What would you do???

[Eric]

This is the fonts I found closest to your sign STYMIE and PLAYBILL with some modification to PLAYBILL (ICE CREAM)
If this is ok I'll send it to someone... whoever you need it to go to.
But will need size to make it fit right.
A phone call and the truth would have taken care of all of this.
JohnieG can't imagine what your'e going through and I'm
sorry to hear this. In your world right now the sign is the last thing on your mind. Hope all works out for you and the best for your son.
Brian sorry for what you're going through.....
It will all work out... Let's hope she doesn't trash the sign and all his stuff.
Anyway here is what I came up with off the cuff....
This is a great group (for a bunch of guys and a few gals that think having a old soda machine is a crucial
in life... kinda funny when you think about it)
We're here for you both.... Let's just all be truthful
and up front...

Ok guys, lets get those prenupial agreements taken care of from now on....... '>

[sodaworks]

Hey Guys even though we never met I feel like I know you guys pretty well. Your both friends to us here at SMC and we all want to see you guy's work it out. Brian, I understand your frustrations as it took someone here about a year to send me some parts that he owed me. Fortunately my client was very understanding, more so than me. And Johnnie I too have been down the "D" road before. My ex was the biggest (^(%*$@! from *(&%(&$# and it cost me dearly but I was able to get custody of my Son. Whatever you do stay focused on your Son, he needs your support through this trying time. Nov, is just a few weeks away. I hope you guys work it out. '>

Wow.........


Umm...what can I say?

I've delt with both of you guys, at various points of time. I have complete and total respect for each of you. I think Josh said it best, on the 5th or 6th post, " we are all friends, like family".  Hell, I'm the "Red Headed" step child.

John, you bring an insurmountable amount of wisdom and techincal expertise
to this board. You have always been quick with information, give advise, and frankly I wish I had your ability to be such a big help in so many areas associated with these machines. You are a great asset.

That being said...Brian, you have every right to be dissapointed. The guys who are in the restoration business, rebuilding, reproduction, etc...myself included...have a responsibility to our customers. Sometimes, it's hard to leave work at work and home at home, but the two need to be seperated for the benefit of all involved.

I absolutely believe that this will be resolved. John has shown that he is a "stand up guy", simply by the admission of his foul up.

We are like family. Look at how many of us are willing to take up the slack, or take on the responsibility ourselves, and help and make it right!

We'll get!

Eric '>...your red headed sibling

The only mistake that I see he made was when he said.......... " I DO "
        Hearing both sides of the story,  I see no indication that Brian was being lied to about the status of his property. First the sign shop problem, then the wife.

        Hey Brian, hope you like Eric's fast work, he's great!  With these vinyl letters on the outside of the plexiglass, and a thin diamond pattern applied to the inside, it should light up just right.    Even when you get your original back, you will probably still choose to install this new one.

Glen,

I'm sure at some point, before saying "I do" they were happy together...don't you think? I've been married for 27 years this October 25th. If you read my bio, I'm 42...you do the math. I don't understand what it's like to go thru a divorce and I'm not going to get into a debate about who's right or wrong, or start wife bashing.

My point is simple, if the job was done in a "professional" capacity, it needs to stay professional. Good communication is key. I've had issues where I have been slowed down by something or another, and I've always made it up to the customer. It's not their problem, it's mine...period!  It's probably why I do the business I do.

As long as John was willing to admit, there was a problem in getting the sign out, he needs to be commended for it. On the other hand, here's Brian with an issue not by his own doing or choice.

Both sides are talking. Hell, we're all talking. Fix it and move on!

Eric:

Math was never my strong point.  Did you really get married as a 16 year old?'>??

Brian C

ps  Can I buy a thermostate for my c-51.  My beer is freezing overnight.

[BrianB]

First off, thanks to all for their input and ideas. It is best to move on and try and focus on the fix. I'm all about that.

Eric -

That artwork is awesome! Would the whole thing have to be done as two seperate layers with one being on the outside (the lettering) and the other on the inside (the red diamonds)?

Brian,

It was 15 actually.


Sure, give a call and I'll fix you up with a new stat.

Hey

can you really get married at 15 in the US.

Here you have to be at least 16 with parents approval or 18 without.
