Bruce, do you have the attached regulations? I don't have everything memorized, but I know the text is supposed to be uppercase and located below the pictograms. Not trying to pick your signs apart, but don't want to see you have to remove any signs either.

Sorry for overlooking the Merchant Member route. I would recommend Gene. :)

What are your letter heights and stroke widths? Is the entire sign face digitally printed and the red lines are the illuminated portions?

You bet. If you call, ask for Todd Bailey and please tell him I referred you.

Rome or Rhome? :)

Gotchya - I thought maybe you were going to take a stab at replacing everything. Hope it works out for you!

I'm not sure how NY is with electrical licensing, but you may want to check. If you aren't a Master Sign Electrician or Master Electrician and you even quote a job like that in Texas - you're looking at big problems. There have been numerous sting operations here in Texas to catch people that...

Hey, I'm not the arguing type and I believe you! I've just always seen them sold and named by the manufacturers as sharp shooters so that's what I call them. My dad (ex-military) calls them Bill Dookie's because they were used for digging trenches for "dookie".

Just one? Amazon - Sharp shooter Amazon - tile spade Sharp shooter shovel Bill Dookie shovel Tile spade 18 names for one shovel Edit: Ironically, the one that doesn't show up (that I've seen) is the name you said is "correct"...track spade.

Add fender flares to accommodate the words? Re-wrap but with smaller copy?

There are a number of LED lamps on the market that can directly replace a fluorescent lamp. Most of the big name LED manufacturers have a version. There are even some on Amazon.

He said replacing it with HID stuff though...converting everything for metal halide would definitely jack the price up.

...or sharp shooter, tile spade, hot shot, Bill Dookie, the list goes on... There are a ton of "correct" names for it.

Actually, what he's showing in the photo is just perforated metal. Expanded metal has the diamond-shaped pattern due to being pressed and literally expanded.

Edit: Now that I re-read your post, it sounds like you're talking about creating a hole in existing concrete to set a post into. If that's the case, the best method is to rent a core drill, drill your core, and then remove the required amount of dirt below the concrete. You can also use a rotary...

If you only have a couple of holes a digging bar and sharp shooter work pretty well. Since you're dealing with clay in Charlotte, if you're digging any more than a couple of holes, you may want to look into renting a tow-behind auger from Home Depot or similar. They make digging in clay and...

That's E.I.F.S. (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), not stucco. One of the brand names is Dryvit, as Paul mentioned. E.I.F.S. is incredibly easy to install signs in, which makes this install even more horrendous.

I'd use the studs you can (even if it's one per letter (or none per letter)) and use VHB 4905. The stuff is super thin and barely notceable.

What a mess. Meh - who needs straight or centered signage...
