I need to say.. I agree. Most times I see this stuff on here and I will just pass it over. But occasionally I am guilty of participation also. I figure if someone is going to stick their fingers in there I feel compelled to at least explain what I do know about how to do it the right way; how to...

Today; "Can your workers hammer more quietly please" (not the first time for that one actually). Monday; My service guy says "Sir, we cant install the awning cause there is a 15' thick snow drift in the way the entire width of the building". Customer says "what, just move it". Service guy...

Why is the leg holding necessary? Thats more dangerous than the reach.

I missed this in january. Very nice!

I hear you on the capacitance of the PP cables. These were fairly short runs but behind the brick where the LL didnt want holes drilled because he has no faith in tenants remaining any period of time, is structural steel in the most awkward configuration we have ever seen, and a finished...

As mentioned before, I think that means they want it on a dimensional backer. This is one of several we did with a simple .080" aluminum rectangle pan background, 2" deep. We used remote transformers and wired it with the zero-clearance Neon Power-Pro secondary leads because the owner didnt want...

Really nice work SM. I also find Azek a much, much better value, I think cause it isnt marketed as a "sign supply" product. We buy the smooth Azek in 1/2" and 3/4" 4x8 sheets from a roofing supplier for about a 35% savings over sign supply houses. I never bought the textured, thats a great...

Good choice. We have a belt/disk sander, a tube bender, and a tube roller from Baileigh... all excellent tools. They make very high quality stuff, definitely a giant leap above HF in my opinion. We also have an OLD 8' stomp shear. If you are tempted to set the shear under a material rack or...

At the shop next door a guy owns an AI Outlaw, a softail, Black base and orange pinlines (maybe your lines?). He told me it is a 2009 bike, and I assume that means it was made in '08... but didnt they go out of business earlier than that?

Yep, Thats bad stuff. Although it looks like somebody lost a good size hunk of fiberglass fender at the steel car auction. http://picasaweb.google.com/kingsfp/RussosteelAuction110?authkey=Gv1sRgCNGlh-XG2vSxrQE&feat=email#5430180521097968930

John Ruskin (1819-1900). His words of wisdom are as true today as they were then. "It is unwise to pay too much, but it is also unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you...

I have done many a drop on swing stages without a lot of trouble. But years ago I climbed over the parapet wall of a building in a bosun chair (wood seat attached to a rope) hanging from a permanently attached outrigger and that was the last time ever for that. Getting over the edge and the...

We are looking for a wholesale supplier of extruded plastic snap track used for mounting printed graphics to flat surfaces, walls, etc. Within the next couple months we will need 600 to 700 feet of this. We have a source for the anodized aluminum but not the plastic. I am going through Google...

Same here. Labor rate X #hours to remove from the building. And we add $75 per raceway for disposal within reason. We once hauled an entire 1900 linear foot shopping center, 40 some stores, worth of old surface mount CL's and thats when we discovered selling the old transformers to recyclers...

Get off 'da cobb bruh. Digg that in a few ticks, yo'

+1 right-on. Those kids are excellent.

That's actually what I meant. It's a fact, this particular customer is paying before we mobilize for anything else. I have also since made some small changes to our contract conditions to more clearly explain the "end-of-project" policy.

Just to follow up.. Interesting course of events recently. It was like something from the movie "The Firm". I called and cancelled all sign permits, state highway permits, and electrical permits Friday before last. Bonus, they've even since mailed me a refund for the county permits...
