Another Tricky customer
I just spent most of the afternoon fitting three signs like this today:-
Each sign is 3ft in diameter, made from 10mm forrex, cut out with a jigsaw (using Robs suggestion to add an extra outline and white border in cases like this – and Grays suggestion to place the boards on top of polystyrene when cutting out the shapes – thanks guys 😀 ).
To be honest I think they are a bit too fussy – a classic case of the customer insisting on it being done his way ( of which more later (:) )
They were mounted on the walls using stand off locators (as used for flat cut and moulded lettering).
In my original quotation I had specified that this was how they would be fitted.
As I was about to drive away, the customer came over and asked me if there was any way I could mount them flat up against the walls as he was worried that they would be pulled off by vandals!!
What I find most annoying was he waited until I had finished doing all three signs before asking me this question. I explained that I would have to cut the locators off (not an easy job) in order to mount them flat so would have to take them away again and return on Monday to fit the signs again. (hot) (hot)
What would you have done?
