  1. Top 5 Signage Mistakes

    I used to love Papyrus back in the 1990's. I don't use not unless I have to reset something. Bad kerning is something that drives me nuts.
  2. I was hired to wrap a vehicle and now they are mad at me... my blood pressure is through the roof!

    This might be one of the most informative things ever posted, I had no idea!
  3. At one time..........................................................................................

    LMAO!!! I can just picture you now...running with the flare in one hand, the gun in the other..."You'll never take me alive Taxman!!!" We just got back from Mexico...my niece, son and I got some pina coladas at 8:30am on day one. My mother was not impressed. We did not care, we went back for...
  4. At one time..........................................................................................

    I always have some beer some in fridge at the shop. If I stay late at night doing design work something non-dangerous I'll crack a few open!
  5. Extend lease or buy new building?

    My personal opinion is rent expense vs. rent income ends up being a wash. The advantage comes in when you start physical deductions for the building and the maintenance. Obviously a personal kitchen remodel expense can't be used for the shop if there's not a full kitchen but there's lots of...
  6. I was hired to wrap a vehicle and now they are mad at me... my blood pressure is through the roof!

    That's why I hate customer supplied artwork. No matter how experienced the designer is they rarely seem to have it right. I usually do look the artwork over closely and would tell them but in this case, it's not just a 4'x4' area. I would also offer to print the bottle and put it over the...
  7. Extend lease or buy new building?

    I have to lean towards DSGI on this one as far as taxes goes. I also have an LLC for my property and rent it to myself. I also have a 2 family and a storage shed attached to my shop all three rented out. I have a separate house that I live in. I always show a loss for the property as a whole. If...
  8. Prints on clear acrylic

    Following. I've only used solid cut vinyl on acrylic so I'm interested to hear about printed vinyl.
  9. Niagara Falls

    Mike we decided to all order a different meal and then we tried everyone's food since it was hard to decide what to order LOL!!! The steak was DELICIOUS also! We ate Chicago style pizza at Uno's also which was also excellent. BBQ ribs in St. Louis were very good! I think one of the best things...
  10. Sublimated Jerseys

    Thank you! Will check them out!
  11. laminate or not

    The plow just came through on my country road so I've got the van running and then heading in for a bit. We got about 12" here, how about by you?
  12. Sublimated Jerseys

    Hi All! Anyone have any leads on where I can order items like this printed? I might pass on it but I just want to check first. Thank you!
  13. laminate or not

    If you buy a printer, you can expand your business to making banners, signs and lettering local business vehicles also. White Haus is right, I personally have the HP115 which is 54" and I really like it - glad I didn't go smaller. For everything I do, it works very well, but lots of other...
  14. laminate or not

    I don't think you can make a quality product without laminating it. You have to remember, not all your customers will live in Florida. Up here in Wisconsin it snows and there's salt and sand on the roads. It is not uncommon to go through a car wash weekly or more if you are a picky person. In...
  15. laminate or not

    No - you have to laminate. You just charge accordingly.
  16. How to talk to unhappy employee’s.

    I just read yesterday that a guy died from a rooster attacking him. He took the rooster in after it attacked some kid. The rooster got him in the back of the leg and he bled to death. Hopefully you have some of those leather pants to protect yourself! LOL
  17. Not sure how to go about this................................ ??

    I took French in high school. I can only help you if they want to the sign to say "I play tennis" or "pants". I remember nothing else. Hope that helps! LOL
  18. How to talk to unhappy employee’s.

    Gosh Geneva, that's kinda scary having a stalker working for you! LOL If it's dark out, the door is locked. When the lights are on inside and it's dark out it's almost impossible to see who is outside banging on the door until I get right up to the glass.
  19. How to talk to unhappy employee’s.

    For now I keep a scissor in my back pocket and have my can of Raid handy by my computer. So far, I've only reached for my Raid a couple times but never actually touched the can to use it LOL
