You forgot...

and at the same time, he unloads the safe and cash register of all the 10's and 20's and sifts through the old sofa for loose change counting it miserly, occasionally peeking through the curtains muttering "I sure do like me them chicken wings...I wonder when I'll be able afford me a building sign"

We wanted to get in quickly.

It didn't need much other than a coat of paint and some sprucing up here and there. To save 'Cheap Jim' some money, we used the same material and posts over and did this out on the site with some cans of Krylon and stickers made on our sticker cutter. We copied a picture off the internet, since no one was looking, but we still charged him a little for our efforts.

Really, nothing much more was needed for 'Cheap Jim's' sign other then the deposit [which we waived] and will be reimbursed after the sign is dry. We used shelf liner to save some vinyl costs. We just put them on some old liner and cut away and used some 'Groundhog' wizz and it stuck REAL good. This sign should last at least another year or two as long as it's protected from the sun, rain, snow, wind, fog, vandals, flinging debris, birds, other jealous sign people and low flying crop dusters.

No animals [other than Mutt & Jeff pictured below], atmosphere, waterways [where we threw our discarded spray cans], soil, children or passing motorists were harmed in the retro-fitting of Jim's Emporium sign.

No permits were needed since we did this all at night. You can tell there wasn't any light when we did this sucker.


Vote for number one...:thankyou:

:thumb: Another well made sign for the old :unclesam:

Does that budget include permits, PA 6% sales tax, beer, digging in clay, dust masks, 10' poles, more beer, inspectors fees, a new headlight for night driving [only have one], baby sitter fee, still more beer, membership at the local 'Fire Company' for after the install, oh yeah.... beer at the Fire Hall and any other incidentals that might creep up that you or I didn't mention ?? :rolleyes:


:help: Wow, we need a bigger beer fund for this job.... $865. won't cut it. That only leaves $130 for the whole sign, installation and all those other things I mentioned.... hafta find cheaper stuff. Maybe we could talk 'Cheap Jim' into a single sided sign and prop it up against one of the posts.... save paint, vinyl and some installation time. Yeah, now $130 might do it....:cool:
