Sign Install Finally Done!

We finished painting the last of the rocks on Friday morning, and did a final test fit of all the parts.
 I love the brown y -grey colour Jody got applied to the rocks. I could hardly wait to put the clear on the water.

Once the rocks had dried up enough to mask, I applied the 2 stage automotive urethane clear coat to the water portion. The smooth curves really made the water come to cartoony life. I love the clarity and shine to the clear.
 I was able to finagle a solar powered pathway light from a buddy of mine, and applied it to the top of the marker-buoy. Not very bright, but fit the bill perfectly!
All in all, it only took about 20 minutes to install, and fit like a glove! Not overly excited by the building behind the sign, but I do love our new sign.......................finally!

Now onto the other jobs we're starting!

    Let's hope your sign doesn't become as white washed by the gulls, as your dock.
