Actually, what he's showing in the photo is just perforated metal. Expanded metal has the diamond-shaped pattern due to being pressed and literally expanded.

Edit: Now that I re-read your post, it sounds like you're talking about creating a hole in existing concrete to set a post into. If that's the case, the best method is to rent a core drill, drill your core, and then remove the required amount of dirt below the concrete. You can also use a rotary...

If you only have a couple of holes a digging bar and sharp shooter work pretty well. Since you're dealing with clay in Charlotte, if you're digging any more than a couple of holes, you may want to look into renting a tow-behind auger from Home Depot or similar. They make digging in clay and...

That's E.I.F.S. (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), not stucco. One of the brand names is Dryvit, as Paul mentioned. E.I.F.S. is incredibly easy to install signs in, which makes this install even more horrendous.

I'd use the studs you can (even if it's one per letter (or none per letter)) and use VHB 4905. The stuff is super thin and barely notceable.

What a mess. Meh - who needs straight or centered signage...

Any office furniture surplus dealer (assuming you're talking about the desk). If you're talking about the perforated metal, I would use McNichols.

You misspelled 'misspelled'. :smile: just messing with you...

Is the block wall flat? If so, just flush mount the panels to the block and avoid the whole frame.

You can get 24" wide rolls of VHB tape. Get your wallet out though. You can get 48" also if you don't mind applying for a small loan. You can also buy sheets. I know there are 8.5" x 13". I forget if it comes in other sheet sizes.

Oversized as in thicker or wider?

Without knowing the size of the driveway, the property layout or the nature of the business, I would think a banner would be the best solution. Install supports on opposite sides of the driveway and provide a banner with grommets and bungees so the customer can easily remove or install as they wish.

Looks good. An extruded frame is a good way to hide the LED's. A 1" deep frame, ½" at the bottom is for the LED strip to sit in, the other ½" is for the acrylic to sit in.

Nice! Good job.

Looks good!

Hope it has weep holes.

He just means to screw it so it's secure.

Yes, I'd go with 6 mil.
