Really? This is the post you decide to get technical about? I've seen the supposed standards violated so many time it's ridiculous. You obviously have discretion in your decisions, use it wisely.

I know the feeling well, it's a hard time but good to be able to be there. I also had to put my priorities straight, family first.

New door with full cover print. Or if authenticity is a must then try overhead door companies like suggested, or scrapyards. But then you will probably have to do a hand painted graphic

I'll send a quote request but judging by their list prices it will be more than the retail prices I'm already seeing.

Nelson-Harkins was sold and isn't quoting anything during the 60+ day transition!

I have a regular client who wants a nice radius corner interior locking letter board, 2'x3'. I can't find a wholesale supplier, everyone seems to be about the same retail pricing. Anyone have a source? Thanks

back from the dead....

That trick for figuring out the depth of the pole is pretty neat. But that still doesn't tell you the size of the concrete footing. I guess if the pole is deep enough, and heavy enough, you can go with that . Around here it's the combination of concrete footing & pole that holds a sign up...

Got a shovel?

It's an old topic that's been beat to death and you'll get a multitude of conflicting opinions. The place to start is with the original job contract, spell out your policy, whatever you want it to be. Then you have to decide on a case by case basis how you want to handle it..

Wow Bruce I'm really sad to hear about your wife's health issues getting worse. You've built a great business doing quality work, sorry to see you go but I completely understand. If I can help let me know.

"started out with hand to eye layouts and execution, but went to the Sprint, which was before composer and then to ANAgraph and got Composer back in the late 80s" this was just about my path too. I now use Composer and Corel. Composer was deigned to make signs, so a lot of the tools imitate how...

Yes, just have the whole thing printed and laminated and apply to an appropriate substrate panel.

Sorry, that wasn't clear, not bolts thru the post, just the signs. We drill 4 holes on the pair of signs just wider that the square post. Then pinch the signs to the post with the bolts.

Are they round or square poles? On round the Signfix or similar will work. On square poles with two signs back to back thru bolts right up against the pole will work.

Around here they just call them sign hangers, come for 1/2" and 3/4".

You've tried the stock photo sites? I use 123RF, but there are many others.

Yes, stand offs is nice, but mounting tape combined with adhesive would work.

Agree with Gino. We install small signs, like 18"x24" on parking lot light poles, and they sometimes twist a little in a good storm. I'd suggest light pole banners instead.

Wasn't mentioned originally. One year is easy. After hearing the whole story I'd still do it the same as my original suggestion. Probably hold up for 3 or more years.
