The banners held on with magnets idea is a good one. Just make sure your getting paid cash and you don't fall for the "we'll trade you airtime scam". Remember, airtime costs them nothing they will always try to trade you their dead air rather than actually paying for something. I used to do...

I hope people would have enough sense to actually check what is behind their vehicle before getting into it with or without a rearview mirror. Even with a mirror you might not see that kid. A mirror shouldn't replace your eyeballs and some basic common sense.

If your running electrical equipment which I am pretty sure you are. You don't want to be using a water based suppression system. You need a foam based suppression system. I would definitely check with your Service company that is doing your quarterly inspections about the system you have in...

That seems high till you realize that an experienced well qualified adjuster will get you 25% or more, than you would have gotten by doing it yourself. Adjusters are professionals and will go through every single item you possibly owned that was damaged and account for it. Things you wouldn't...

Screw 30 years you could move your shop to Lee County right now and be toasty compared to where your at. Home prices are still nice compared to a few years ago. I just picked 3/2/2 with a den for 160k built in '05. Needs some work to make it the way I want it but, sure beats the hell out of a...

I have never understood the mindset in the sign industry of you have to have the same software your client has. I know when I was in the promotional products industry each supplier/manufacturer had a set standard to how they accepted artwork. Usually it was a version or 5 behind the current...

If the paint is chaulky the paint is failing. I wouldn't stick anything on it. Your just asking for trouble.

I am just the broker on this site so blast away if this is really out there. This is sample material you said, so why not print exactly what it is on the material as your testing it out? This is assuming your going to use this for actual testing and not selling it to an end user of course...

2014 will be the year I turn 35 and it's time to make some more life changes. Hopefully, for the better. I will be closing the chapter on Adtechia this year. Hopefully, I will have all the loose ends tied up by the 2nd quarter. Plan on moving away from doing anything in this industry. It's...

You and the company got scammed by the same two people. The guy you were talking to had to get multiple quote to make it appear he was doing his job. Knowing the whole time his buddy was actually going to do the work. He gave you the wrong information to ensure your quote would come in...

Not a lack of knowledge. Not everyone possesses the same tools. I based my opinion off using the lowest most common tool available MS Paint. I was simply making a point that, you yourself have even just justified. That it isn't that hard to give some reference points as to scale for a client...

I am not talking about going so far as architectural scale but, really it's not hard to give some reference points. This took me about 2 minutes using Paint of all things.

Train me and I will do the job. I will even go so far as to work for half that while you train me for the first year... I miss Northern California.

Ok, listen up. I admit to posting some dumb things on here from time to time. That statement however, is the stupidest reasoning I have ever heard. What size door? How tall? How wide? What is the width & height of the glass? How tall is the lettering 2" or 3" ?? Really, these are things that...

The sample isn't good enough as it gives no reference to scale. Whenever I make a sample like this I give reference to the dimensions of the graphic and where it is being mounted so they can understand what they are looking at. You should re-do this one for free you screwed up giving them...

He is saying they supplier is advertising on here to professionals as a legitimate wholesale supplier while actually just being a retail operation. If the pricing & service is good what does it really matter though at the end of the day?

You titled this win some lose some. Seems to me you lost nothing on this deal. Getting $88 for that. Hell, seems you won and the client won. Regardless of your personal feelings of whether or not it looks good. Client is happy, your happy you got paid very well over what most other shops would...

I have I know a few of them by reputation only. Was trying to find someone that might have known someone here locally personally or done business with them before. Since, S101 attracts some of the better professionals like yourself I figured this would be the place to look for a referral...

No, cause they will argue price with me till they are blue in the face and tell me the whole time I am taking advantage of them. With outsiders they listen the first time and don't argue. Thank you, sir!
