Hi all, this is just completed. All HDU and all paint (no vinyl on this baby).

Great fun and a great challenge - first time I have put a "top" on one of my dimensional signs.

There is a groove between the "half broom handle" and the top that they can slide in that says "NO VACANCY"

Comments welcome.

 -

Cheers - Gregg

Love it! But hate to mention that accommodation is spelled incorrectly - looks like a fairly easy fix though.

Lori, I wonder if that misspelled panel covered up a former misspelling [Wink] !

Nice Gregg!

Were you tempted to remove the little tails on the start of the L and the end of the e ? There are a few swirls there which I think I might have tried to relayout for a little less congestion, maybe.

What is the name of the purple shade of paint? It looks bvery classy.

Thanks all. Ian I actually put those small bits IN. Being larger than the photo it actually looks quite nice. The purple is a Wattyl paint but the colour is "Plum FUN" can't remember if Wattyl or not - sometimes I use colours from anywhere to get it "right" and sometimes add double black or something so it then becomes a "customer tint".

Cheers - G

Thanks for all the great comments and the "spellcheck" everyone.

This turned out to be a "bonus" as during all conversations there had been no mention of double sided, which it was supposed to be...not pointing fingers now but they are Irish...lol.

Anyway, a quick (heavy - there are at least 4 rolled coats on all my signs) sand on the "accomodation" redo and onto the next side.

All finished to "double sided" and ready to ship.

Here is a quick pic hanging up with the corrections and the "NO VACANCY" slide in that was engineered to maintain the integrity of the sign rather than just a "hang on".

Cheers - G

No offence intended Declan, but feel free to PM me. I hope you have a comment on the work itself - would love to hear your comment on it.

Cheers - Gregg

PS: My wife is of Irish descent. We just spent last Saturday at the St Patricks Day Parade here in Sydney, then off for some craic at a popular Irish pub. There was nobody poking fun at themselves more than the Irish that were there.
