They are single sided "burma shave" signs touting a new community and its features. The signs are 3mm aluminum composite bond with full color PSA vinyl. I plan on using two posts and (3) 2*4 cross beams between the posts for mounting and stability of the sign. My main concern is with the 10'...

A new customer wants to have there 108" * 60" (9' * 5') signs mounted on wood posts elevated to 5' off the ground (10' overall height). Before I submit revised pricing to them and plans for permitting, I wanted to see what size posts you guys think I will need and if additional bracing will be...

Thanks for the recommendation - I might try that one next. I hear you about typos etc - I used to work in the publishing industry and I was frequently the last set of eyes before something went to press. My eyes seem to get drawn towards typos. That is the bad part about the "new" world of so...

About half way through the book and I've got to be honest, I only put it down last night when I could not keep my eyes open any longer! Wish I would have found this book sooner but better late than never. I am going to start implementing the plans in it with the very next check I get from ANY...

So, my wife and I are taking a Financial Peace University (Dave Ramsey) course and after class the other day, I mentioned to the class leader that I am self employed and have been struggling with cash flow etc. He is also self-employed and suggested I pick up the book "Profit First." He is in...

Based on that website, I would not be doing business with my #1 customer - D.R. Horton Homes. They have an even lower rating. As a matter of fact, after looking at the other builders' ratings on that site, I'd say don't ever deal with any home builder - They pretty much almost ALL had terrible...

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

I was contacted the other day by Ryan Homes, a national homebuilder that is going to start building in my area. They contacted me because I deal with D.R. Horton Homes and somebody from DRH has gone to work in their new Southeast Florida Division. The gal I talked to said that I "came highly...

That's Pretty!!! Good work

Good ideas - thanks for the input. The customer is still trying to decide. I will let you know how he decides. Narrow streets + 55& older community = nasty parking arguments. The VP of the company building the community says the residents are worse than 2 and 3 year old kids

Good ideas - just submitted this to the client

A builder client of mine is having issues in their new development with people clogging up the rather narrow streets. He wants to start having people park on the same side of the road and alternating which side is used daily. How the heck do I word this for him? He wanted to use left and...

Your price is more than fair. If they think you are overcharging ask what they do and how much they charge. I bet they are "overcharging" too...I hate when people that have no idea how to do something think they know how much you should be charging.

Plus a business card :Big Laugh

Welcome to the Sunshine State!! Good luck with your business :thumb:

Thanks!

Got a new job from an old contact that moved from one builder to another. He sent me a really low res logo file to work from. Anybody know what font this is? What the font was no help

Thanks a lot guys. I really want to thank Gino. I have lurked on the site and read Many of your posts. You have given many people sage advice that I have learned from even when I haven't replied. Your insight is invaluable. I am totally stoked and inspired by this to go out and knock on...

Cheers!

Long story short - I have been in business for myself (this go around) for a little more than 4 years here in South Florida. First two years I had some great growth. Then I expanded my other business (I restored muscle cars) and tried to work both businesses. After 2 years of doing that, I...
