  1. Are you voting?

    Don't want to vote, fine. That's your call. But I just don't get your reasoning. So if "neither candidate will help our country" are you for no leadership at all? Voting is simply about leadership. (referring to voting for candidates, not issues)
  2. Are you voting?

    While you're at it, save a bullet for those lazy, fat *ss sons of b*tches that sit and block parking lot aisles idling/waiting for a space to open up, holding up all traffic trying to negotiate the parking lot. Sheesh! Heaven forbid you have to walk forty feet. Sorry, way off topic. My bad.
  3. Are you voting?

    Voted Friday, mail-in ballot. So did the wife. Good, bad or ugly, we have the right to vote (most of us) and we should not squander it. Vote your self-interest, vote the commonwealth, whatever. But vote.
  4. how big is your facitily

    Just a nick under 5,000 square feet. We are bulging at the seams. We have some stuff so high up on shelves we use a 12' step ladder to reach it. Need a bigger space. But the location is killer.
  5. Font ID?

    Excellent! That's it exactly. Thanks a ton.
  6. Font ID?

    Help with this one very much appreciated.
  7. Paint storage...

    Way back when, when we used to paint our sign backgrounds we would do a you do, clean the lip of the can real good, poke holes in the lip, etc. Still after the can gets down to about half way, there's enough air left in the can after closing it to dry to top layer. One thing you can try is...
  8. A what would you do scenario for you guys...

    Wow, that was quite the response. I don't know the original poster but I sense that he/she is like many. Seeking an answer for (what is basically) an ethics question. I've seen this many times on this board. Some are looking for an "out". Some want to find that one person who may give them...
  9. A what would you do scenario for you guys...

    That's what I would do. Gino, you seem to be giving out two very different pieces of advice. Telling him to "do it" and then saying "personally you wouldn't do it". Don't get that at all.
  10. Taping Vinyl Rolls Not In-Use (and other media)

    +1 Only way to fly. We've been doing that for years. Never leaves a gluey residue.
  11. Install company screwed me, What can i do?

    I agree with principles laid out by Gino (above) although he doesn't mince words does he? But the underlying point here is that this is business. And one company has the right to expect performance by the other company. ie: they want the work done as specified....and you want to be paid as...
  12. "Natural" looking sign substrate - but NOT wood

    Stacy, the attached file shows an idea that may work for you. The idea here is to print the text over a background that has a nice natural look to it. These were for my own golf Club. Since you state that the new signs are to go right over top of the existing signs, you'll have the...
  13. Women only!

    I think it holds special interest for my wife and her girlfriends because so many of the "scenes" are set in Portland and Seattle, which are well known to them. Names of hotels, bars and restaurants, that kind of thing. I hear that the Heathman Hotel in Portland is selling out one room in...
  14. Women only!

    Yeah, I'm still waiting for that tap on my shoulder. (sigh) Maybe tonite.
  15. Women only!

    Ok..... how many of you girls are reading "fifty shades of grey"? Fess up.
  16. engraving

    We have to Xenetech rotarys and one Xenetech laser. All do a great job, albeit different tasks for different machines. You need to be a bit more specific regarding what you intend to engrave. ie: Walnut stocks on a hunting rifle, cake servers, jewelry, plaques, plastic signs, etc.
  17. Local competitor with WAY LOW pricing

    Or....they'll wise up and charge more and avoid going out of business.
  18. Average Square foot pricing for vehicle wraps

    It's smart business because I know my costs and what I'd like for profit out of each and every job. In your example, (with competitors charging $2000 more on a wrap - assuming it's the very same job) one of two things is going on. 1) Their overhead is very high and that's the right price to...
  19. Average Square foot pricing for vehicle wraps

    I think most of the "wows" are from the viewpoint that there might be a "right" price for vehicle wraps. And by calling around you can determine that. Three out of four shops, blah, blah, blah. To my mind, that seems to leave out too many intangibles. Wraps, and we've done quite a few, (two...
