  3. Advice on mounting a 60" diameter HDU circular sign on a stucco wall?

    I agree, need to check out the wall... if you can use the anchors in the wall already use them, I would make a Z clip and mount it to the existing anchors (if you can) and then attached one to the back of the sign... hang and bam your done, if you ever need to change it out its a quick change.

  7. HD Camera to view printer at night?

    We went the easy way, I took a Microsoft HD webcam and attached it to the roof and have it connected to my pc at my desk, have remote login set on the pc. If I ever want to check out how the printer is doing, I open my remote desktop app on my phone and log into the pc and open the webcam...
