No, that recommendation was just for Idaho. In Texas, you can only have a 2'x2' face, 16' skids are required, and you need to be a Master Sign Electrician.

4x8s are pretty standard. With 10' skids, the chances of it tipping over are slim. Drill holes in the ends and hammer in inward-angled rebar and it will be pretty bullet proof.

I obviously don't know what the regulations are up there.....but you may want to find out. In Texas, if you're not a licensed sign electrician, you're not even supposed to do something as simple as removing the faces if it exposes the electrical. It doesn't matter if you touch the electrical...

I agree but it wasn't my call. There were existing panels that they wanted replaced like-for-like. Same size, same location due to shadowing. I made suggestions and this is what they asked for.

My advice was for a 4x8, which is what the OP asked for. I did these years ago. They're flat and have never leaked.

That's why I suggested if screws are removed, to add compensating screws through the face. There are very few screws in a 4'x8' area on corrugated siding anyway, so there's not going to be any structural compromises. I also suggested using silicone where screws are used in order to prevent...

Self-tapping, exterior grade wafer head screws. If the existing screws make the panel uneven, pull them, silicone the holes and run additional of the above screws through the panel to compensate. Paint to match.

For what kind of work?

I dunno - I got married at the same time I started in the sign industry, so I'm not sure which one to blame. :p

I had dual monitors for a while but the "seam" right in the center was annoying plus I was always short on screen space. I moved to three 27" monitors but would still be short on screen space (I often have detailed floor/site plans, email(s), art, and a quote all open at once for one specific...

Yup. Use a 4" scraper to get the bulk of it. The thickness of the new tape should provide enough thickness to not have to remove ALL of the foam tape.

You can hardly walk into a business without there being cameras everywhere and it's been like that for years. They're intended to protect the business. No one gives them a second thought (except maybe those with criminal intent). But people put them in their homes to help protect their families...

thesignsyndicate.com would probably be a better fit for you. They're more focused on pylons, channel letters, etc.

Very few on here are running anything close to a crane or even a bucket truck.

I would recommend Spax #8 exterior wafer head screws. They would look a whole lot cleaner than Tapcons and require a smaller hole.

Having kids definitely gives you a different perspective, I 100% get that. Getting broken into gives you a different perspective also. He has each entry point covered, I don't personally see that as strange at all. Every entry point in my house is covered by at least one camera. Granted, my...

If I was a dad with kids, I would have the same concerns. Playing devils advocate here, though, the camera placement could be completely innocent on his part. The way his cameras are arranged gives him complete coverage of the front/front corners of his property and the street. If a burglar were...

Yeah, my post was kind of broad. There are definite areas that are viewed as "having an expectation of privacy" and I'm honestly not sure how that would play out legally. ie: having a camera pointed across the street toward someone's bathroom window vs toward your next neighbors bathroom window...

There's really not much you can (legally) do. This would fall into the category of "you can't trespass the eyes" and there being "no expectation of privacy in public". He could install a dozen cameras and aim them straight at your house and he would be within his rights.
