Learned from a mistake..

So I put my bandit signs out for the weekend and when I went to go pick them up nearly 90% of them were on the ground...I have made some stupid mistakes...

#1: Didn't take my time to hammer the wooden stakes into the ground.

#2: Wooden stakes are to short so did not give enough room to hammer in ground. So the signs are basically on the ground because the stake is too short!

#3: If I use wooden stakes, I need to be sure to put two nails to hold sign from falling off the stake.

#4: Don't try to half ass do it yourself kit! I ordered the professional signs. But instead of ordering the H STAKES, I went out and bought nails and wooden stakes to save...like when I rethink about it.. probably only 15$...WHAT A WASTE!!!

I have learned from this mistake! Now I must figure out if I am going to just go buy TALLER WOODEN STAKES and Re-try or go re-buy signs and H-Stakes...
