We have the 17' A-frame Little Giant. Its heavy and scary (to me) to put up and take down, but its awesome. And we use it all the time, too.

I always tell customers that most often, changable signs cost about 3 times as much as a traditional sign. And for the extra cost, you also get a modge-podge looking sign (no matter how much time you spend making changeable info panels). Perhaps they would be better off getting 3x3 banners...

Sometimes I think its easier to give them resolution... 100 dpi would be 2400 by 2600. I would see if they could get you something bigger, particularly if you need to crop it. I would say something like "We prefer the smallest dimension have a min resolution of 3,000 by whatever it scales to...

I'm no expert, but I have gilded plenty of finial caps with patent leaf. I don't think I would even consider using loose leaf.

So I talked to her, explained that she needs to be more consistent, pay attention to what she is doing, etc. She didn't make any excuses, just agreed that she should pay more attention. I asked her to let me know if there was anything we could do to help her... She said no and understands what...

I would use ACM / Polymetal. Its quite sturdy.

"My eyesight is PERFECT :cool:" ... was the response when I asked if she wanted more light working in the back room that is quite dim. But you could be onto something with the dyslexia.

This is great advice. Thank you for sharing.

I'm really glad I started this discussion. To answer a few questions, she was hired as an administrative assistant and data entry was and is part of the job description. We realized pretty early on that she was a quick learner and creative, so we we started training her to do some design. And...

1. She doesn't work today 2. We've already spoken about it 3. I want a paper trail

This is exactly correct. I know everyone makes mistakes, myself included, but geeeez. We are actually redoing two small signs that had an error last week. Granted, I take no responsibility for typos on customer-approved layouts, but this was a mistake that didn't need to occur if she just slowed...

We have one employee who can be really excellent. On the other hand, she can rush things and make silly mistakes. We never pressure her to do anything quickly, on the contrary, we often tell her to slow down. Her job is 100% shop assistant. We gave her almost full time hours after seeing how...

ALSO we don't allow people to leave fliers, advertisements, etc. in our shop. ALL of our customers are businesses, and most of them compete with each other. I can't possibly allow one landscaper to leave his card on my desk, and not allow the other 50 landscaping clients to the same. It just...

A couple of questions... Do you own or rent the property? Are the signs actually placed on this property or on the public right-of-way? And are there any laws prohibiting their placement? They are actually all illegal by me, but people put them up anyway. Personally, I would take them down or...

My partner / husband hates learning new things. He's always like "oh, we don't need that!" "We did the job without it before, why change what works?!?" This drives me crazy. So a while back we had a job installing about 80 2'x3' signs into brick and concrete, and I decided we must purchase the...

I'm looking for a wholesale vendor of florescent/ hi-visibility clothing. None of my current apparel vendors carry this type of item...

http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/mexico-flag its free, you just need to sign up for an account... and we LOVE Brands of the World. It is our go-to resource for vector logos. edit: i just downloaded it, and its really kinda crappy. but give me a few minutes, i'll find you a good one :)

I've found I need to call to confirm orders, and call for quotes. Yes, they are slow sometimes. Most of the time they are faster than needed.

Canadians really are a pleasant bunch, aren't cha? :notworthy:
