Curious what others are using on high elevation window graphics (20-40 stories up) mounted outside the glass. Certain vinyls tend to melt after the sun gets to it after to long. Some are a pain to remove when the project is over. Photo Tex has been good to work with to resolve some of these...

There are cases you can buy that are suppose to substantially speed up drying times. I believe I saw them in either Fellers catalog or Sign warehouse catalog. The look like tall tubes almost. I haven't used them but have seen them.

Funny! He looks a lot like my son actually. Same hat but no glasses. I was born in the DC area and so was my son, but we moved when he was a baby, so he's eager to see DC now. He's also really eager to see California. So we have lots of ground to cover. As to you being tired and walking DC, it...

Wow, thanks! It does suit me very well. While it is no ones business, I am definitely excited to try new restaurants with my son, he wants to be a chef. It took me a moment to even catch the fact, that I did not derail this thread. I simply provided info, and started getting comments about me...

Loop back to the beginning of the thread Thanks Pat! I wanted to take a second a put some perspective on this thread. On my original posting my main question was specifically about approach to pricing a job like this. It was only when someone other than I, decided to start saying how the job...

Thanks! You are correct we all know stuff comes up. I think that is what made it so easy to work with the company hiring me, is because they do this on a daily basis, so if anyone knows how to deal with stuff that comes up, they do. It will be them dealing with the corporate client when things...

I just spent some time re-reading the whole thread. I did that because I do care about what I say and how I communicate. You are correct you were a first responder, and thank you for that. As mentioned a moment ago, I apologize for the trickle effect. I simply was trying to respond to the...

Wanted to respond this this post. I have thought about this trickle thing being brought up. It seems as I made my initial post, people started asking questions. To which I needed to answer them, and it brought out more information. It was never my intent to drag you or anyone along, and for...

Hi, just going back to see if I didn't reply properly to people. The cabinet company is more than just that, they also do entire renovations, new installs of entire stores. I am not sure, but I think they might be the largest and oldest in the country. At least top 5 for sure. So, they have the...

Bragging? About what? I am fully aware that a job like this is small potatoes to many on this site, and yeah maybe to some bigger than they are use to. However, you are so strange. I am not the first to point this out, but you seem to try SO hard to delve into the psychology of posters and then...

10 stores a day? What cloud did that come from? Now I am delusional? So you are resorting to personal attacks, nice. What part about this was in mid development do you not understand? Originally I would have wanted to do this with a small crew of my own, and for the first 500 that is what it...

Thanks fixtureman, the way the contract reads addresses some of these concerns. As you are correct I can not forsee all events. So, in the event something falls out of the ordinary, they have agreed in writing to evaluate those concerns and compensate where it is appropriate. Also, I am working...

With all due respect TimToad, on the very first post I said "It is a simple job". Yes the size of it is larger than normal, but the actual job is very simple. I did not come on here saying I don't know what I am doing. I simply came on here to get some ideas and I got them. I listened to every...

Sadly Gino you are making assumptions that are only coming out of thin air. I will leave you to that. The job is very easy. Yes I will enjoy time with my son, yes I will get around traveling. Yes it will cost money. No I have not given you every piece of information about this job. So just stop...

No all 3000 stores will be done by this time next year. Not 2017 or whatever you are thinking. After the first 500 are done, which will be around April, crew size will increase to meet deadline. This is something the client has requested. Once April comes, I will have an expanded crew in place...

Follow Up Thought I would update the thread. The company I am working with is very organized. I mean they have this down to a tee now. That is what the first roll out was about. Working the kinks out. That means when I am scheduled to show up at store A, it is ready for me. Once I finish my...

Can't do five a day no way no how? I swear some people on this forum just wanna start ****. Anyway, someone else asked about if there is 50 done a day how do I handle it. I mentioned already I have a couple people that would go with me. It is highly likely I will hire extra installers along...

Gino he's a young adult now, and is going through some personal problems. He has helped me many times installing vinyl, so there is no problems there. But yeah, that would be a hoot to see a sign installer with a stroller cruisin around, and a bit cookoo

I want to get out in the field in this situation. I think it is a good time for me to learn about an industry for one, meet some new people, and perhaps find business while on the road. In addition to that, I am going to bring my son with me on a few trips because as I said earlier on the...

It's not a promotion but decorative change. the change at the test markets doubled sales at that part of the store so they are happy to move forward. there aren't many companies that can do what this company does I have the feeling. they handle all 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, walmarts, and many more...
