the students, and allowed the group to travel to see the production and return in one day, saving on costs.

Spring breakers party on the beach in Miami in 2011. Miami ranks No. 7 on a website's list of trashy spring break venues for 2013.(Photo: AP)
Girls Gone Wild, the raunchy sophomoric franchise that made a name by aiming its cameras on the booze- and testosterone-fueled college spring break scene, filed for bankruptcy last week in a sign that maybe, just maybe, American culture has taken a giant leap forward.
The Girls Gone Wild franchise may have been tamed, but for the second year running Coedmagazine.com has announced the nation's trashiest spring break venues. The editors base their rankings on past spring break cred factors such as Girls Gone Wild shoots; prevalence of Hooters restaurants, tattoo parlors, liquor stores and strip clubs; and laws pertaining to open containers and drinking establishment closing times.
The website rounded up the usual suspects, except this year, the list of bared-flesh, sun-drenched, booze-soaked bacchanals includes 15 locales, five more than last year.
RELATED: Last year's 10 trashiest spring break destinations
A rise in trashy stature from the No. 5 spot to fourth place this year had some Myrtle Beach, S. C., city officials tut-tutting about the dubious distinction.
"I am at a loss to explain why someone would put Myrtle Beach on that list," Myrtle Beach spokesman Mark Kruea told the Charlotte Observer. "That wouldn't be our perception."
For the second year, Las Vegas gets the site's nod for overall trashiest spring break haunt. Apparently, many spring breakers already are planning getaways there: Las Vegas was No. 1 in flights and hotel searches for travel through March, reports the Internet travel search site Kayak.
And this just in: Del Monte, the mega purveyor of fruits and veggies, will promote healthy eating to spring breakers in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Friday by giving away 200 banana costumes for a mass "banana dance." Cue the double entendres.
Wholesome-eating efforts notwithstanding, Daytona Beach ranks No. 3 on Coedmagazine.com's trashy list.
The complete rankings:
1. Las Vegas
2. South Padre Island, Texas
3. Daytona Beach, Fla.
4. Myrtle Beach, S.C.
5. Orlando
6. Lake Havasu, Ariz.
7. Miami
8. Panama City Beach, Fla.
9. Key West
10. Fort Myers, Fla.
11. Tampa
12. Virginia Beach
13. Scottsdale, Ariz.
14. New Orleans
15. San Diego

Priest dies in Mass
This dear priest was the chaplain at my secondary school and I had quite a few dealings with him as he helped the Sr. train me and several others up to be extra-ordinary ministers of the Eucharist. Given the time he passed it's so likely he's gone straight to Heaven, so instead I ask for prayers for the parishoners, especailly children, who witnessed this. His family also.
Strangely, he's not the first priest I know of who's died at Mass, a few years back in the same diocese a priest died moments before Midnight Mass on Christmas. He was sitting in his vestments already to go and then just went to sleep in the Lord.

I didn't say on a PC, video as a whole
I am referring to items being sold in the present market. Just 3 years ago steam said 1024x768 and a monitor < 16" was the most popular with 2% being capable of running 1080p. The other thing is that steam reports what they are running their desktop at for gaming, not what their monitor is capable of.They aren't. Steam survey says < 30% of monitors are 1080p or higher. Most popular resolution is 1680x1050, with 1920x1080 and 1280x1024 just behind. And that's a survey of gamers, which is almost certainly going to be biased towards people with nicer than average hardware.
I don't assume that, I'm looking at what is presently being marketed.I know all of your hardware is 1080p, and that you do all sorts of fancy DVR stuff on your machines, but you shouldn't then assume that everyone else must be doing the same thing.

Hi David,
Thanks for link. The reason for posting was not as a result of research, it was a post we wrote as part of a presentation we did for the London Sencha Touch user group we run. I appreciate there might be other useful resources out there - and that net magazine tutorial is a good example - but we had so many requests to write up our presentation from people in the audience we created the post ourselves.
