  1. All it's missing is the circus music...

    Big Trump fan here. I was disappointed. I really thought Trump could have done a better job making points on his accomplishments. One of them being the lowest unemployment rate ever for black Americans. Foolish not to have brought that up. Did this really make or break ANYONE'S decision on who...
  2. Smile, if you're old enough to remember...

    I love it! The Viewmaster is a great toy. And it's awesome that they are enjoying it, and peeing off the porch, good job to grandpa and mom!
  3. First time acrylic letter install

    That is excellent information Unclebun! I like the combination option best. The location is only 4 blocks away so removing tape isn't really an issue. I will allow for unpacking and checking the pattern also, good point!
  4. First time acrylic letter install

    I gave the city a "general" quote some time back for some acrylic letters with the understanding they wanted to install. They want to go ahead so I need a more specific quote and now I'm installing - first time. 19 letters, one line - location pic attached. They needed to match some other...
  5. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    Gino, do NOT say that. Robert...if someone said that to me the first thing I would think is "drama queen" and I would never go back. LESS IS MORE.
  6. Question Here on Signs101 are there any sign makers that still use brushes and paints?

    It would be fun to learn but I've only been asked a couple times if I hand letter. Not sure it is worth the time to learn. I would think it would be easier to hand letter things like swooshes on motorcycles etc. rather than using cut vinyl or pinstripe?
  7. Trying to get into the biz

    "Getting stuff done" - that's the reason I got into this business also. We had a hard time finding anyone to put the graphics on my husbands race car so I decided to do it myself and bought a cutter. It's a great way to get into the business but after a while, you find doing race cars isn't as...
  8. Cut Vinyl vs Printed Vinyl...

    I do plenty of small orders on coro with cut vinyl. Over 10 is printed. Sometimes if I'm not that busy, I don't mind doing 25 one sided, one color signs with just a few words out of cut vinyl. I sub my printing out so if I have the time, it's cheaper for me to do cut vinyl.

    Definitely the kind of job that's easier to do at the shop.
  10. Free color conversion tool from FireSprint.com

    Thank you! This is great! I'm lost with the other posts. My favorite color is pantone 219c
  11. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    I agree Notarealsignguy, I hate doing things in the field also. They don't need to know I messed up or it only took me 5 minutes, or I eye-balled it because it looks better than being "level" or "straight". And if you mess up...it's another trip back to the shop UGH. That's the pits.
  12. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    I would just talk to him about it. In my experience, people don't understand we keep a schedule. I've had a few people say, "Monday should work". Once I explain to them that I need an answer one way or another by Friday because I have several other jobs I can letter Monday if you can't make it...
  13. Just an observation...

    I totally agree! The chainsaw is what brought my boyfriend and I together. He helped me after a big storm with some large fallen branches. I was in LOVE. The next week he built a bar in his family room and invited me over for a beer and some 80's music. It's been happily ever after since...
  14. Just an observation...

    I haven't been treated differently by male customers that I can think of. In my area there are 2 sign shops and 2 shirt shops. All 4 owned by women LOL As a woman landlord, I have definitely had more issues with male tenants respecting me than female. Of course, one was a transgender so I'm not...
  15. Just an observation...

    Nope, not much that I can think of!
  16. Just an observation...

    LMAO! I think you know me too well already!
  17. Just an observation...

    Busted!
  18. Just an observation...

    I haven't noticed that on Signs101. Maybe because I'm a woman? For the record, I don't want to always be treated the same as a man. I like having the door opened for me and taken out to dinner. This weekend my boyfriend and our boys cut 2 cedar trees down and about 6 other smaller trees at my...

    It literally disappeared as I was typing a response! LMAO
  20. Has the "Customization-of-Everything" produced a fussier client?

    I totally agree with you. The standard names/numbers are in my computer program and I'm just changing them, it's a quick and easy job. When I say "do-dads", I have about 25 different sports emblems, school names, etc that are screen transfers cut apart and separated so it's super easy to add...
