AFTERTHOUGHTS:
I'm glad I documented a bit of what I did yesterday... A man at Home Depot showed me 16' pieces of wood for $0.72. I told him I wanted seven of those to be cut down to 24" stakes.

I was so excited as I walked to the cashier register because I got all this wood for around $8.00!

When the cashier rung it up I was immediately taken back by the total... $80.00!!!

Ha - I apologized later, but out of my shock I may have said, "You didn't do it right, there's no way it's that much. I can't pay that much for this crappy wood." not as gently as I could have.

Come to find out it's actually $0.72/ft for the 16' lengths...

Just so you don't make the same mistake... Please see the difference in quality below:



Yes, I felt like an idiot. I had the same amount of boards cut for $11.45. Wow.

On another note, I finished spray painting (50) bandit signs:

I'm excited to post them up today! Especially since it will be the last time I ever spray paint these things again! Total Time = 3:30hr (not including buying supplies)

I am in the process of making a contraption to help put them up on poles =)
