Yea, I can't speak a lick of Spanish, but looks like this is the company. http://melrosepark-illinois.olx.com/payasos-en-chicago-donny-el-super-payaso-iid-2615

Sounds like the turn signal fluid is low. Is this for real? Sounds like the guy that Pat delt with...only I got a little more about what he was after. And it IS Pat's birthday. If it is real post...this is a forum for SIGN MAKERS. Saying that you own inflatables and that you are trying to...

Yep, that I will agree with.

All ya can do is hang in there, and educate them on how you have no clue how they can stay in business paying customers to do their work. I think we all deal with that. No advice...but I liked the analogy. I may have to use that when someone comes in wanting me to lose money on a job so I can...

Happy B-Day Pat! The Rev. sends you his regards.

I'd almost say it's Mosh, or at least some kind of distant relative if I didn't know any better.

Normally I would, but man, I just haven't been able to read this guy yet. I think he's just so busy that he doesn't have a lot of time to hang around and chat like most of my customers always want to do, which is fine, but that also hasn't given me time to see how "personal" he is with working...

Slim to none, but mainly none.

First off Pat, that is hilarious and wrong all at the same time. Second, I meant to put HEAT not head. I think I was excited to not lose my butt on the job and got typing too fast. Thanks for all the advice. I love having people around that have "been there done that" and seeing how people...

And it's generally not because they are expensive, it's generally because those kind of guys are equipped to fix anything that you throw at them the first time, and have the tools to do it. Hopefully your tech would be the same way, and they normally have a heck of a drive. I know my tech's...

Ok, I just talked to my supplier. I am just going to use .040 aluminum since it is what this sign is currently made from, instead of the AluPanel that I had planned on. They worked on the price with me, and I am making him a 6 year sign, instead of a 7 year sign, and I can still make a little...

I agree with that first one. I don't wanna live much past 80 with the rate all of my family is. A few of them are in good shape still at that age, but there's also a few that I'd hate to be dealing with what they are dealing with. I'm still a young pup at 27 though...I think I'm invincible.

I am going to do the math and see what I am really going to be out. I also am going to go measure it up again. For some reason, I got a 2' X 20' in my head. I don't know what caused that. I am almost wondering if I measured one sign, and not the other or something, and they are two different...

I did quote him 2' X 10' materials, NOT 4' X 10'. That's the only thing that gives me ground to stand on, but I did still use the wrong materials. I may just call him and tell him my quote was right, but my materials were wrong. If he wants to work something out, great, if not...so be it, I...

I worked on quoting a job for a guy like, 5 months ago. I had the quote, and then I'd try to get a hold of him, and it'd be a month before I could catch him when he had time to talk, or we got together. Well, last time we talked, he had all these trucks he was going to do, and he still wanted...

So true...

I am actually amazed you can find a trucking company willing to spend more than $50 on anything for their vehicle.

Give them the Tommy Boy line. "You can get a good look at your butcher by stickin' your head up there, but wouldn't ya rather take his word for it? Wait...it's gotta be your bull?" I had a guy in here the other day that we do business with a lot with the high school, he said they had some...

How is a Mutoh cartridge different than a Mimaki? And Jiarby...been there, done that. I had a huge stack of them forever, that I finally tossed...there was quite a bit of cash that I could have redeemed them for at Staples, especially when it was $3 each.

Our Staples let's us do 10 a month per account. They used to be $3, now it's only $2. So my wife has an account and I do too. Between the Mimaki, and all the office printers around, we normally have $40/mo coming back in staples rewards, so it's nice. I liked it more when it was $60/mo, but...
