Snoochie

Erik; You are way too tough to let this COVID keep you down. If you can monitor sign people, like those on this board, this virus ain't got nothing on you. Take care of yourself, Josey Wales......... Tell K Girl thanks for being on the front lines fighting for us all with the rest of those doing the same. I, like you, am at a standstill and don't anticipate not being in this state for a while. But our collective health is the most important thing in this time of crisis. We will get back to economics as normal because that is what we Americans do. We fight and Prevail. Also, take the time to extend kindness to someone else who needs it like we all do. As Tom Bon Jovi said; "If you can't do what you do, do what you can". Godspeed to all on the board Peace out

Eric; To be honest, I am not sure who or what contractors are "Essential" at this time other than those working for companies deemed "Essential". Since I work for food chains and oil companies and they are deemed "Essential", that apparently sets my status. I would guess if you work for oil, banking, food or stores such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart or the like, you would be considered "Essential". Bottom line, who knows but I know I still perform what small level of work is being given out and I have not been arrested for being on the street in my service truck. Hopefully this tragic Virus will be dealt with rapidly and we all can get back to normal. My main concern is for the people of our country and the world. I don't want to see any more devastation or death. This is a time for all of us to come together as one and as Senator Lindsey Graham said "Kick its Ass" referring to Covid-19. Stay safe & strong...........

Vickie; I am an electrician, having transitioned from the sign industry. In California, I believe I am deemed "essential". The problem is that Capital budgets as well as Reactionary budgets have seized shut everywhere making the work disappear. I work directly for major companies in the oil industry as well as many national food chains and I can tell you the work is stopped for the time being. I did not mention those in the venues listed but I can assure you they are household names. Now, some could go belly up sucking contractors as well as everyday folks with them. All we can do now is to contain and defeat this Pandemic and reopen our frozen economy. Hopefully the other nations of the world can do the same. With our great scientists, the resilient American people and most importantly, the mercy of the Good Lord above, we will get through this. Everybody on this site please stay safe and remain strong. God Bless all........................

Robert, Truesource appears to be NG&G Facility Services. The address is the same for both. You can find the feedback regarding NG&G on this board. Out....

No further worries...... apparently the ISA show has been postponed until August 2020 due to Covid-19 concerns. Everyone stay safe and be vigilant. Peace out

Hold on with this Erik stuff...... What about the Lovely K Girl? Doesn't she have a part in this?? After all, she is our fearless leaders' better half and keeps him in line. All kidding aside, keep on with stirring the Industry up Erik. You are doing a great job. But Erik, give K Girl some props. Peace out!!!

Vicki; Have to totally agree with Josey Wales on this. Do not sign that you were paid if you were not. The risk is indeed yours if you do. Incredible what a hard working contractor has to go through these days...…………. Best of Luck!

Bryan; Heed Paul's advice. Why is a painting company handling sign removal? Sears is toast so once the signs are down, you could be twisting in the wind as Paul suggests. Be careful........ Peace Out

Gary, You are correct my Friend. Always follow the money and pay heed to the story it surely tells...... Peace Out

Paul; Your statement " When I asked why would anyone want to work with your company knowing that you do not pay until you are paid ? I also asked how do we know if you are paid or not paid from your customer ? " You are exactly on point. How the hell do I know for sure when you have been paid? This comes after being so stupid that I would agree to be paid when paid in the first place. I just received a query from "FacilitySource" to become a contractor. They have just been consumed by CBRE (Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis), a large player in the real estate/ real estate management area. I received a solicitation sheet from them and I won't even insult the intelligence of those on this venue by posting it. The response section was very definite but the payment portion was somewhere out in the Cosmos. You could be paid only if they got paid and then pay you at some mysterious date in the future. They had a list of discounts that they wanted to take under circumstances that were totally unverifiable. You also had to sign away all rights as a contractor while shielding them from everything. Incredible............ But if I were to sign this nonsense, I would be getting exactly what I deserve. Just for the record, they intimated that they wanted me to provide service to Lowe's, along with some other familiar major accounts in my area. I politely refused the offer but thought to myself that if a person made me an offer like this to my face I would have dispensed justice with a broken car antenna right on the spot. Peace out!

Gary; I think you and the other posters are being way too harsh and just not showing appreciation of the Creativity of this repair and the one listed by my friend Angie. These are the times we currently find ourselves navigating........... Peace out

I was worried for awhile Josey Wales. Thought maybe Captain Red Legs Terrel finally got you. Best of Luck at your new site. Peace out..............

I have been getting solicitations to become a contractor for these folks. Does anyone have any experience with this company?? IE., Do they pay and is it timely................ Thanks

Making PB more beautiful, one Bad Ass sign at a time. As usual, great work Josey Wales....................... Peace out!
