Re: FS--4 New U-steps for H2--$300
I just checked Google maps and I'm 880 miles due south of you, just keep driving straight down until you reach the Gulf of Mexico and then stop just before you get to the water. It's a little town called, of all things, Niceville, and yes, it is a nice place to live in Florida.
I've got the sign mounted on two four foot long 1/4"x2" sticks of angle iron, and another piece of angle on top to hold it to the wall. It's a 2x4 wall and the angle iron is lag bolted into the studs. A very serious set-up, not for the faint of heart if you're not confident in your skills to hang. I even started questioning myself when I was at the final stages of getting it hung. Took 4 guys to get it on the wall.
Was it worth the pain of dealing with my wife, who didn't really understand what or why I was doing? Was it worth it to drive 24 hour round trip to pick these up over 800 miles?
YOU BET!! Even my wife has to show everybody who comes to the house this sign, she has to light it up and show it off. It's just that cool!!!
BTW--that's a 6 foot long by 3 foot wide workbench I built to support the drill press I bought to prep these brackets for sign duty--sucks trying to hand drill 1/4" metal, trust me. I was also able to use the work bench to lay the sign on before the final heave ho! onto the wall. This give you some perspective the sheer size of the sign--my workbench top is the same dimension as your standard exterior door, and the sign DWARFs it!
