  1. I hear you on the FL insurance.  I just moved here from Michigan and for 1017 Sq Ft we pay MORE than the 2500 SQ ft we had in Michigan...  Then again I wasnt expecting any hurricanes from the Great Lakes. 

    As far as permits, it seems the city of Tampa loves to charge a fee for every tiny thing you do.  As was told to me by the city inspectors that stopped by because we had just moved in. 


  2. Dave, I would have loved to unpack my cutter first.  Right now I would be happy to have a place to permanently set it up..  In Michigan I had a seperate room for all of my stuff.  But now I have a wife.  When I put down some rules and plan to do something it goes through a 3 stage process. 

    1. It gets totally rejected.

    2. I come up with a compromise, which is then rejected.

    3. I put all of my things in one of two places;  The shed, or the trash.

    So far thats how it has gone!!  Although I have snuck my cutter in and have it set up for now!


  3. Well, I have finally finished my move from Michigan down to Tampa, Florida.  During the move, my cutter was in storage inside of a pod.  Today I finally got to open it up.  After just buying my house and installing my mailbox yesterday, I figured I only had one project I could start with!

  4. I have also used regular vinyl.  I also used speedball...  I will say that after a year and at least a dozen washes it is holding up.  I also "cured" it with my heatpress.  I do like your stretching system!  My system was far less efficient and created waves in the screen surface which luckily did not hurt my print, but I will definately either buy or use a similar method to yours for screens next time.


  5. I applied a full rear-window decal just before winter.  The blazer I applied it to has used the wiper often due to the salt from the roads here in MI.  So far it looks just as new as when applied.  The wiper is old as well.

    I used 651.  6-Months and still going strong.


  6. I use signsplusbanners.com    They have good prices as far as I have seen, and I have never had a problem with them.  They have signs with round (costs more...) and square corners, and also many sizes to choose from. 

    EDIT:  Just sold one yesterday for $20.  Thought I would toss that in  :)
