$8.50 an hour for table help, minor customer service $8.00 an hour for post hole digger....meaning somebody who is just helping the guy who knows what he's doing. $3.50 an hour as a business owner.

That's great....I just got in 250 of them to try because they were on sale cheap. :banghead:

You have to wonder about people who don't complain about the price when you quote it, don't complain about it when you do the work, and don't complain until you call about their bill being late.

He spent 20,000 hours over 12 years dedicated to his HOBBY?! The only thing I've spent 12,000 hours doing is sleeping.

My parents keep a couple of donkeys with their cows to keep the coyotes away from the calves. A donkey will destroy a coyote.

Huh? College football is still 97 days away. You know why soccer fans riot? BOREDOM.

I don't know, I appreciate somebody who throws our bullshit right back at us.

Are you the same guy who was looking for street sign templates that you already had? I've used J-Trim from Lowes. Comes in 4' lengths. Home Depot has more finishes but they only carry 18"...

No, to get the silicone off they'll have to replace the drywall. :ROFLMAO:

No conspiracy thoughts, don't get me wrong, I was just curious if you'd sent out mailers offering freelance work or something. And while I do find the whole "working on spec because it's another sign shop and might lead to work" concept hilarious, even though I've done it too. It's just like...

Stud mount all day. Silicone will be a disaster if they ever try to remove the letters and paint the wall. Stud mount you can tape up your pattern, drill all your holes at one time, little shot of caulk in each hole (not really needed but if it makes you feel better...) then pop the letters...

...and that's where this whole conversation should have stopped.

How exactly did a sign shop in Virginia end up trying to get a guy in Maine to do their design work?

Aren't MOST wraps pointless, Dave?

It's gonna be useless. You're stuck with a bad logo design to work with and you've made it so small it's going to be pointless. How big is the business name....3"? Smaller? The stripe you're showing running over the roof doesn't match what runs down the back window. Why? You're going to...

I've tried the discount idea before and had the same response G-Artist had....everyone took the discount regardless of when they paid. All the discount did was made an accounting problem for me to deal with for less money....a lose/lose situation. Y'all don't get me wrong, the vast majority of...

Man, I'm sitting on $18,400 worth of 60 day past due invoices and haven't gotten a payment on a late invoice in almost three weeks. Sorry, I'm not sitting around hoping there getting paid one day....I think three months was MORE than patient.

I've got a large national company I do two jobs a year for.....20 3'x10' banners each time. There last invoice, due March 1, is still outstanding. Last week I started calling their accounting department leaving messages. Today I called from the fax line, turned on the speaker phone, and just...

It's just another example of politicians spending money because it has no cost to them. It didn't cost anyone on that city council a dime to blow that million bucks. 150 years ago they'd have been lynched, today they just get re-elected.

I make signs for an aquarium guy who has a route he runs cleaning aquariums on a two week rotation. It's all he does for a living. He may not be getting rich but he seems to be doing okay cleaning aquariums in doctor's and lawyers offices all over town. Maintaining a salt water aquarium is a...
