I sanded the cube down, re-sprayed, then sprayed another blue fade with a touchup gun. Installed with stainless steel studs and Gorilla Grip construction adhesive, let it set up for awhile then got s couple of photos just before sundown Friday.

At sundown the two 10w solar floodlights kicked on. The little floodlights do make it readablefrom the highway but I think it could stand to be a bit brighter.

Looking good, Wayne!

Posted by Dave Sherby (Member # 698) on :

Very nice. I think you're right. More light would help.

Posted by Wayne Webb (Member # 1124) on :

Thanks!
A higher wattage LED should do it. It will still need to be solar lights for now.

I came up with a price of $6249 with these graphics installed. That does not include tax, delivery, or installation. What do ya think?

Posted by Jean Shimp (Member # 198) on :

what is the overall size of the monument?

Posted by Wayne Webb (Member # 1124) on :

8'x6' and 24" thick at the widest points.

That price seems about right. In my county anything over 32 sq. ft. has to be signed/sealed by a Fl licensed engineer. Engineers usually specify a LOT of concrete in the foundations. The costs for installation and permitting cost be an additional $1500.

Thanks Jean,
This one is made of polystyrene foam (EPS). Even with the HDU elements it weighs less than 150lbs. All the foundation it needs is a level place on the ground. It has 2 sticks of 4" sch40 PVC pipe embedded inside and these are slipped over two steel poles, which are concreted into oversized holes in the ground. The only forces involved are windloads at or near ground level. In my county, one like this doesn't need an engineer and very minimal concrete.

lol - a brain box...

Maybe open the top of the box and have a big light-bulb over the brain?

ok. Just a bright idea I had ...
But anyway ...
