Bad Sign

The shop owner had a 5' X 11' 1/4" tempered glass rolling sign fabricated for about $900,
a few years back. Instead of anchoring it by the road, he insists on pulling it in and out every day.
(so no-one puts a brick through it)

From the beginning it was a bad idea. When the wind gets up, the thing acts like a giant sail
and it pulls up one, or both anchors, and goes sailing across the parking lot.

The first victim was a Ferrari Mondial, got a caved in quarter panel....crunch
The second victim was a Caddi rear-end......slam
and now.....The bosses Bruick show car.......crash
and the glass is shattered.



heres the sign before




and the sign after




...and the hooptie






some people just don't listen to common sense
this could have all been avoided
by anchoring it in concrete

Z did he finally fix it listen and anchor it, or just trash it

I got him an estimate to replace the glass ($350)
and now we push the stupid frame in and out every day
untill it gets fixed. ........but he won't anchor it down ever

he will need to get it fixed up for spring
to advertise for a new tint contractor

I am

want to move to Texas -Im about to get the new shop ready

I would be honored...I have some good friens in texas, thanks to TD.c

....but I have something in mind a little closer to home

cool good luck Im guessing its self employeed

If you or Td's knows someone send um my way -Im not into training except for the kid then he can have it
I should have retired when I sold the original shop

Its either tint or listening to soccer moms -I coach 3 teams
So I decided on tint

Yep I am self-employed now, I just pay out most of my revenue back to the company.
The new venture is all on me, and in a bigger market

I hope to retire in about 10 years and let the kids run the show

I will keep my friends here posted on the new shop, it will be very cool

again good luck
the boy is 10 =hoping all I got is 8-10 years of hell left too

might have to pay a sign permit if anchord to the ground.no excuse though.

Hope it's not by me
I have enough problems as it is

but really good luck with all u do

Z

much luck to you.

That is insane (the sign thing)

Good luck to ya on the new shop

I couldn't have made it without TD.c
I have learned so much here
