Need someone else's thinking on this. Doing a sign for a customer. Site survey was part of the deal. We received a deposit of 1/2 down for entire job. Met some snags along the way and the customer feels a little put out. He left some things out of the original quote request and I'm...

READING, Pa. - A person described by police as a "private citizen" took matters into his own hands Monday, shooting to death a pair of masked robbery suspects armed with guns. Emergency dispatchers reported receiving multiple 911 calls around 2 p.m. Monday from the area of North 9th and...

I know somewhere in this place... there is a glossary for just about every sign term there is. However, I can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction ?? :thankyou: Gino

Yesterday we went to a 'COW PATTY PARTY'. For those of you who never heard of it..... it's a party of food, drink and fun & games with the highlight being about 40 head of cows and betting on where they're gonna pooh to win money. ALL the proceeds go to the Cattleman's Association and this...

Some background. We just finished a partial wrap today. The customer was over earlier and said he just loved it. The colors were perfect and the copy and pictures turned out great. He later left and we finished post heating a few spots. Everything still looked good. I just took it out...

We have a job, which is ours without bidding it, as long as the customer can afford it. We're designing several directories and some of the large slatz are to be 12.5" x 62" down to 7.5" x 22". I based this off a quote from Slatz themselves in Allentown and either I misread the quote or the...

I was at a luncheon today and someone came up to me and asked how much for 30 signs, like you'd put in a lawn ?? After a few questions and non-helpful answers back, he finally said, well, you know...... the kind of frame 'Certa Pro' uses for their signs. They're 'L' shaped, but upside down...

How many purchase 1/4" [6mil] aluminum composite in solid core form vs. corrugated core form ?? Did you know there was a substantial difference ?? Other than price, which need not be discussed to keep it private, but how about the properties of the two materials, regardless of whose brand it...

Yesterday, our area of the state had on & off storms and thundershowers. However,, around 7pm it cot really dark and the skies opened up for about an hour. Then suddenly, as the rain continued, way off in the west the skies cleared letting the sun peek through and I got a coupla pictures of a...

I’ve received many remarkable nature photographs over the years but this photo of a nesting Falcon is perhaps the most remarkable Nature shot that I’ve ever seen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Nature is truly breath-taking! You bird watchers will really like this.....

Guy came in Monday for some sign work. He tells me he wants a set of magnetics and possibly some site signs. I asked him what the name was and what kind of business it is. Roofing... and only roofing. Hmmmmm................ we need roofing work done. Alright, the magnets will be $XX...

We did a store-front sign for a lady about 2 years ago and she was tickled pink with it. In fact, her neighbor liked it so much, she got a sign from us for her store after seeing the other one. Okay, so October it's two years ago we did this sign. I got a call from her on Friday that she's...

This is something which is not easy to write about, for someone going through this, but should be kept in the back of your mind at all times. A good friend and neighbor of mine just lost his wife to cancer about 3 weeks ago. She was only 57. We've talked to the guy about all kinds of things...

Guy calls and talks to someone here about needing banners... and in a hurry. Jeremy tells him all that's possible and what all we can do, if he acts quickly. So, the guy comes in and we talk. I'd like 4 banners 5' x 12' and one banner 5' x 20'. He shows me the copy, which is really of no...

Which Merchant Member or distributor carries the most generic ADA signs for: Unisex Men's Women's Rest room signs ?? We're doing other signs for a customer who is renting a building for about a year and just need bathroom signs in ADA. I really don't care of the color or type, just cheap...

Wanted to post this the other day and got distracted. Doing yard work and just plain puttering around the house Saturday and Sunday, I decided to sit on our swing and watch the humming birds fluttering about. Took this picture right after two humming birds took off...... and noticed something...

Alrightie then............................ Lady came into the shop yesterday and asked if we could make some signs for her. Gave her a price and she already gave a deposit on the spot. She has a bunch she needs and will be needing some more. The signs we are making are replacing some old...

I was just enlightened with a phone-call that Grimco has opened a distributorship down the road from us. What should I expect from them, as I haven't gotten a lot from them over the years, but I have spent a small fortune on certain items ?? I understand they took over another company...

I had forgotten that he had lived to be 100 and also didn't realize it has been 10 years since he died. Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his show... Touched a lot of lives during his life. Thought you might enjoy a bit of memory touching, so I sent it along to you. Enjoy and recall a neat...

I'm gonna start with a little background. Been making magnetic signs for a lo-o-o-o-ng time without any failures. Always use Magnum from the same distributor for a lo-o-o-o-o-ng time. Switched distributors maybe 5 or 6 years ago, but still getting the same stuff without a single problem. So...
