  1. Chapter 3...

    Thank you all for the condolences. I'll still be checking in. Who else is going to tell the newbs to put Lexel on everything?
  2. Chapter 3...

    It won't take a couple of years...I'm already grateful for the change. I've loathed the heat and Dallas traffic for the entire 23 years I've been here and both are getting worse. Some close friends are about the only things I'll miss. Closing down a very successful business was definitely...

  4. Chapter 3...

    Appreciate it, thank you. Yeah, it's definitely not an easy decision. You know it.
  5. Chapter 3...

    Pretty close. Man I have so much stuff that I just don't need anymore. Silicone, VHB tape, ladders, squeegees, measuring pole, concrete anchors, wall anchors, carts....
  6. Chapter 3...

    I have a ton of sign-related stuff to part with. If anyone in the Dallas area needs anything, hit me up.
  7. Chapter 3...

    ....with Chapter 1 being my 10 year employment at Chandler Signs and Chapter 2 being the 12 years as Owner-Operator of Precision Sign Services. Chapter 3 consists of seeking a remote or hybrid (remote with travel) position in the industry. LinkedIn post HERE if interested in the longer version...
  8. Don't understand.............................................................................. ? ?

    Same issue. I have the site bookmarked to show the What's New posts but it's only showing a few after ignoring spammers. Maybe because they took so much real estate.... ‍
  9. Niagara Falls

    Letchworth > Niagara My two cents.
  10. Preference when plotting designs on frosted/dusted vinyl.

    Oracal/Orafol 8510 is the easiest to install in my opinion. If it's difficult to see the vinyl (ie: 3M) through the premask, I ask the sign company providing the vinyl to rub the outline/perimeter/edges with a construction crayon. Pencil lead can easily get on your fingers and find its way...
  11. Installing multi-piece display straight & aligned

    I've done a ton of these. If you're doing a lot of repetitive, equally spaced pieces, a jig is your friend. Determine ahead of time what the spacing will be and find something that dimension. If there's 1" or 2" between each one, find a 3' or 4' box level that has a 1" thickness or 2" height. A...
  12. Installer needed Hackettstown NJ

    Do they have something immediately pressing? I'm installing in Paramus in a couple of weeks.
  13. Vinyl install toolbox

    Yeah, They are, but they're built really well, can haul a lot of weight and they fold down flat which is a huge plus since I have limited space.
  14. Collapsible skid signs...

    Yeah, definitely getting into a bunch of extra time. I think it will hold up decently as is. I suppose I could have skipped mitering the end and left is square. That would have allowed me to use longer screws into the endgrain. These will be likely be up for some weeks, so I'll see how they...
  15. Vinyl install toolbox

    I use THIS for small jobs like door vinyl, etc. I use THIS for medium jobs that might require additional / more specialized tools. The above pouch clips to the outside rail. For larger jobs, I put the above rolling bag on my cart with the vinyl, ladder, sprayer, etc.
  16. Collapsible skid signs...

    Thanks!
  17. Collapsible skid signs...

    Don't shut up. I appreciate the input lol. I had to come up with the idea and build these quickly, so this is what I came up with. Everything is rock solid other than the mitered portion of the hinge. I like your idea but not sure about where the two hinges mate. What's thin enough and strong...
  18. Collapsible skid signs...

    I have a customer that puts these up and takes them down fairly often. They may need three put up or taken down in a given day, which, in the past, has meant handling and transporting six of the upside down ⅄ shape pieces. Those essentially take up 8' x 8' worth of space. Transport can be tricky...
  19. Installer needed in Odenton, MD.

    Well, COULD have helped you.....Just flew in and out of Baltimore for an install and had time to kill. Could have knocked this out for you....
  20. Ok, which one of you did this....................................................

    Domino's and a TON of other pizza places get their cheese from Leprino's. It's real cheese.
