I saw some guys installing siding on a new residential building that was three stories. I wished I had taken a picture. They had a ton of ladders tied together like scaffolding. It was one of the craziest things I had ever seen. I did see a guy installing a sign locally doing exactly the same...

Freepik is another good stock photo site and much cheaper than Shutterstock. https://www.pexels.com/ is another site - I don't always find what I'm looking for, but they have some good stock photos. Creative Fabrica is good for fonts, backgrounds, and textures and is more affordable than...

I hope this isn't too long, but here you go: Some similar projects that we have done with tools / materials you probably have access to. 1) Client wanted a word wall of small green glass acrylic letters over a custom textured laminate. I forget the exact measurements, but it was approx. 3/8"...

That meeting sounds very interesting and I just sent an email!

I thought I recognized your moniker! It is very impressive all that you have accomplished and the impact to so many lives. I am so sorry for your lose. We do consulting as well, maybe we can chat and compare notes. I'm in NC, but if you are ever wanting to just have a conversation it would be...

I just sent a DM. Talk to you soon!

Hello from NC neighbor! Do you sell wholesale? I don't have a need at the moment, but having a resource at hand would be nice. We provide remote PM services and several projects have needed traffic / parking / garage signage. If you do wholesale, do you also do custom? A lot of our projects are...

If you are interested, I'd like to get your information for our next project in the area. It'd be great to have another contact and referral source. :)

Where do you install? We provide remote project management and will run into projects needing ADA sign installs. You can comfortably charge $15 - $20 p/sign without stepping out of bounds. Especially, if those larger stair signs (12" x 18") or the 20" x 20" you mentioned are included because...

I would also ask if this condition can be waived. I've worked on a lot of projects, with very stringent requirements. Because we are a small shop, I've pointed this out, and we were able to get out of their requirements. Sometimes a human element of just saying, "hey, can we skip this?" directly...

That sign looks a lot like it was cleaned with something alcohol based. The frosting on the blue portion really looks like it's been sprayed with alcohol.

It might be due to their funding source and a requirement for them to open their books. So, like any good giant bully corp, they are sharing the responsibility by rolling the ball down hill. They also want to ensure the costs are in line with profits. Typically, they will give the percentage of...

There is no way I could survive in such cold weather. I might be from the NE, but have been a southerner for long enough that I prefer heat to cold. Today it has been in the 30's in NC and me and the puppy both refuse to go outside, lol.

Agreed with your statement about being about to construct things like a puzzle in reverse. We had a salesperson that sold an impossible to make sign (we don't manufacture any more now). They sold a 3' - 4' solid, custom cast crystal (it was a store that sold precious stones and crystals). There...
