This one is a mess. I have it out baking in the sun today to dry it out. Once dry I plan to secure it to the Bot and machine off 1/4" at a time until I get back...
I have worked all weekend and still here today. Sometimes the one man shop has to say "uncle" and ask for help. I have two friends coming in tomorrow for 8 hrs to help me get caught up. By the end of...
Thanks Joe, you are the inspiration and reason I quoted this job as a refurbish. Otherwise I would have just quoted new. I took a bit of a leap of faith yes, but what the heck I was up for a...
Well....Bob to be honest I feel bad for high jacking Joe's thread and airing my dirty laundry. It was a weak moment on my part.....

One of our big customers for 3-4 years before B of A bought them out and of course they brought their own graphic team.

Joe,
Question for you. This subdivision was started in the mid 80's and the monuments and signs were done at the same time. This whole time I was thinking when they did these that they cut the...
We got the first sign back up yesterday just before dark. I took a pic of it this morning but the sun wasnt on it gleaming off the aluminum letters. I will get better pics this afternoon as we take...
