Thanks for all the replies. After reading these posts I told my client I will not install the sign without having it approved by a structural engineer. I am offering to pay the cost of the engineer since it was poor judgement on my part to overlook the implications of the installation before I...

Looking for a sturdy and attractive way to connect aluminum sign posts to concrete pad or sidewalk. I have a 4'x6' x 6mm aluminum composite sign, single face, to be installed on two 4"x4"x .125 wall aluminum posts. Top of sign is 6' to grade. We have thought of angle brackets on the back side of...

The biggest advantage to using Stouse to make the labels is that I can send them an Excel sheet with all the wording contained on the sheet. I don't know what their process is for making the labels. Otherwise I would have to layout each individual label manually. As I mentioned there are many...

Need to supply my customer with about 1400 labels for outdoor equipment. Size 3" x 15" black background with 2" high reflective yellow letters. I have an Excel sheet with the text for each label in one cell, there are a lot of duplicates but too many labels to layout individually. Stouse can...

The local PC guy suggested Bitdefender. He suggested I sign up with him for a monthly contract, if I understand correctly $75 per computer. I can buy the software online for about $60 per year for 5 computers.

So it's time for a new anti virus program - any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks unclebun!

How about this? Any idea where to get something like this made? Just thought I would ask.

Client is looking for a brass plaque with raised brass letters/logo with brass background. Gemini doesn't make this. Looking for a source to produce this 12" x 20" similar to the one in the photo. Thanks.

My client is planning on buying a Tesla truck for his pest control business. The body is stainless steel and he asked me if my vinyl will stick to it. Anyone have experience with high performance vinyl on a Tesla stainless steel body? I am wondering if there is a coating on the surface that...

I had posted a new thread about the black jpgs, not seeing this one, because this issue is problematic for me too. I am using Corel X7. I Googled this issue and saw a bunch of replies, but no real solutions. I tried the "Microsft Advisor" chat for help but what I got was a link to a website...

Thanks for sending me to the other thread. Apparently it's not me, but Microsoft. :(

I have jpg files on my hard drive, mostly sign drawings exported out of Corel Draw, that are appearing solid black when I try to import them. I just did a test and emailed one to myself and when I clicked on it I get a solid black rectangle. I can see that the image is there but it seems to have...

I would argue to the customer that the sign serves its "intended use", meaning that it is meant to be seen and read from a distance and it does serve that purpose. So the idea of complaining about a minuscule flaw is not reasonable. If anything, I might give a small discount for the mark in the...

I forgot which is the paralell and which is the serial - is the male (pins poking out) the serial? The holes paralell? Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I set this thing up 20 years ago. So I would need a serial to USB or vice versa? Are the adapters bidirectional or does it not matter?

What is a pci or pcie slot? I'm looking at the back of the new computer and I have what looks like USB ports.

I have an old Graphtec plotter that plugs into my old computer via a "female" connector. My old computer died. I need to plug into my new computer that does not have that type of port on the back of the computer. Can I buy some kind of adapter to plug into a UBS port on the new computer? What...

I've had mixed results using paint mask. I've tried Gerber, Orafol and Avery paint mask products and none have been without bleeding under the mask on a painted drywall surface. I'm using latex paints. I've had to go back and hand paint a "clean up" outline on the letters, which worked out OK...

I've been happy using EstiMate software for the past many years. Recently my hard drive crashed. I replaced it and re-loaded EstiMate but the data files I backed up are not copying over to the new install. I am looking at alternative estimating programs that may be similar. I want to be able to...

I'm thinking about using a piece of glass mounted to a lobby wall for a directory of tenant's names in vinyl. It's easy to remove vinyl on glass, unlike other substrates, just use a single edge razor blade and scrape off the old letters and stick on new ones. What are the down sides to using...
