I was wondering if anyone out there is a member of the Sign Association of Canada. I think they may be affiliated with the American version. Is it worth the money? We are a small company with 2 employees, and don't make a ton of money, due to our geographic location, small towns. We have...

The standard size is 10 by 20. We have one we do for McDonys thats 12 by 24 and they don't print that size at all in anywhere across Canada. Also a 12 ft board is a bit to high to use conventional billboard tools on, you end up needing wider catwalks. We have to use the standard 10 by 20 and...

Your price sounds reasonable, you always run into cheap truckers. I got one here the same kind of job but 2 layers and he thinks he can get it done for under $100 in the city. One layer the vinyl sells for $20 a ft even. But you know if you drop the price for him he will have 20 buddies all...

Sad to hear so many having a slow time. We were beyond swamped this year, stress-fully beyond, couldn't keep up. Seems all people want is hack signs lately, though. Either they want the world for nothing or they want a hack job, that a two year old could do. Sometimes it amazes me what...

Good to know about the material handling liability issues. Anyone got a dual with the bucket and material handling boom? They sure look cool. What about a Genie lift, anyone use them much? Gino what you have is sort of what we are looking, an older machine. Right now we pay $190 an hour for...

Thanks guys. We will have to look at everything a bit deeper.

We always see the older trucks in the us going for 10-15 k, and think gee 4-5 big jobs on our own would pay for one of those ex-utility trucks, instead of renting one as we need it. A new truck is out of the question $$$$$$, but a older not as fast truck could make enough to get a good truck...

This is in Canada. Haven't looked at insurance yet, you mean liability policies, or vehicle. We aren't worried about Workers Comp, a partner will run it. We can easily get $120 an hour. The nearest bucket truck is 2.5 hour drive. Hoping I can do better locally. There is another bucket in...

We have been debating for some time now whether to buy a bucket truck or not. We have an arrangement with an equipment company and use their truck at least twice a month. Do you all think if you had the truck the work would find you or do you need to have a more steady supply of work. We have...

You also need to consider what the product is selling for in your area, next city whatever. You want to maximise your profit you don't leave money on the table. Scoop up that extra even if you don't think you need to charge it. Always happens something goes wrong down the rode and that bit of...

Thanks Pat

Hi all. Does anyone know what font the highways in BC Canada use? I need to make a few numbers for the local guys.

I got a sheet of 1/4 in glass, awesome for using the Big Squeege on. A little hard on cutting blades, but we'll live with that. With a light under it, its perfect.

Anyone know the 2 fonts used in the pic. Thanking all who look!!

Thanks Gino. We have just had real good luck with the One Shot Lettering Enamel on a lot of different things.

Hey guys anyone know a Canadian supplier of CSA approved sign boxes. I have to give a quote on a new one this week and was hoping for some help finding a supplier. I could build one easy, but up here it costs a fortune to get a CSA approved tag. You got to build one and submit it, then they...

Anyone know if there is a big difference between the Bulletin colors and the lettering enamels. We usually use the lettering enamel for everything. We have painted sign backgrounds and posts with it for ever. Everything lasts a long tome using lettering enamels. We just got a job painting a...
