Extreme Makeover - The Entries

[geb]

I was watching a certain #(thinkin that was my design) and noticed a " few" votes. I then looked closer and noticed it wasn't mine, then looked at mine and I had 1 vote more than the design I was watching. Aint it a wonderful life, George Bailey.

Design #6 is awesome, but highly doubt that anyone capable of designing that IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would do it for less than $1500. That is why it did not get my vote. Just isn't realistic to me at all. The designs look great though! Good job to those who posted, if I had more time I would have done one as well.

I'm curious, Are you going to say who made what design at the end of your contest?

 

[Flame]

I'd love if at the end of the contest, you put everyone's name next to their design. See who did what.

Yeah, I agree what everyone's saying about the price. If anyone can make that #6 sign for under 1K.... they've lost their MINDS.

But hey, it looks pretty cool. Not what I voted for though...

Previously asked and answered. After the voting is completed, the designer's names will be added to each posted entry.

My hats off to a couple of exceptional designs!

I think you can pull off #6 for under a grand. Some digital prints mounted to 1/2" leftover mdo that was cut to shape. 4x4 posts, The brackets and finials could have been objects from Jim's shop ( this is an imaginary contest, right?), plus some paint ,concrete, and mounting hardware. -just about $300 in supplies,leaving $695 for design, production and installation
1 hour design- ( the design is OK, just looks like clip art and gradients to me)
2 hours production
2 hours installation.
I would charge more than $995, but I could do it for that price and still make some money.
Alot of the other designs are great and I think they would more cost effective and profitable.

Maybe this is a $600 sign, if he had a scrap half sheet of MDO and a couple bags of concrete left over from another job too.

No offense Blade, but your total time is 5 hours.....if you get the "quick dry" concrete, maybe you can cut that down to 4???

One word.........unrealistic

I can't see designing that #6 in one hour, as Blade suggests.
An evening maybe , if I had the talent...
At the end, perhaps #6 will explain.
Let's get over this.
Cheers!

I agree! Acknowledge and move on. I'm over it.

Amen

I think my mother must have voted for mine. I was holding out for the least number of votes and was getting there. I like to set goals I can reach.

LOL...now I'm going to have to look at all the designs that have 1 vote.

Ever have one of those moments when immediately after clicking the "submit" button you start searching for the UNSEND button? I thought about asking Fred if he would NOT put my name by mine. Maybe I should say, "just kidding'' beside it or justify my entry as working with Jim's ACTUAL budget.

I think everyone is afraid to vote...almost 2,000 views and only just over 100 votes. WOW

Yes but 2000 views translates, at 5 to 10 views per interested member, to 200 to 400 registered members that have even clicked into the thread.
