If it's in a concrete ceiling, I'm guessing parking garage or simar. If that's the case, your main concern needs to be avoiding PT cable. If you damage a PT cable, some pretty horrible things can happen. If you're drilling and see colored plastic bits coming out, your day just got really bad...

I typically use Hilti 1/4" drop-in anchors, their setting tool, eye bolts with a 1/4 20 thread, and aircraft cable with ferrules and thimbles.

It made me think the same thing when he made the FAA comment. I was laughing on the inside but then I immediately thought maybe there was some merit to what he said. Areas with low flying planes have those orange spheres on power lines, etc. When municipalities make their ordinances, is the FAA...

The black dot ruins it for me. It's too abrupt of a color change. I think white draws the eye in more. That being said, it feels like I'm staring at the sun. :covereyes:

The one thing that made me laugh about the Louisiana conversation was the guy at their Town Hall that I was talking to said, in a 100% serious tone, something to the affect of "you may want to check with the Parish.....and the FAA". :big laugh::big laugh::big laugh: You have to imagine it in a...

I didn't say "private property", I said in some areas "You can literally do whatever you want on your property.". That is just fact in some areas. Some municipalities have absolutely no restrictions or permit process for signs. One that sticks in my mind was a gas station in Louisiana. The sign...

I've posted this before.....my initial foray into the sign industry was compiling very detailed sign ordinance summaries for customers in municipalities all over the country. There are numerous places that truly have absolutely no sign ordinances, no restrictions and no permit requirements. You...

Oregon trail ran through multiple States, including Idaho (I'm sure you know). I just happen to know Oregon Trail Rd. is in Idaho. Driven down it a few times. lol....when we go visit family in NY, they always want to go to Texas Roadhouse. ugh.

That's actually in Idaho, south of Boise. Pretty great area.

Having spent a few years doing nothing but compiling sign ordinances from municipalities in pretty much every state in the Country, you need to get your answer from the municipality, in writing - not from an online forum. There are some municipalities out there with some pretty wild...

VHB along with Lexel - especially on the islands.

Yeah, you're getting into stuff that's not right in front of the customer like vinyl, dimensional letters, ADA signs, etc would be. Exterior signs are definitely more prone to picking up some blemishes.

I think if the spot your friend made is somewhere that no one will ever see it and it's not going to cause any future corrosion or discoloration due to exposed metal or some such thing, then no, I don't think that merits notifying the customer or anything along those lines. There are obviously...

My two cents: Anyone installing signs for another sign company should take full responsibility of the signage once they've received it and confirmed its in good condition. The sign company did their part in getting the signage safely to the installer. After that, the full responsibility of the...

Companies like this have a bulk set of email addresses that they blast the quote requests to. They're basically throwing it out and seeing what sticks. I guess I should stop referring Signs Unlimited to Texas_Signmaker every time they email me. :big laugh:

Out of all of my customers, I only have one sign company that uses a sign off sheet. That being said, the bulk of the page contains instructions on how to call in to their automated system once you arrive on site and then how to call in to indicate the job is complete, incomplete, etc. At the...

Might try Mr. Sign in Lakewood.

I would add them to the top similar to how Billct2 showed. There are plenty of ways to do it that look good and not like an afterthought. I see this frequently around Dallas. There are often clusters of buildings set off the road and there's no way to see the addresses that are on the buildings...

Does 5200 adhere/weld to PVC? Lexel adheres (etches/welds) to poly/acrylic/pvc and is half the cost.

To answer your first question, no. That being said, they're overpriced, but they pay for themselves quickly. There are no similar offerings that I'm aware of.
