As far as busy...Ohh yeah . Thanks to all the covid rules here in Ontario   a year or so ago I was asked to put my installer hat back on "until we caught up" because some on the install team did not get vaxed. For some they just did not want to be anywhere near "the public" even though they were  vaxed themselves.  Just got back in the shop again but in production  for now....we service our cross Canada dealer network for print and cut projects... no time to poke around on TD like I could before.

Just good timing I guess to become a mod. I generally poke around here for 15 mins before leaving at 6 am to head to the shop and sometimes before bed. Let Ric know about some scammer posts here and there. I think Ric asked me if I was interested because it gets rid of scammers faster due to time zones. 

  I often see your shops posts on LinkedIn . Its good to cover all the different aspects of film work Auto and Architectural!!

Our shop is 99% Architectural with just a few Media companies that need trailer wraps. We don't really touch vehicle tint or wraps much .... although we did wrap a brand new  Evoque once for the Transporter tv series ...but it was literally blown up a few days later after the "product placement" and key scenes . I guess there won't be a call for warranty work.....

Sorry for the novel.....

Have fun out there!!

Hey Darryl, Sorry for the late response. When covid hit i was at home for 8 weeks and then slowly came back full time, I am the oldest person at the shop... Lol. We were and have been busy with Safety Film with most having the attachment "IPA" "IPP"as well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   As far as other work, graphics has picked up more and more since the pandemic had started. However with a lot of people working from home still it has not been the same.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     BTW, my profile pic is me. however it was taking with a filter that adds 25 years Lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Mike.

All good Mike.

Our shop found that a lot of the people now working from home caused them to realize their need for solar film  because back when they were at the office all day they had no idea how much an effect the sun was back at home. Big problem was "cooperating " with local covid laws made it interesting getting work scheduled.

As soon as the opportunities came to get access ....ALL of them wanted installs "today". We had to go with first come first called to book the install and in the message was a note that first returned call would be booked . Scheduling was loosing hair lol.

On a side note ...with our Feather Friendly installs being seasonal and exterior we kept almost all of the install crew that stayed on board  busy and this got us in a great spot with those clients.

Yes that's me in my pic as well .... the chest hair and tats are part of the "ugly Christmas sweater" the rest of the ugly is me.  May be time to update to something more summery.......where is my thong.....
