How the small details make a huge difference


When I drive through our neighborhoods I can't help but look at all of our signs with the big four colorful squares, the Garman differences of course, and love how much they stick out. (Now if you don't know what the four Garman differences are, pfff we need to talk!) Even on the gloomiest of days you look up and you see color. Although the design of our signs can be attributed largely to Alaina Money (who likes to build pretty) and Jim (who likes everything clutter-free) we have a wonderful guy that helps us bring our thoughts to life on our signs.

Randy at Routerxpress not only gets us replacement lot signs after we lose them for ummm the 6th time, but he also helps us visualize what our signs are going to look like. For example, last Thursday I was given the task of ordering a replacement sign for the entrance of Holly Glen. If you have seen our signs before, which I would hope you have and if you haven't look below for an example, they are a clean and not too wordy.

Randy came up with a rough drawing of what we had explained in words. When we saw it we realized that was NOT what we wanted. The simpler the better. After about 12 emails we had settled on the new design of the sign.

Thank you for everything you do Randy!
