You know you're in the sign business when you use a ladder

Recommended Posts

A sure indication of taking it to the "next level" (pun intended) ----- using a ladder to install vinyl lettering.

Although I've done higher-up work previously (on lighted sign faces above storefronts and onto awnings) today I was doing lettering onto a dump truck.

{{{ I provided the client with a set of DOT #'s for no extra charge }}}

Impressive to have a dump truck in my portfolio!

One thing to remember when using a ladder to do sign work.... never step back to admire your work till after you climb down. :P

More ladder work --- (This is 28' on the wall --- 3-1/2 sheets of maxmetal end-to-end)

maxmetal is duroplastic high-pressure laminated with a metallic aluminum surface, also known as DiBond.

Nice work I like Dibond works nice and fairly rigid also you can use a router and vgroove bit to make almost seamless boxes to give a dimensional look to your signage.

This sign just went up a few days ago, I love it when the installation is at a height reachable with a 16-foot ladder.

I discovered that a regular drill is not the best thing for brick --- I need to get a hammerdrill for these types of jobs in the future.
