  2. OSHA approved??

    It was a good movie! I watched it because my future husband, "Negan" from the Walking Dead is in it LOL
  3. Been chasing gray for years, finally realized the problem is in Flexi?! Please help me figure this out!

    I've had the same issue but I created my own profiles which is just CMYK 10%, 20% etc and I printed them out on glossy stock. I match my customer grays to one of these and print. I also printed out a pantone color book and use that. I'm lazy I guess (I like to call it efficient). I don't like...

  5. OSHA approved??

    Isn't there some job where you can climb a tower to change a lightbulb and they pay like $20k per bulb? I saw it on TikTok or FB...

    I use WIX. I will send you my link in a PM. I do a lot of stuff for students such as this week the cross country team is going to state. The coach contacted me about doing fatheads. I have a link on my website for them to order from and he sent it out to the team. This way all orders are easily...

    I think the covid lockdowns had something to do with it too. Everyone ordered from Amazon and you are used to getting stuff in two days.

    Yes - I don't want to add to my stress and I'm not sure I want to be a boss, I'm already a landlord since I was 19 and that's like babysitting. Dealing with people gets old after a while. Over the weekend one of my renters had a squirrel in the basement that chewed it's way through a basement...
  9. Need a lighted sign box - where to start

    One of my good customers who owns a roofing and construction company asked if I could give him an estimate for a lighted sign box approximately 13'x7'. His guys would hang it and his electrician would hook it up. I just need to purchase it and letter it. Being that I'm the only sign shop now I...
  10. Should I buy this saw?

    I'm pretty excited now! Seems like everyone loves their panel saw, I should know tomorrow if I got it!
  11. Okay, I think I have a winner here..................................................................................

    At Gino's age I would think he would have seen everything but every couple month's he shows up with some crazy customer who is crazier than the last! Ikarasu...how on earth does that guy stay in business??? That takes the cake...
  12. Should I buy this saw?

    I think it's because they are a large company and they just want to get rid of stuff. I guess they have auctions pretty often on mostly junk. I put a bid in for $551. I was trying to pretend I was on The Price is Right...added $50 and then added $1...IDK, we will see what happens. I found a...
  13. Okay, I think I have a winner here..................................................................................

    I noticed that yesterday. Two sign companies closed up by me so that leaves me. I got 3 new companies just yesterday for a total of 6 vehicles...but none of them were in a big hurry - whenever I can fit them in my schedule...I haven't heard that since before Covid.
  14. Should I buy this saw?

    OK I think the same thing. The on OK I think the same thing. One bid, highest bid gets it
  15. Should I buy this saw?

    I still don't have a panel saw. This exact saw is on silent auction, still in the box, at a local factory. 1. Is this going to work for me to cut down ACM and .040 aluminum? Of course there will be no warranty. 2. It's purchase price was $1800.00 - what would you bid? (one guy bid so far and...

    Thanks for all the replies everyone! Yes, I have been turning people away. Any "person" coming in gets turned away by my minimum - two yesterday. I tell them it's temporary during busy periods. I've got smaller-medium stuff pushed out a couple weeks. So just this morning I had a small...

    When I first started 6 years ago a gal "Sara" was in business in the next town. She got sick of the fast pace and customers and locked the door and put it for sale. A girl opened up a new shop down the road from her and she did beautiful work - way better designs than me. I really got scared she...
  18. Deposit / need more money

    I have had a couple customers who demand an exact price upfront. There are a few jobs where if I'm removing vinyl or something sketchy - I don't want to commit to an exact price. Be careful that you estimate these high enough because they are often trying to lock you into a lower price. One...
  19. Late fee?

    I really hate asking for money. I usually send a "reminder" and play dumb the first time like, "hey just sending the invoice again, not sure if I gave it to you or not" or "My accountant is on my a$$ to get my invoices paid in full" or "Did you forget something? LOL" 99/100 times the customer...
  20. Printer Problems! Is something stuck?
