  1. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!! I need to send that link to the next Catholic School that I'm going up against Fairplay with on a bid!!!
  2. Finally found em. It's a division of Fairplay that they use in Florida to sell direct @ wholesale pricing.
  3. Any of you ever heard of a company called "Scoreboard Solutions"??? Trying to find out who they are. Any and all help would be appreciated Will
  4. When you are doing larger ones of these, make sure you pay attention to what you are taking down. We just did a takedown a few weeks back of a gas station sign. Took us all of about 2 hours, and we decided to seperate metals and take it to the scrapyard. $200 worth of scrap!!! Copper, Aluminum, and Nickel are all bringing BIG$$$ right now thanks to the Chinese!!
  5. Should be just about perfect for what you need. I see alot of guys that try and use those mini-jackhammer types for drilling into walls ect.
  6. Not really difficult to kill... They're usually pretty well done by the time we get back from the lake. They are however VERY much alive when we grab hold of them and pull them out of the water.
  7. I missed out today due to kiddo issues... Luckily, "Tha' Hat" decided to come over to my place for the butchering... 44, 18, and 9lbs respectively... I'm officially addicted....
  8. Went out again yesterday.... We all got pretty beat up messing with this guy for the better part of two hours. Right at 40 lbs... They say if you're not bleeding, then you're not hand fishing properly......
  9. Well, there's a fuel distributer close to us here that we've been courting to do some work for his stations recently. We did several different bids for one of his locations to replace his existing gas price sign with LED changers. Finally the owner decided that he didn't want to spend that kind of money, and would rather just take the existing sign down. I quoted him a price on Monday, and told him that we would get with it the next day. Well, our installer realized later that night that he was double booking himself, so instead of re-scheduling and risk irritating the client, we decided to just do it ourselves. The existing sign was an 8'x8' cabinet with two 3'x8' faces on each side. It was welded to a highrise pole about 12 feet up to the bottom of the sign with a 3' wide catwalk all the way arround. So, up I goes with a sawsall and a face full of scowl to cut this mofo down. I cut through the welds almost all the way, then bust out the faces, run a rope through, and pull it down with a truck. Then comes the catwalk. This thing is HEAVY... We cut the front part off and leave the back side with the ladder attached for last. I think, well I'll just cut one of the two remaining supports off, then we'll pop the other weld off with the truck. I'm up on a ladder with the saw, cut through the one weld, and the whole shittin' thing falls on me. Knocks me and the ladder over. I fall over a fence and on top of a dumpster. I'm alright, but I was real shaken up... Ended up getting $40.00 worth of scrap metal out of the job if that gives you any indication as to how much steel we dealt with. Gave the guy a helluva price on it too, so hopefuly this will help cement our relationship and get us some more business.
  10. You're newly single too?? I got the news two weekends ago. Apparently after six years she's decided she prefers the company of ladies now..
  11. There's truly not that much relaxing about it.... It's a helluva maylay when someone's in the water wrestling a catfish as big as a labrador into the boat... This is some ladies from TN that do this on a regular basis... http://www.catfishgrabblers.com/GGGMusicVideo300k.wmv Preparation consists of skinning, filleting, then either grilling or frying the fillets. On bigger fish like these, often times we'll hang them in a smoker for a few hours. If you think smoked salmon is tastey, you'll love smoked catfish!!!
  12. Well, I figured I hadn't blessed you guys with any pictures of my latest exploits in the wild I would abide... A BIG blue catfish that my buddy Alan here caught last Friday night on rod and reel Me holding a 16lb flathead catfish that another buddy of mine caught "Hoggin**" on Sunday. ** "Hoggin" means jumping in the water and catching it with your hands! You city folks get tired of the rat race, come on over to KY and we'll fix ya right up!

  14. If they financed that job, it's their own fault. We finance stuff all the time, but we do it through a third party finance company. That way when something like this happens, we don't have to be concerned with it. We would also get to charge for removal too! ;)
  15. Maybe tacky.... BUT Wouldn't you have liked to sold that job? Tell me you wouldn't have....
