  1. Chapter 3...

    ....with Chapter 1 being my 10 year employment at Chandler Signs and Chapter 2 being the 12 years as Owner-Operator of Precision Sign Services. Chapter 3 consists of seeking a remote or hybrid (remote with travel) position in the industry. LinkedIn post HERE if interested in the longer version...
  2. Collapsible skid signs...

    I have a customer that puts these up and takes them down fairly often. They may need three put up or taken down in a given day, which, in the past, has meant handling and transporting six of the upside down ⅄ shape pieces. Those essentially take up 8' x 8' worth of space. Transport can be tricky...
  3. Any vinyl wall covering installers in Iowa?

    I have a potential install there and could use an extra hand if it pans out. PM me if interested.
  4. Removing tape-mounted panels, etc.

    Figured I'd post this up in case it might help others. I was asked to remove this panel and a few letters so some repairs could be made behind the glass panels. I was told if anything breaks, they could remake it, but obviously the preference was to get everything off in one piece. That did...
  5. 10 years down...

    I posted five years ago about my five-years-in-business anniversary. I'm not going to post every five years....but 10 is a big one, so yeah, I'm posting. :) When I started the business in 2011, my intent was to provide surveys, transport, and installation services for other sign companies. I...
  6. Pittsburgh area install assistance...

    I may have a pretty large install coming up in the Pittsburgh area. Curious if there's anyone on here in that area that may be able to assist, or know of someone that may be able to. It's simple work, there's just a lot of it. Basically, there are around 11,000 acrylic tags that need to be...
  7. Anyone know this one?

  8. Post holes with a drill...

    This obviously won't work in every situation, but should do the trick for most installs around here when only needing to dig two or three holes. Anything over that and I'll use a tow-behind auger. In the video, I'm using a 6" auger with a 24" blade height. If needing a 10" or 12" diameter hole...
  9. This is pretty great...

    This is not my work, just wasn't sure where else to post. I was installing here today and thought this was pretty awesome. The entire 923' long skybridge (where the red arrows are on the left) and the main building (starts in the first pic where the red arrows are on the right) and ends in the...
  10. Phenomenal....

    Good filler if you have some downtime. This kid is ridiculous. Taj Farrant, ten years old, has been playing for less than three years. His own pieces are pretty great and he absolutely kills it on pieces by Santana, SRV, Johnson, Satriani, Moore, Vai (below) and others. Excited to see where this...
  11. "Essential Critical Infrastructure" & "Critical Trades"

    Writing this from the research gathered as one who only installs signs. I don't manufacture. I don't have vendors that manufacture. I don't sell anything. I strictly install. Despite the impending Shelter in Place order, I have a number of customers (sign companies) still wanting their signs...

  13. Possible alternative to Lexel...

    Home Depot now carries a product under the Dap name called UltraClear. As far as I can tell, from what I've observed so far, this is the same as Lexel. It smells the same, it dries crystal clear, it's paintable and it specifically lists being compatible with acrylic and polycarbonate. No other...
  14. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    ...Actually for dimensional letters, concrete drilling, etc. Rather than get drywall dust all over the wall and floor, I've been using the DeWalt cordless Flexvolt extractor and the suction ring. The extractor comes with a fob that you can put on your wrist or wherever. I put it on the hose of...
  15. DeWalt Cordless Heat Gun

    This thing is pretty great. It's obviously not for everything, but for other things, it's perfect. Case in point, I had to remove quite a bit of 1" vinyl lettering and replace with new today. I tried getting it off with a fingernail first and it would remove somewhat easily, but every piece...
  16. Masking full-coverage frosted vinyl....

    Dusted Crystal vinyl was recently shipped to me from an out-of-state customer. It was for full coverage of exterior windows. Largest pieces were about 48"x48", then there were some smaller pieces about 30"x48". These are solid pieces with the exception of some small lettering on the largest...
  17. New DeWalt Flexvolt Worm Drive Style Circular Saw

    Brand new, complete kit minus the battery. Includes only what is shown. Will ship in original box. $260 shipped to the lower 48.
  18. Vinyl removal...

    Using the DeWalt Power Station to power this McCullough steamer. Works great for removing vinyl. Portable, no on-site electrical needed, no chance of scraping the glass from using a scraper and removes all adhesive residue.
  19. Bosch GBH18V-26 18V SDS Rotary Hammer Drill

    I've primarily used this to drill ¼" x 1" holes for drop-in anchors. It works flawlessly and is one of the best performing rotary hammers in its class and also the lightest. I'm selling because I had too many battery platforms. I've gradually replaced all of my Bosch tools with DeWalt mainly due...
  20. TX Bosch Cordless 18v Grinder, Band Saw, Impact, Vacuum

    I need to thin down battery platforms. With what I have invested in Flexvolt stuff, I'm clearing these out and replacing with DeWalt. All tools are lightly used. Vacuum is a bit scratched up but works perfectly. Prices are firm and include shipping to the lower 48: Grinder: SOLD Band Saw...
