  1. OR She is speed dialing her lawyer
  2. I love the photos for the statements you make. Perfect choices Everytime I go on an estimate, I listen to the Customer telling me that they want the " lifetime " LEDs When I explain the propaganda of LEDs , they look at me like I don't know what I'm talking about. Only the educated listen and understand. Same at the Sign Shows, all the same shit with different names and claims
  3. That didn't take long. You must have been like an elephant in their canoe. Its all about the money. Not the truth or end user.
  4. Magazines need money to publish and stay profitable. Corporations and Manufacturers pay the bills. Its all about the money. Not the truth or end users
  5. I love these calls, Lots of excitement and fun work. And the public loves the show also. Most customers want the sign completely redone and installed to match the old sign ..... Guaranteed work from the start to finish
  6. Sell him the LEDs. Remove and save his old neon. When the LEDs fail in 2-3 years, you can sell him back his neon Can't fix stupid.
  7. Exactly We do the same work and I do not care about the cheapest price. I want quality components I only want to go back to the customer for a new sign order, not service
  8. We do more then Signs. We recently were called to remove Ice that was falling from a 7 story building. the Ice was 4 - 5 inches thick and filled the window sills. As the weather warms up, the Ice falls to the ground. This is a problem here in NYC, a real head ache It's always another adventure here
  9. We just installed a new Bucket and Boom Unit on our oldest truck. We bought this truck brand new. The truck is a 2000 Isuzu, built with an Aichi Boom. The Aichi worked flawless until it died. Massive Heart Attack We bought a new boom bucket from VersaLift. We did the work in house. One day to remove the old and install the new. New Hydraulic Hoses made and the electrical wires. Simple Total cost was under $ 19,000. This truck is garage kept since new. No Rust or damages. Original Paint. This truck has made over 6 Million Dollars since 2000. Not bad for service only. This truck continues to go and go. We do not baby this truck. Keep your trucks inside, clean and maintained. They are priceless. Replacement truck.....$ 140,000.
  10. Discrimination ? Really ? I am a White Male, Born here in America, Speak English and went thru the Public School System. I got the same schooling as everyone else did, Blacks, Whites, Orange and Green, Male or Female College Aid.......Nothing for me, my parents worked. I have been discriminated against my entire adult life. In Civil Service, It was minority hiring....1 White male for every 3 minorities. ( Failures too ) Then it was the Women. They could not pass the Physical Test. Again they and all the Minorities got special free schooling to pass the test. I had to pay. ( All the White Boys ) Same with all promotional tests. In the Sign Business, and other businesses, I lose to all the Minority Contractors and Women Owned businesses. That's the law. Some Companies go as far as asking are you Women Owned, Minority Owned, Gay, Transgender, Bi-Sexual and ...... My fault is I get up everyday at 6 am and work 6 Days a week, for over 30 years. I am the Minority I agree with Sign Lady. I am entitled to what I earn, because I work for it.
  11. Day without a Woman.......Who's going to cook, clean and do the laundry ? And make the bed ?
  12. I can get the sign cheaper. And it is LED . That's the answer we get. We made and installed signs for a Large Storage Company for 8 years straight. All Neon They decided to go with another vendor who said LED was the way to go, the savings, the quality etc. 2 years later those signs had the common dimming and outages. They called me back and said......Why are your neon signs always lighting and no service calls ? I'm back making all the signs with neon, only at higher prices this time. I love the shit signs from others. Keep up the shitty work and cheap prices
  13. Bye Bye to Cheap Chinese LEDs and other shit products.
  14. Thats funny You and everyone else also. It gets more interesting and amazing by the minute here.
  15. We will be there Friday. I hope the show gets better.
  16. If you are not sure, keep it simple. Ask for a deposit, balance due on your terms. Just the same as any customer who orders a sign or work from you. OR Ask them for photos of their office, shop and trucks. Anything that shows they have something more then a desk and PC
  17. YES Happy Birthday ...I wish I was celebrating that year birthday
  18. They are beyond Damage Control at this point. What could they possible say to an audience of mostly white working males about others who do not want to work. SOT........I will not subscribe to your new BLM or 99% or what ever new bullshit you want to call it. SIGNS ..........that is all I want to see and read about.
  19. Its worth a fortune to the right person, or just scrap money to most. 50 Years old makes it an Antique or classic. I dont think there are many 50 year old sign trucks around. If you are going to do a full blown restoration on the entire truck and ladder. It will cost you around $ 40 - 45 Thousand. An investment only you would appreciate. If the truck was in the 40s and 50s , you would have a nice piece. There is no value on putting that Sponco ladder on anything else. The ladder trucks are way outdated. No one wants them. They are body breakers. You can buy used buckets and booms for less money.
  20. She is the same person who will stand in front of a low life thief with a gun and say...I understand . It's OK " You came from a broken family, an unequal education, poor neighborhood and unable to get a job with fair wages. I feel for you. I understand"..... Then when she gets robbed, shot or raped, she will look to the Police for help. There are Thousands of these " Believers" out there. Useless people taking up space. Serving no purpose. When a Law Enforcement Officer with a Badge and Gun tells you to do something, you do it. If you know you are innocent, do what they say and let the legal system work. If you know you're guilty, take that chance and see who wins. True Facts......Innocent people do not confront and fight Law Enforcement. The Guilty and persons with Criminal History are always involved in Police Shootings Police Officers wake up everyday and do their job and want to go home safe, just like us. Business Owners and law abiding citizens suffer from the results of protesters and riots Sign Magazines are for the sign business, Not someones incorrect views on what we should do or be. I hope this editorial ( Bull Shit ) will be addressed by Wade.
  21. Take the job and signs from Regency.  After they are delivered, demand full payment in cash or certified check only.  Do not accept credit cards, the can revoke them after.  If they owe you previous balances, use the new money to pay that.  Then stick it to them. Demand full payment again or tell them to pick up their signs. AND of course charge them for delivery, storage and loading.  It sounds bad, but they are the scum of the earth. And they have been doing this for over 30 years under different names

  22. How is it going up there?  Are you back in full operation ?  Any new trucks ?

      Hi Paul hope you are well, we've been keeping busy with the auger truck (single bucket) and mall/ladder jobs, haven't picked up a double bucket truck yet our dollar is terrible.  My shop isn't up yet, still fight with insurance to clean up the contaminated soil.

  23. Congratulations and best wishes. A Professional Sign Industry with talented craftsmen and professional people is the priority. Nothing Less.
  24. Every statement you made is 100% correct. Now we just need to live by them. This should be the 4 Commandments of the sign industry
  25. That's exactly what the jibs are great for. Elliot is basket mounted and the Versa Lift is boom mounted. You can get either electric or hydraulic winches
