  1. Unique project - need fabrication advise!

    Actually, RJ's got a good idea. Once you create your mounting system you can order fake foliage to match this type of shrub and you can then attach some to each of the rods after you paint them green to match the shrub. Maybe you can make this thing detachable from the mounting plate for the...

    The landscaper is going to hate you.
  3. USPS Craziness

    Must work for Hermes in Germany, a parcel delivery service.
  4. Has anyone ever put graphics on Birch Plywood?

    Did the vinyl stick? Last year I made some for my cousin, he had 1 maple set and 1 pine set. I told him to clear coat, well he didn't and then he called and said the vinyl wouldn't stick...I think it stuck OK to the maple but not the pine. Once he clear coated it stuck fine then he went over it...
  5. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    Yes, that's correct. I'm higher on my vehicles and cut vinyl than other shops in my area. I might be a little low on banners but I lost a few jobs last year with school for being too high so maybe I'm not? The last few weeks with all our "city drama" it's divided the city into conservatives...
  6. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    I like to have a base price and add for artwork. No 2 banners are usually the same price, which is the way I like it. Keep them guessing.
  7. Has anyone ever put graphics on Birch Plywood?

    Very similar to the many cornhole boards I've made vinyl for. They absolutely need to put a couple coats of a glossier clear on it. Most people tell me they use 2-3 coats then apply the vinyl. If it's cut vinyl they apply 2 more finish coats. I use the 3MIJ35 vinyl and it works well and then add...
  8. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    I would start at $150 and add art charges. Some people just want a "congratulations Sara and Bob" black on white...no proof, that's a quick and easy set-up. More than that they pay for art fees. A lady came in yesterday asking how much a banner is for a "congratulations Sara and Bob" type...
  9. Wall Mural on wall with wood planks

    I'm no wall mural expert but I should would not apply a vinyl wrap to that wall. I think your idea of ACMS or something similar with stand-offs is the way to go. It will also give that long boring wall some dimension. I think by the time you calculate your cost of ACM/stand off installation and...
  10. Rush Fees

    You are SOO right! I had a guy who NEEDED a sign...charged him extra, got it done 3 weeks ago. He picked it up yesterday LOL

    She's the kinda girl your mom warned you about...
  12. What is your quoting procedure?

    I like it quite a bit. As I said, it's a bit clunky. Lots of times I skip the estimate and go directly for the work order but you can't do that, you have to create an estimate then change it to a work order. The pricing seems to be in line with what I typically charge. You can download a free trial.
  13. Do you charge no-show fees?

    One thing that I find helps is I have the customer drop the vehicle off the night before. I have a mailbox slot on my building for keys. I tell them either have it to the shop by 7am or drop it off the night before. 90% of people drop it off the night before, that way, I can get started right at...
  14. Do you charge no-show fees?

    Many years being a landlord has taught me that if I don't want to waste my time waiting for a no show at an apartment that I call or text 1-2 hours before. Same goes for vehicles except I call/text/email the day/night before. To some people's point - no, none of us stand around if there's a...
  15. Need Help Removing old dead vinyl

    I think instead of the number 111 it's actually purple fishnet stocking hanging out the window from the adult store...the car guys his wife must have 3 legs.

    I had to read it twice! Thought it said Pantera LOL
  17. Install sign off or approval processes?

    Oh gosh yes that’s a far distance for you to drive for double checking or installing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Install sign off or approval processes?

    Out of curiosity, this is a pretty simple install, is there a reason one of you wouldn't try to tackle at least a few easier installs? I'm one person and I do some installs but I don't do too much that requires more than just myself. On actual signs that get screwed into building or set into the...
  19. Horrifying sound at night...

    That's awesome! We finally had some rain yesterday and today, a nice gentle light rain. I'm excited to get in the garden and see if my seeds are finally popping up.
  20. Rush Fees

    If it's a good customer and it's just here and there then I do it. Here's the "one-man shop" problem with rush jobs. If I have other jobs that are due by 5pm and let's say I have my son's football game at 7pm and it's an hour away and I have to put my spirit gear and snowsuit on - no amount of...
