Hanging out my shingle

I thought this might make it easier for people to find my house when they come over for help.

Congratulations. It'll be very exciting for you I'm sure, when the first person shows up you can really help.

Oh, I have been helping people out for a few years now. I just finally got smart enough to put the sign on the mailbox so they would stop missing the address. With the HOA, all of the mailboxes and houses look pretty much the same.

Where can we get that sign? or a good  - straight on -  pic of it? (so we can make one ourselfs 😉  )

I bought the sign many years ago, and I don't remember where I got it from. It was probably ebay or Amazon.

I saw this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-Parts-and-Service-Vintage-Metal-Wall-Sign-Plaque-Retro-Garage-Shed-Race/223538056895?hash=item340be80ebf:g:pLkAAOSwIbFc84KS

I'll take a closer photo later.

Be sure to adorn yourself!

Reminds me of the episode where Gomer moved in with Andy and all night people would stop and rev their motors up and Gomer would tell his diagnosis. Very funny.

That’s pretty cool @SteveJ.......Any bets on how long before you get a call from your HOA? Right after they call your next door neighbor with the Pink Flamingos!

My neighbors are getting so annoying I'm thinking of building a sign that says "Cliff's Hog Farm". There's no law against signs in my neighborhood but I couldn't actually have a pig farm. I would take it down when they start following they rules, no parking overnight on the street, keep the grass cut, just common sense stuff nobody follows anymore.

This should work for you.

@dutchzcarguy - I designed this on Signs.com as an aluminum sign

Dimensions are 24 inches wide by 6 inches tall. The font is "Headline News".

Here is the logo I used: 

It looks to be $24 USD plus shipping.

I asked my wife to see if she could match the background color to the blue in the logo. She got pretty close with #101a66.
