Thank You all very much! I'm very appreciative!

-Size - 39"h x 31"w x 1.5"d
-Horizontal laminate - Good question. I guess I've always pretty much designed and fabbed my blanks in that configuration. Also, being the cheap ol' codger that I am, the blank was 32" wide and I was able to get 3 boards per 8 footer which allowed less waste.
-Installation - The plan is to mount it on the vertical of the south facing gable of my garage. I am one lot away from a busy north/south artery with pretty good visibility, so it should get some notice.
On a side note: I had my own 1 man sign shop from 3-86 to 12-01. The "911" disaster put me in a bad way economically so took the opportunity to go to work for a large sign shop and worked there til 7-11. I am now retired and work out of my garage in order to stay active in sign crafting which I thoroughly enjoy. I am really excited about being a part of the "101" community and being able to stay in touch with all the creativity that goes on here.
Thanks again all, for the warm welcome!
