    from previous post you will know i was fitting LED’s in newcastle last week.
    while i was there i popped down to middlesburgh to fit another sign. just a quickie, nothing special… basically its a panatrim fasica with aluminium panel, vinyl letters and a raised flat cut logo. this job was to replace an old sign they have had for years. (we never done it :D) the old sign was 3/4 inch plywood painted and then hand sign written, then bolted to the wall… made to last eh? been up there god knows how long…
    i thought it was a bit weird taking down such an old version of basically the same sign. how things change indeed? our sign was only 10’x5′ i think but is part of an ongoing rebrand for this company covering the whole of the UK.

    Why did they want it centered over the awning? It looked much better off center. 😉
    Just kidding Robert. It looks good.
    BTW, how’s the finger?

    thanks for the replies folks :lol1:

    marek, fingers much better thanks, but man-o-man does it hurt at times. if i lean over to pick something up pain shoots through it like nothing on earth. takes me a few minutes to recover every time :lol1:
    the weirdest thing is i am just starting to hold things gently with it. Like holding vinyl as i apply… but its weird for such a small bit missing the vinyl just slips out my fingers due to the bit missing… very odd feeling… 😕

    The raised work casts a lovely shadow

    How much of your finger did you swipe off Rob?
