    I had so many boards to handpaint that my girlfriend helped me out by drawing out, and second coating. We were doing them until about 4.30am!!

    Looks like a lot of work. Worth the money I am sure though.

    It looks like your girlfriend is being paid with HobNobs, not a bad trade in my opinion. Can’t get those out here… anyone wanna trade some stickers for some cookies? 😀

    Hi aj,

    You must have painters cramp after all those signs, looking good though! Are you installing them as well?

    Hi Darryl,

    It’s a cinnamon flavoured chewing gum made by Wrigleys sold in the USA, but not available over here 🙁

    I love cinnamon flavoured stuff!!

    The hotel needed changable boards with inserts, so we found some hammer in threads that were perfect for the job! A tip……..dont give out unrealistic dates that you will finish by!! otherwise you’ll be buying up all available hobnobs in your area! and writing through the night! 😮
