"Oh, you hate your job? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar. -- Drew Carey

I like Drew Carey, but I think he's wrong on this one. I've been doing an informal survey with sign guys for years, and have concluded that most sign people from design to install, from fabricator to serviceman, are either great liars or really do love or at least like their job. I think it has something to do with the fact that by the very nature of the industry, the finished product is going to get a lot of exposure. Although, I do like to meet at the bar. :whistling:

Anybody on this board hate their job?

:beer: My sentiments exactly. From tin smith to carpenter to electrician to iron worker (the list goes on) without changing your hat.

Plus, how many times have you heard a plumber say, "I installed that toilet."

I'm still searching for this old black and white Photo I saw at an art studio. It was taken around the 30's or so, it's a pic of an old truck with a crane and it's hanging up a roof sign. The two installers were in heavy shop clothing, one on each side of the sign and their reaching into the sky for ths sign as it comes down. Both are wearing those, what are they called drop top hats or something the ones you usually see in the old gagnster movies. Real cool pic just wish I had the money at the time to get it but it was when I first started.

Anyone know what photo I'm talking about?

      Overflow with Permit Drawings, Shop Drawings or Material Takeoff? We Might Be Able to Help

      By Night Owl · Posted

      One thing that can make a good sign project more complicated than expected is location. You may have the client, the drawings, and the project ready to go, but then you have to figure out who can fabricate the signs, who can install them, whether they can meet the schedule, and how everything will be coordinated from a different city or state.   This becomes even more challenging when you're dealing with multiple locations.   We have helped sign companies with the work that happens between getting the project and getting it completed, including:   Project Estimating Material takeoffs, quantity takeoffs, reviewing plans, and preparing pricing for commercial sign projects.   Design and Drawings Sign design, permit drawing packages, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and production-ready files.   Vendor and Installer Sourcing Finding suitable fabricators, installers, and other local vendors when a project is outside your normal market.   Project Coordination Keeping track of vendors, approvals, revisions, fabrication schedules, installation dates, and project deadlines.   Multi-Location Sign Programs Coordinating signage projects across multiple cities and locations while keeping the information and project requirements organized.   This can be useful for shops that want to take on work outside their usual territory without having to build a new vendor network from scratch every time. We also provide overflow support when an internal team is simply overloaded with bids, drawings, takeoffs, or project management work.   If you are working on a project where you need help with estimating, sign drawings, material takeoffs, vendor sourcing, installation coordination, or project management, feel free to reach out.   Sign Bridge Request a quote at office@signbridgeco.com Call or text: 619-953-1209 You can also visit www.signbridgeco.com to see the services we provide.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Cra-z · Posted

      Did you put your tongue on it to see if it still works? LOL    All jokes aside, yes LEDs can burn the place to the ground just not quite as risky as HIGH VOLTAGE NEON.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      We always see a lot of conversation about how "Safe" LEDs are because they are "Low Voltage".    That is not true.   A lot of times it can just take a little bit of moisture getting inside of a module casing.   So NO, LED Module are not SAFE or DUMMY PROOF just because they are low voltage.

      The Principal Sloan Monopoly just got Larger

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      I'm sure ISA will post "Congratulations" followed by re-posts and likes....as Users get ready to PAY MORE....the competition just became LESS!!!           Options and Choices at your local Sign Supplier just became fewer, and prices just went up.   Be sure to check out your International Sign Association Web Blast and Announcements which will contain "Congratulations Principal / Sloan on your newest / latest acquisition!!!"     We all know what this means to the market place....lesser competition....higher prices...lesser quality.   This is the reason for Brighton LEDs....It will always remain Top Tier Quality!
