2 hours for design, approx. one week of workdays to do the job, one shot lettering enamel for the lettering (not vinyl). Depending on the equipment the shop has at its disposal, a danger factor could be added.

adding new material is not an option, this is a score board at a ball park. its a built box. THE OLD WALLDOGERS win.....i priced it at $10 a sq.ft. basiclly. $3703.00 was the total when i got to the bottom. i did the 370 x $10 for base, then i took it apart as to , labor, materials, design and scaffold rental. havent heard the outcome yet, but mark(my parntner) said he was glad we did a breakout proposal, the guy was lookin at it like he knew what he reading. WE SHALL SEE WHO GETS THE WORK....thanks to all just wanted to verifiy to myself and to mark that we aint over the top on the price. he is a damn hard worker and did this sign 8-9 yrs ago(before we met) for this major corp....and he charged them $1500!!!!!! and at that time it was just wash down and repaint.
