that's not too bad. I'd do it, and up charge for being in the water... I just had to do a sail boat in the water, from a dingy... that truly sucked...

yep. mine broke last year, and I tried all types of epoxies to repair... good and bad news... bad news is it is a $600 to $700 part, good news is it isn't hard to change. But you can write it off on your taxes. I forgot to do that this year, so I will attempt to take it off on next years taxes.

congrats. you will love your summa. I got mine something like 12 years ago, and it is a tank. the only part I've had to replace was the head, but that was because the arm for the tool holder broke... Now, just grab some Kleen Cut blades (best on the market) any you will be set.

it looks close to one of the sign DNA fonts. I can't remember the name, but that's what my old brain is telling me.

Problem is, they don't send a key with the install CD. You have to contact them, and the last time I needed one, they told me they were not sure how long they would supply an unlock code... I was pissed, because I bought the software, and paid a good bit, and should have access to it as long as...

as long as the check clears, I could give a flying rats @ss

I, like most sign guys, I assume, have sheets of yellow notebook pad laying everywhere, with notes, and orders just scribbled on them. Most I know what they are, but some are numbers, or a crude outline of a door, or other body shape (vehicles, you perverts) with numbers written on them, and I...

That's not like any Summa that I've ever seen, but I've only been looking at them since about 2000. This may be an earlier model. There should be a serial number tag on the back. Can you get a picture of it? If it is a Summa, man, that's a testament to the quality of their machines. I should...

My brother. He kept me from experimenting with drugs. Long story short, he was busted with his own stash when coming to visit. I overheard my dad tell my mom that he had to put the house up to get him out of jail, and when your 8 or 9 years old, you don't understand just what that meant. So for...

And it would be easier to lay the faces down flat, place the graphics on the face, application taped side down, and peel the backing off, spray the adhesive with lots of soapy water, lift the side and spray underneath, flip, and place them. squeegee from the center out, respray, and squeegee...

I assume your installing on a sign face (polycarb or acrylic)... If so, lots of soapy water... lots... it can't be too wet. use a pump up sprayer and soak it down...

nah, just easier to cut them and replace...

pole pockets and pipes are installed. instead of attaching the straps to the structure, I attach top to bottom, and sides to the support structure, but not to the walkway. I don't want anyone to have to navigate and possibly trip, which could be a tragic accident. If you have any questions...

Does it have pockets, with poles helping to keep it tight now? When I was at Headrick in Mississippi, they still used individual panels, and painted, but that was 20 years ago, but in the last couple of years, on the ones I have replaced, it had pole pockets on all 4 sides. If there isn't now...

in Maryland it's law to have insurance. big fines if you don't... I am thinking that it is the fact that it's a 36 year old truck, and parts could be difficult to find... I really like the old square body s10s, and finding one with a utility body is rare. it's gonna be an eye catcher when I...

I am about to pick up a new to me shop truck. It is an '86 s10 with a utility body, and I called my auto insurance agent, and she said that because of the utility body, it has to be insured as commercial. I get that, but she said (without the vin) that for liability, i will be looking at $400...

I've had some close calls. I almost got decapitated by a 1/4" sheet of aluminum. I was running a 100' skyhook, and had a guy about 70' up working on a sign, he took the bottom plate off to access the lamps, and placed it into the ladder rungs and it started sliding down the boom. I was...

I'm sorry to hear about your son. I am glad that he called to get help. He will need your support, as the road to recovery is a long one. It may be a while, and be patient, but it will be worth it in the end.

I just quoted a lettering on a boat...and the owner is hemming and hawing on the price... Using Real Gold 22kt material, with a teal outline, doing a boat name, port of call, and (2) registration numbers for $750 ( including removal of old info )... thing is this is going on a 50' yacht, that...

I was asked to reletter a boat, and use the same material that was there. what the original sign guy used was a florentine pattern gold. the gold is not a bright gold, but a more "washed out" tone. could it be faded out, or is it a satin type of material? normally I wouldn't worry about it...
