Just had a guy do a "solar survey" and map out a system for our home. 2500 watt grid tie would be about $4500(after incentives) and supply about 60%. I'm thinking maybe next year and maybe do a 5-6Kw system to power everything. BIL's friend claims he can get us off grid for $7000. He is a...

THIS^^^^^ I know if we get to the point of needing help I won't hesitate to get a student from my alma mater. I keep in contact with my previous instructors and they make no bones about who can or cannot step with the program.

Both look good. When I do designs I always ask myself what will translate best to all other forms of media.

Laser it.

All I can tell you is we did a 16' with no gap years ago. You still have to stand right next to it to see the seam. We used 3mm DiBond random panels. We get below zero in the Winter and high 90's in the Summer.

Ha ha. That there is funny.

Illustrator is your friend. I'm in the first stages of "building" a grill for a '69 Chevelle drag car. There are also places that produce them. IIRC you can buy the grill/headlight deal starting at $250. Just can't remeber their website. They are a combination of digital print/airbrush...

Like I said in a previous post. That mega-dollar Hilti SDS will splatter just like a Harbor Freight SDS when air freighted off a ladder or scaffold. At least with HF's extended warranty you walk out with a new one. They don't care if you backed over it with your truck or set fire to it.

Why put up with headaches for 3 years? How much money was wasted over that span dealing with inferior materials? There are alternatives to everything. Time to change your process. Arlon makes a super nice no curl matte blockout banner that we print for banner stands.

Duly noted. Thanks for posting. Simple things are sometimes the most frustrating.

I saved that issue. Sometimes you have brain lock and need a Lamination 101 refresher.

Did the job make a nice profit? I've found I like to have lights, heat, and eat regular meals. The goal is to make money not be the font nazi's. Better yet since you find it so egregious just turn those jobs away.

Do you have the guards firmly seated? Or did you take them off and are bypassing the switches? Check the switch for the upper guard on the left side. It can be finicky either way. Otherwise time to get out the multi-meter and start checking where power is and isn't going.

As long as the table is rigid and you can shim so the rollers are level it should be fine.

Had a sign shop send me a file to do some printing because their printer wasn't big enough. They sent a PowerPoint. WTF! I told them what it would cost for me to extract then size everything since sizing in their words had to be exact. Phone went click... Sad part is they really do have a...

Ummm...because it's called helping the customer and you can always do the install.

We have QuickBooks for manufacturing. Besides the sign side of things I weld and do custom fabrication.

Put yourself in the owners shoes. What would you do? In today's world it comes down to a massive liability headache if they stay. What if it would escalate and one of them brings a weapon to "finish it"? If they stay and an innocent gets hurt next time there goes your entire lifetime of...

Either a bump stop or to keep a cover from rattling? Should be a glue track where it was attached.

I just buy a bundle of furring strips(1x2) and make what I need. 8 footers at Menards are around $0.80 ea.
