This is a pointless discussion. The type of mass shootings we're seeing right now are entirely preventable with some common sense legislation but that's not possible in a world where people advocating for gun control are considered snow flakes and bleeding hearts. We're putting hammers in the...

As I said, you should look into net metering. If it's available, it's typically the right choice, but in states like Wisconsin, based on a google search, the rules are all over the place due to a lack of regulation. As for your neighbor, net zero is different than net metering. Net zero...

I'm familiar with his videos. They only choose to talk about non-grid tied systems and it's important to remember he lives in Vegas, works from home, and gets most of his stuff for free or cheap. If he buys something, it's a business expense and he likely makes it back and then some from...

I would strongly recommend looking into a grid-tied system before jumping into an off-grid system. The big problem with off-grid systems is the energy storage. Assuming you work during the day and charge during the night, you need a battery system large enough to charge your vehicle overnight...

To hit a few points a lot of people miss: 1. Electricity prices vary a huge amount regionally. Much more than gasoline. Ignoring solar users, people can pay around $.06/kWh up to $.45/kWh hour. That's 7.5x more expensive. It changes the ROI a huge amount. 2. Trucks have the easiest break...

So I guess the choice was a Facebook discussion...

I've had an EV for a year. Most of the information posted here is incorrect information spread by special interest groups. Are EVs perfect? Absolutely not. They have flaws, but let's not kid ourselves, making your current vehicle is hardly perfect either. I'd be happy to answer anyone's...

You need to evaluate the problems. With this job, it's obvious there are three problems. 1. The actual end product is just bad. It would be one thing if you're just printing out customer supplied artwork, but it sounds like you're a full service sign shop. Obviously this is a pretty small...

One of my customers is a fairly large town in Union County. I had a 4ft x 8ft x2" - 20lbs HDU sign made up for them and a 24x36 bronze plaque. While clarifying ship dates, my customer all of a sudden informed me the DPW / parks department doesn't want to do the install now, which was always...

I've been less lucky with ARK Ramos sadly. First order took a long time and the quality was pretty mediocre overall. Second order, they guaranteed a delivery date, then walked it back, claiming it was my fault. Now they've missed their second delivery date and haven't refunded me for the rush...

A ton of designers don't think about it, but what does a 1 or 2 color logo look like / B&W logo look like? If you haven't done it, I'd throw it in as an add-on service. That way if they want to get something engraved or screened, they can.

This thread is a shit show. Simply put, the rules were/are that you weren't supposed to be able to sign up for the site unless you were a professional in the industry. You could be an absolute beginner, but still, someone attempting to make money making signs. It wasn't designed for someone...

1. Gino is correct. This is a forum for professionals. Not hobbyists. 2. A lumber yard, a real lumber yard, should be able to help you find a better product. 3. Realistically, sealing up the wood edges and multiple coats of primer and good exterior grade paint are going to be the things that...

Anyone that does dimensional sign work will be able to do it. It's a pretty straight forward job. You just need to talk to them to make sure they're going to use a small bit. My guess is you'll need to use a 1/8" or 3/16" bit to do that work. Some shops won't have bits that small.

You can spend $5-10/mo for web hosting with a domain, and get free email as a result. The downside of this is it will be shared hosting and this can absolutely result in your email getting blacklisted. This happened to me a few years back and I had a real problem emailing about 10% of my...

PirateShip. UPS more than USPS recently as the rates have become very similar at this point. I won't touch FedEx. Too inconsistent due to their company structure.

Do you have to use One Shot? Their reputation has gone down so much over the last 20 years once they changed their formula. There are a ton of good latex paints out there that work great.

Thanks for confirming what I already expected. And yes, it's Kimp.io. I thought I could potentially get away with it because it's really just changing copy on items like that. It's genuinely low level "design" work. It's barely design work. It's typsetting and basic Illustrator functions...

Long story short, we use a very old version of Illustrator in the shop (CS3) for a variety of reasons. Many not very good reasons, but it is what it is. I'm trying to work with a design service to push some of my overflow work to them as I'm needed more in doing business related tasks. I have...

Wrisco maybe?
