  1. Well, here tis.....................................................

    Only you would ask this question! LOL
  2. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    I typically do not install customer supplied graphics. There are exceptions. I have a snowmobile hood here right now and the graphics came with the hood. They are 3M. I did agree to install them. I've had quite a few walk ins with graphics from Amazon or China and I look the vinyl over. If it's...
  3. Noob from Wisconsin

    Welcome! I'm in Wisconsin also. I've been to Hudson a few times...I used to work at Land O' Lakes and visited the trailer where the ladies from LOL and NFPT worked out of. I can only remember Annette...she was a real spitfire. Anyway, your work is very nice!!
  4. Well, here tis.....................................................

    The only cross dresser person I know I would NEVER want to be in a bathroom with. He is very scary as a man, I haven't talked to him as a woman but I can't imagine the personality would change much. I'll just pee behind a bush.
  5. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    Plenty of times I've squeezed something in or hit a deadline the customer didn't expect me to hit and I've gotten thanked up and down and given a nice monetary tip. I've gotten gift cards too.
  6. proofing

    I'm fine with "looks good" but what I meant was I sent 3 options and they just send back "looks good" - I'm glad they all look good but you need to chose an option ..... 1, 2 or 3? Can't print them all LOL
  7. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    Isn't that crazy! I made 3 - 20' signs and 2 indoor acrylic signs for a local company. They were on my A$$ about getting them finished. That was 2 months ago and they still didn't hang them up. The right deadline got me a little stressed out for nothing LOL
  8. Client refusing payment

    I had a guy like this once. Restaurant business and didn't have the money. I went to the restaurant, took a deep breath, sat down at the bar and said in a friendly tone, "Hi Nick! I'm here to pick up my check." He said he would mail it...I said, "Nope, I'll take it now, I'll wait." There was a...
  9. Wrap material alternatives (the saga continues July 2022)

    I just received my first roll of Arlon SLX+. Will be using it tomorrow for a partial trailer wrap.

    LMAO! Yes! And then you have to think how to reply back! "I'm glad you like them! Is there one that sticks out most, I will get the job moving asap once we have a winner!"
  11. proofing

    Yes! This guy sent me "I need 11 copies of all these phrases in 1" lettering." Well - one inch to me and you is different than his 1". He chose option 2. I'm pretty careful when people send me exact sizes. I usually follow up with something like this - just to make sure.
  12. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    I live by Road America, I get requests often for same day decals. I usually do them. They don't care how much it costs, they have never once asked. Those kind of install jobs can always be done after shop hours. You decide how much your personal time is worth. If I have nothing going on that...
  13. proofing

    I sent this 10 minutes ago concerning sponsorship signs for a golf outing. Good Morning, I have all the proofs attached. I adjusted Dimond Bros, Macco's and removed some wording from New York Life so the logo's can be larger. Let me know your thoughts, I can make any adjustments, thank you!

    Hi Richard, probably not...I really hate doing the design stuff, I actually try and hire that part out also LOL
  15. How To question - Metal Sign ??

    Just for comparison, estimate the signs both ways. Estimate your time to go, unscrew the sign, bring back to your shop, clean, apply vinyl, hang back up. Then estimate just making the new sign in the shop. You'll be surprised the cost of you removing and cleaning the sign might be very close to...
  16. Recession

    You don't have to start working after school or college. You can live in your parents basement and travel for a year...a kid would be an inconvenience, much less two. I notice the amount of people who have dogs vs. kids is astronomical vs. when I grew up. People bring their mangey mutts in my...
  17. Glo in the Dark vinyl

    Thanks! She just emailed and said they will go with reflective for inside...I like that idea better. For next time, how does that glo material hold up? Have you been told how long it holds it's glo?
  18. Recession

    I have to laugh at Notareal...he's on point! My BF's son was helping for a while, he did pretty well but I would remind him the night before to show up at 9 and he wouldn't show up. Get home and "oh I thought you meant tomorrow" - wouldn't answer his phone or my texts but was on his phone all...
  19. Recession

    I notice when small businesses begin to slow, they offer deals or coupons. When I start to see that, then I will assume things are slowing. The local garage door guy got a full time job. He was waiting so long for garage doors he didn't have enough work for a couple months. He still does them...
