As winter can be a somewhat slower season for us, it gives us time to clean up around the shop. Sometimes the time to muse over rearranging the furniture for a new look or trying our hand at organizing everything better. However this time it was more of a virtual cleaning. Our fileserver was closing in on its maximum capacity and we needed to free up some space. The first folder I tackled was Pictures, we like to take pictures of completed work and have kept files since the company came under new ownership in 2007.
The pictures I deleted were either duplicates, blurry or poorly taken. It was a lot of pictures to sort through, and nostalgic. Call me silly but the pictures helped me to remember some of the first signs I ever assembled. It showed a trail of progress that not only I but everyone else at the shop has made over the years. And the shop itself, seeing the improvement of quality in the signs with both our growing expertise and the new equipment in the shop. I’ll be uploading pictures to the website over the next few days, some old and some new, maybe you’ll see the improvement too.
Also, my efforts cleared up 5GB of space. We like to take pictures.

The first day back at work for the new year is refreshing. I feel motivated and energized for the new year thanks to all the changes we’ve made recently. For one, the lobby has been completely reorganized, only one part of it looks the same as before. Having a new perception of the store helped inspire little brain storms of how else we can improve the store. Before long we were going through the entire store, reorganizing and disposing of what was no longer needed. A new idea that occurred to us was to have a ‘dollar menu’. Left over materials from large cut boards would be placed aside for the ‘dollar menu’. A customer can purchase each piece for $1 as is, and then pay an additional amount for any lettering or pictures they would like to place on it. It may not be the best solution for a professional sign, but it’s perfect for people who want a small sign for fun, as a personal gift or something they can use to decorate their office, home, den, garage, tree-house, pet-house,etc.
