A Christmas Gift

Post by Bob Sauls »

While installing a sign today I was delighted to see that a previous customer had decorated one of our signs for the holidays.

Bob, They did a nice job on it, too!

We had a customer staple twinkle lights to the letters on a sandblasted sign one time. I guess they never considered it would put holes in the face of the letters to let water inside and affect the life of the sign.

cheers,

Nice sign too, Bob. I especially like your treatment of the dimensional element at the top.
