Rahm is Obama's boy. Trump dislikes Obama to say the least. Rahm is just being a dick, so Obama will still love him.

Oh Oh...Somebody's gonna be in trouble it sounds like. I'm telling mom!

I have to get engineering to redo my fence, at my shop. I F-ing lost it at the city last Friday. I may need to move my business and home.

I also refuse to sell a church a message center. I go as far as building sensible signs for them at 10% over my cost. I've had many disappointed and disgruntle church folks in the last 24 years. IMO, the last thing a church needs to spend money on is an expensive sign. That turns it into a business.

Croudsourcing funding for non profits, so they can get message centers. This IMO is F-ed up! Isn't a non profit organization supposed to use their money to help people? Not to buy expensive signs or fancy buildings...

Idiot! Although wearing a harness may have really jacked him up. But you always have to wear safety gear!

Painting properly is a big investment. Paint booth, spray gun, compressor. Then the untold gallons of paint (mix), additives, primer. But if you're going to offer your customers true custom signs. You need to invest. Oh, don't forget about someone who knows how to paint. Matthews does a school every now and then, It's worth it to send your painter/helpers to it.

Not sure if anyone makes this. I'm looking for 200'+ of LED strip which, changes color, is flexible, bright, and for outdoor use. I have a theme park that needs something eye catching from 800'.

I had the old lady look them up. We did a few jobs for them last year. Payed 70-90+ days. I guess that's why we don't work with them anymore. Wife's notes show we had to call them numerous times.

I believe they were RMS....Actually I'm sure they were. Check em out on the National review. You may remember them.

The position has been filled. A while ago. Thanks for looking!

" Lots of nice toys. They had a 175 ft Ruthmann, for a bargain price of $ 825,000...a good starter truck'
I hate when I forget to bring my 175 footer to the jobsite....

So how was the show? Worth the trip? Anything new out there on the horizon?

Way to go ISA & Wisconsin...A race to the bottom...

If you are a listed shop, UL or Met. All signs need to be listed. All your components need to be recognized. Not sure how MET does their field inspections. UL does un announced visits. Where they look at the signs you're currently building. As well as check out your paperwork on the previous signs you've made. You must document your parts/components on every sign you make. I don't release the UL labels until the sign is put into the system.
Also, you need to watch out for fake UL listed products. I have a friends shop who got burnt big time.
Saving a few bucks on cheap Chinese lighting components, and cutting corners. Is the quickest way, to not being in business for the long haul.
Not sure how FL. works. Here in Texas, especially in the DFW area. You can not install a non listed electrical sign. (except in a few cities).
-
A non UL listed component won't pass an UL inspection. So technically, it can not be put into a sign.
-
Brady, on the LED's you posted the pics of. Where is the UL listing? I don't see it on the "face" of the LED's. Is it by chance on the side?

Free drinks and grub from N Glantz...Pretty good party, but get there early.

One a whole lot smaller than that. When rain is wind driven. It goes into all sorts of openings. Not to mention wasps, dirt...As far as which company, I don't know. I use screened vents that are pre made. Buy them form sign supply shops.

When that big one hits I'm going to have to quit the SS for a while and will have a full time / lifetime job of sign repair and maintenance ahead of me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
You may need Scuba gear, instead of a crane...

Well, if ya got to die. That doesn't seem to be a bad way. 80 yrs old, in your sleep. Knowing you built a successful company, with many friends, family, and loved ones to carry on your memory.

I'm not aware of anyone in the Dallas/Ft Worth market area giving the warranty I do. Most are 90 day labor, 1 to 2 years parts.

See it all the time. A large Natl., who I haven't worked with, but 2 times in 8 yrs. Has started sending me a lot of bid requests.. ( Red flag in my book. They either pissed off everyone else, or have them strung out on $$) . One came over the other day to do a full survey of an existing free standing large restaurant. All elevations, sign types and sizes, Pole sign, lamp-ballast count...You know the deal.. Fill out our paperwork, send individual pics, all for $150.00! Told them double it, and I'm still breaking even. They said, lets split the difference @ $200.00. Told them no thanks.
