  1. Health Insurance

    I dumped BCBS I guess about 1 year ago and went with Christian Healthcare Ministries. BC got to where they kept going up in price, down in coverage and up on deductibles, it was a joke. BCBS is a damn racket and is sad to say they "own" they healthcare businesses. I have been please with CHM...
  2. Mounting ACM panels (dibond) to an uneven wall

    you could cut some 1/8" or 1/4" squares about 2"x2" and place 4 on each corner, that would possibly help the whole surface of sign miss the wall. Other than that use tape to hold sign while silicone dries...since you now know wall is uneven dont bother wasting vhb on it and always scuff back...
