So this is sorta solar related.

Denise and I wanted to give one of our long running customers a house warming gift.
It’s kinda a big deal for them because they’ve been trying to finish their house and get moved in for YEARS, and they have been hit with just about every kind of setback you can think of-and some you wouldn’t.
Anyway, they have finally gotten to move into their off-grid dream house after five years or so of struggling.
So we decided to make them a nice sign.
Above is the CAD drawing after we decided on a design that we thought they would like.

Front part of the sign cut out.

Back part of sign cut out, bent and polished.

Chemical patina /rust process started.
Also in this picture is another sign that I just happen to be building for a customer at the same time. More on that later.

Solar lights installed in back piece.

And here’s the finished product installed on their new house.
They were pretty excited to get it, which made us feel good.

Their house has turned out amazing.
We are really happy for them!
