What about this shed? Is it aluminum, plastic, or wood? Did you put it up, or did it come with the house?

That is REALLY sharp! I might see something like that after my kids get their crap out of mine.

Well my wooden dowel trick worked! I just carved out a triangular section of the back of each letter using a putty knife, painted the dowel the same wall color, then used some acrylic caulk to cement it in. This way the letters will still look flush against the wall. Just have the other half to go :)

I'll work on a new one for Tluckblog since I'm not 100% happy with my DIY sign anyway. Here's how it turned out:











As you can tell, you only really see the dowels if you look up close, so that all worked out pretty well.

This is not perfect (it definitely looks like a DIY project if you get up close to it) but I think it will do for now until we have a budget to buy a real sign :) I think it will look great on camera.

Since they are so light, they are just hanging onto the wall via two tiny white finishing nails... so if they need to be moved or removed temporarily, I can just lift them up off the wall.

I'm going to start working on getting a garage. Then I'll worry about a sign later.

Looks good.

If you are going to be moving the sign around a lot, you may want to consider an epoxy coating over the letters to make them less prone to denting and chipping.
