Like Brad said, a sign bug was very common once. And now I see some large companies put it on everything. I sometimes put a small sticker on a sign, usually on the end of a cabinet or small in the bottom right corner, but not a lot. It does help if someone moves into a space and is wondering...

Eight Tips to Determine if Your Gift is Taxable

That's what I thought. I would think anyone who is UL listed is probably building everything in house anyhow.

I agree about asking the printer how they want to receive the file, most have some sort of upload capabilities and may requiring compressing the file.

I have a subscription to support the site, and I don't pay attention to the "Premium" area unless I am asking a question that I would prefer not to be "public" or it relates to pricing. I won't ask or give any info about costs in the public forums.

I think Mike means if the shop assembling it is UL listed anything they assemble would be covered. I agree with your question, if you buy a knockdown kit, can it still be UL certifies if the shop assembling it isn't?

For economy I would do coro fastened with six masonry fasteners & fender washers. I would work about frame getting wrecked from having basketballs/soccer balls bounced off them.

Hey, if they don't want to take food stamps that's their decision.

I agree, it's pretty ugly. Wonder if originally it was just a monument with the plaza name in cut out letters

If they match the building what Gino said. If changing the color is an option what Gino said and then a masonry stain. Might really make the sign look new and sharp to change the color, maybe a few different tones, one on the pillars, one on the caps and then the base.

That looks like theirs....https://fossilgraphics.com/ I've bought some and installed quite a few for museums/nature centers that bought them direct. They ain't cheap. We also did an economy version of our own using reverse applied graphics on matte lexan installed over exterior plywood with an...

Thanks, yea I saw those but I'm hoping to find something like this attached poster holder. I've already suggested this one to the client and told them I could paint the standoffs if they wanted. With the regular stand offs they have to take the whole thing apart to switch out a poster. By the...

Looking for 2'x3' Acrylic Poster Holders with Bronze Colored Stand offs, preferably 6 per unit. All I find are aluminum stand offs. I know I can get black stand offs and make them with two layers of acrylic, but I'd like to find pre-made ones that are designed for easy change out by the client.

If you want wood and will be leaving it unfinished or cleared then you could fake the thickness. Build a sub frame and skin with the widest cedar boards you can get, I'd use 5/4" thick if I could get it. You'll have seams, but that was common when making wood signs. The only issue would be the...
