  3. Contractor Woes - If its not in my quote am I liable for it?

    OK, so the contractor wont allow you to "add" for something missed but wants "credit" for something taken out, what your dealing with is a class A D**khead. When he asked for that credit you should have replied "Sorry bid has already been submitted" as far as what you missed how much money...
  4. Potentially being sued

    I doubt very seriously this goes any further, just chalk this up as "I should have known better." IMO people that truely will sue someone will not announce it. I think the product was crap to begin with BUT as life goes, "You touched it and now its your fault"

    Jesus Christ wtf is wrong with some of you. I come from a time where things "may" have to be altered to work in some situations. maybe Im too lax but I dont sit and read every document of a freaking guideline.

  6. Need Help Need a layout done correctly for new Century 21 rebrand

    you have to take in account the odd shaped signage that the logo was done on. there was some alterations and the agent submitted for approval to Century 21, it was approved and job was done. Sounds to me like you take guidelines to heart and go strictly by the book. I do not conform to rules of...

    Heres mine I did. When I pull up guidelines I grab the logos and grab the colors look at a few dos and donts picture and thats about it. Those other 40 pages of garble I dont bother with. I do the layout for the agent and he submits and it got approved. If any changes are to be made I make them

  11. First time PVC user - Can I flat glue small pieces to wood signs/ exterior

    an adhesive has to be "soft" and flexible, it gives with the climates. A construction adhesive such as Liquid nails does not work just as notarealsignguy mentioned.

  13. Font choices...

    I will take their logo and I will compliment it with fonts I think work best. Most times than not it works and they accept, sometimes they will request different. if they suggest a crappy font I try and educate them on being professional and what would be most legible for their needs.
  14. What's worse than covid-19? Customers not paying.

    Repoed one monday last week, it was a lexan face that was cleaned off and relettered and reinstalled. Customer went silent for approx 2 months. MIRACULOUSLY after taking sign down at 6am he texted and called at 9am, I posted the repo on facebook and called him out. After payment was made, I put...

    My PC has been great for graphics. Dell XPS i7. No slowdowns no chocks (of course the exception is when I get a 2 gb layout from an ad agency that tries to kill illustrator) thats another story. Other than that PC for me
  16. First time PVC user - Can I flat glue small pieces to wood signs/ exterior

    yes you can. Ive had great luck with priming the rear of PVC and placing dots of silicone on rear of PVC and laying them on the wood. Try your best to scuff the wood where the pvc will lay. IMO laying dots of silicone is better than running stripes, if you will. BTW nice clean sign

  18. Installing signs without a permit

    If I do a sign in a small neighboring town I am not going thru the hell of getting a license and a permit for that 1 job. Have I been busted, yes. All they did was make me go get license and permit after I played stupid and acted like the store owner was supposed to handle that. Its all about...
  19. Steps to fix slow, unresponsive computer
