    I thought this was a retirement post. Guess we're not that lucky! ;)
  3. Cut vinyl prices peeling after 1 month

    A little weird that it looks like that, AFTER they pulled the transfer... if it's peeling that bad I'd guess the transfer would have pulled it off. I guess it's possible direct sun/heat coulda shrank it enough... looks like adhesive outline where it shrank is visible on the yellow.

    Wrap the roof too or it'll look bad. +1 for knifeless tape
  5. Need Help Finding the total area of a font?

    This takes 2 minutes. I'm sure it's annoying for the GAs, but they can suck it up... they don't have a job if sales can't sell it. Before I added "designer" to my hat rack, I used the GAs as a tool to figure this out. There is another way, but it's also annoying. 1. Have your sales go into...
  6. Need Help need help engineering concrete needed for sign installation

    Lake county just changed all building permits to 3 months, from 6. We had 2 jobs go over - large monument projects, and had to buy an extension. Since the hurricane, local engineering firms are stressed, fabricators are stressed - we had to dump our local guy because 1 month on engineering was...
  7. A little Maritime History

    So was on a weather site this AM - saw an old news article about the Lady Maryland, and it inspired me to write a little bit of history down. At the time, didn't realize it was an old news article.... but it all worked out. Hidden History: I used to work for Living Classrooms Foundation -...
  8. New Guy Hello, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

    Lancaster County, eh... How's the buggy wrapping business going?
  9. Need Help need help engineering concrete needed for sign installation

    Some of the wind load requirements down here in FL are insane... for a 40' pylon, you're probably gonna go 9' down within 20 miles of the coast. Even smaller signs require 3000psi, small rock, 3' x 3' x 6', etc... like, the sign is gonna fly away and end up 2 counties over before that sucker is...

    I stick my finger alongside the blade on an exacto, leaving about an 1/8" blade showing. Rub finger directly along material when held taut.

    How much peck could a co-peck peck if a co-peck could peck peck?
  12. Process.

    I'm originally a production guy that is good at sales, and who has gotten good at design. I work for a shop, not an owner. If I send a job to our GD, it goes in his queue - and it takes longer for me to get a project out. I use design/build as a sell tool - many people are visual and it helps...
  13. Suggestions Small to VERY Large :)

    Sounds like you might have some issues, even at 300 dpi (dots per INCH). How many dots per centimeter is that ;) If it was me, I'd get the DSLR outta hock and go get a RAW image of the nearest Kent & Curwen store, touch it up, and work from that. Can't beat good source material.

    You'd probably have issues if due process is revoked.

    Some ahole in this country of 350 million people has to make steel sign blanks. I'm just wondering who, specifically, that ahole is. ;)

  17. Need Help Am I calculating my cost correctly?

    Small decals are outside of normal square footage calculation. Additional time to finish/trim/weed/plot the products. We make up a price that the customer will agree with, and go from there. for a small decal like that we'd likely be around 50 cents per, ranging up to $2.00 depending on...
  18. Unicorn Material - What is it?

    Thanks for responses. 6mm, It has the rigidity of PVC pipe... looks like we have some disagreement on whether it is type 1 or type 2. Anyone have a brand name I can spec since we'll be outsourcing? It's definitely not colorcore. Image shows edge, as well as routed 1/8 deep letter. You can...
