I have an opportunity to bid on a job for a local health care facility to completely re-sign the interior wayfinding signage from scratch as a new owner just took over and plans to re-paint, remodel, etc. to get this place modernized. There are several cheezy signs now with the braille signage cobbled onto the bottom of the signs. I have never tackled a job like this and am not up to speed on ADA and interior wayfinding signage. Does anyone have any recommendations on who a good supplier might be to work with for getting a sign system with interchangeable blanks that I could cut vinyl lettering and apply myself?

Thanks!

Kurt,
I use Clarke Systems in PA for my ADA.

Call and ask for Karen, tell her I sent you, and she'll help you out.

If you have floor plans, they wil even help produce a sign schedule to ADA compliance.

Good Luck!

Scott Sign Systems Inc. www.scottsigns.com has done many for me at a decent price. We make our own now with our router...but when I need braille dots I outsource them.

Kurt-
We can help you out, we've got a engraver/router and are set up to do Raster Braille. And have done some major hospital ADA and wayfinding projects.
Give me a call 218-834-2305 and we can work something out.

Outhouse racing is coming up quick, my outhouse is going to be on a float in the Christmas of the North Parade in Duluth in a couple of weeks.

Sat. was Deer opener, I'm swamped so I was working
all day instead of hunting. About 5:00 I got out the gun and decided to go for a walk on the back 40. Right away I scared up 5 deer so I sat on a stump.Out walks a doe and stands staring at me for five minutes 15yds away, I'm thinking this is way too easy so I let her walk away, two minutes later a deer walks out head down, raises his head, 8 point buck, bam, heart shot. Half an hour after I walked out of the shop I'm going back to get the 4 wheeler to haul the buck out. So now the work begins, polish, italian, slim jims all need to be made. This year we can shoot 5 deer, I don't where
you'd put all the meat.

Wow, thanks for the input all of you. I've been gone bow hunting so this is my first time to check out the BB since I posted this. I've got some decisions to make! Thanks again. Congrats Colonel on the buck!
