  4. What do you pay for tax preparation?

    I've sought the occasional advice of a CPA for major transitions, or consideration of transitions... but my tax retuns are done by an "enrolled agent" for around $400 (personal and LLC both for that fee) My bookkeeper is $40.hour, and in around 8-10 hours a month, posts all payments, does...
  5. Al Checca

    best of luck Al... and of course, more then luck, with that strong will, kind spirit & contagious sense of humor... you will beat this thing... and if the heart needs some attention, maybe finding out before the transplant will have all been for a reason, rather then finding out after the...
  6. Nice Tools for Cutting Coroplast

    Great find! My shop may not be so little anymore, but I can certainly relate to "limited funds" and among the plethora of awesome tools around here, I still trim most jobs with the same archaic tools that have given me flat spots on a few digits over the years... so I'm taking a keen interest...
  7. Need help buying my first printer!

    because what happens doesn't happen to that person... that person will have long since lost his ass & the collective "we" will be stuck holding the devalued "bag" answering to all the misinformed schmucks that think a banner is only worth $2/sq. ft. I would far rather see the lowballers (&...

  10. Checking in from Eugene OR

    welcome from a former transplanted Oregonian! (ex tree-planter, tree climber, & trail clearing sawyer)
  11. Can I speak to the person in charge of your phone bill?

    resist... must resist... ummmmmm, dammit i can't.. so, you were a telemarketer? no wonder you have set a record around here of patience & persistence amidst near unanimous oppression :notworthy: (meaning... back in the day... when you were new here :toasting:)
  12. Hit me with your best shot!

    I was hoping you would :) I figure the repeating logo is aimed at creating a sort of texture, with a subtle branding effect.... but I agree it is too dark... and anyway my alternate idea seems to have met with some optimism, so I'll shut up, quit trying to "sell" it & get back out of the way...
  13. My Logo....

    +1 lowballer :smile:
  14. Hit me with your best shot!

    looks good... the photo is modified such that your white copy works well, but something about the purplish color bugs me... wondering if a redder version could work? The only think I really don't like so much is the repetitive logo ovals in the non photo areas... wondering if a nice texture...
  15. tapered Ballnose supplier in Canada

    Thanks Ian, I bought an old door at a garage sale, covered with 1/4' thick Koa, in 5-1/2" wide panels. They were glued & sparsely finish nailed on to a mahogany covered solid core door. The finish was a very nice natural polish. This pic was shot about an hour after routing it with no additional...
  16. Asked to do presentation about signs for advertising, need some advice!

    talk about branding too... people have different ideas about what a logo is, and why it should be maintained in a consistent manner & broadcast in different mediums... the continuity & integrity of a visual identity is paramount & many clients will never see that if they don't learn it from...
  17. Tale of Newbie Roland Woe

    well, it sucks losing $8 G's... but why lose years of your productive life too? you get what you pay for... usually.. although I'm sure some people got more for 8 G's then you did... I forked out 5 times that much back in 2005 & for $40 G's, I got a NEW Mimaki 60" printer, 60" cutter, and 60"...
  18. tapered Ballnose supplier in Canada

    Gary, I have several collets, incl 3/8" and 1/2" thanks for the links Ian and Dan... I'll check them out! I used my tapered ballnose last night while I slept... (400 inches per minute for the wood grain) The Hawaiian Island Chain is separate 1" HDU dropped into a 1/4" larger flat recess, for...
  19. Design for our new Truck

    not to mention the other side of the truck having "Colorado" in small letters instead of large, tipping downhill instead of up, & getting larger at the end of the name instead of the start... might look good, but asymmetrical copy can foul you up that way sometimes...
  20. Outdoor barricade Graphics for buildout face

    same thoughts here.. coro is not pretty, but construction fences usually aren't either, and their cost should realistically drop considerably, while your hourly take home could go up...
