Thanks for the replies. As it turns out, I talked to someone at the county office and he informed me that I am required to have a licensed engineer design and stamp the support, so... It seems like nuclear overkill to me for such a small and inconsequential sign but as they say: "You can't...

I'm quoting on a sign that will be pole-mounted. Overall square footage is roughly 15 sq. ft. and highest point above grade is roughly 6 feet. I'm figuring a 4" pipe will be fine but how much concrete will I need to properly anchor? Soil has high clay content and I will go down approx. 42" to...

Sixty views and no replies....Tough room.

BOOM. Gino scores!

You did good work, Gino. I'm impressed with your speed. Why did you get away from it? I still hand letter whenever I can.

Does anyone have a supplier of wholesale goose-neck light fixtures you can recommend? Thanks.

Thanks for your input, MM. This is probably the route I'll choose. Basically the one I'm on now.

You're brushing up against my point exactly, Bill. I don't want to turn down the opportunity flat, but I'm reluctant to spend hours on a wild goose chase.

Keep up the good work, JT. Sometimes getting in front of the decision-maker just isn't possible. Many are out of town or insist on hiding behind a manager.

Thanks. This was helpful. Thanks for your input. Just to be clear, I don't charge for simply laying out copy. But I do charge if a customer wants a sign that will require some workmanship and will likely boost their brand in the eyes of their customers. You can check out my portfolio to get...

Thanks. Your response was helpful.

I'm in the process of revisiting a number of my shop policies and was thinking about estimates and quotes. The time required for these can be intensive and can eat deeply into the bottom line. What is your policy regarding this necessary though (oftentimes) time-intensive service? Do you...

Thanks everyone. Looks like I'll have to bring the salt and pepper with me when I talk to him, 'cause I'm eating them. Hopefully he'll need much more signage in the future as his business grows.

Four square feet but who's counting?

New customer orders a set of magnetic signs for his work truck. He's a neighbor so I drop them off on my way home. We go to see how they'll look on his ride and it turns out his truck is 2017 Ford F350. You know, the one's that are all ALUMINUM. Obviously, the mags won't stick. He wants to...

Seriously, I have come to the conclusion that old folks are cranky because we're tired of some a-hole pissing on our shoes and insisting it's only raining.

Bitter?! Who the f*ck's bitter?! And STAY OFF MY LAWN!

"Accidentally..", heh.
