    Working on this today.
    Stopped back home to cool off.
    I bet this is a H&S no-no over there, but the client provided the scaffolding!
    Heck it’s only 16′ up.
    Using Oracal 751 and doing it wet app with Rapid Tac a letter at a time.
    Lettering is a foot high.
    Will be glad when this is finished.
    Love….Jill

    Jill, take some Pimms back to keep you refreshed in the afternoon sun.

    Looks good, bet it’s sticking like the proverbial to a blanket in that heat.

    H&S 😮 …….. scaffolding nothing unusual for a brushie though!!!!

    It’s done!
    The second side took a whole hour less for some reason.
    I guess because my legs had stopped trembling.
    I dunno what Pimms is but I did drink a Gatorade at the end (ick)
    It was about 85° but breezy.
    Glad I went with the wet app on the aluminum.
    Literally the second I finished they reopened the pumps.
    Excuse the crappy cell phone pic.
    Anyone want to venture a guess on how to pronounce the name?

    probably pronounced bogarse, bog ash or borax?
    Well done jill, but you do need to try dry.
    it will save you loads of time up on the scaffolding

    Yeah I thought it was funny that there was one of the three minis in the county there.

    Name is pronounced Boe-Gazz

    I am getting good at applying dry but there was just no room for error in that boiling sun.

    It’s a fave, Big Red. Just used it on the fire station last week.
    But they are about 10 miles apart not on the same road.
    I did the circles at the last minute thinking of Wonder Bread.
    There was a Wonder Bread truck delivering in the first pix I posted.
    😀
    I did their original signs about 10 years ago and I’d never brag about them now even though I was quite proud of them back in the day.

    Nicely done Jillybeans. I used a scaffold tower similar to that a couple of weeks ago. It was so old I think it was the one used to build the Great Pyramid!

    Even though it was rusty, the scaffolding was quite sturdy.
    And I had 4 nice gentlemen to move it while I directed.
    I did get a splinter on my hiney, though.
    Not too sore this morning thank God!

    Nice bit of work Jill, I don’t like scaffold towers much..just getting to old for em now I guess.

    Do you want me to fly Dave over with his needle to remove your splinter 😕
