To take a traffic sign off a sign post, do I not hold the back of the
screw with one pliers while I twist the nut with another pliers? There's a ONE WAY sign laying on a sidewalk near my house (the result of a hurricane). I tried to take it off the post it's on by twisting the nut and it didn't come off. I scratched it with my pliers, so now I don't want it anymore. So therefore I cased my neighborhood tonight for another sign for me and I thus found a STOP sign right above a mailbox. There's no streetlight and so I won't stick out like a sore thumb standing there on top of the mailbox. I used to write graffiti so I know how to listen for cop cars with my back to traffic. How long should it take my to remove the stop sign? Will it have just two screws like the ONE WAY sign does? |

This is the STOP sign and the knocked-down ONE WAY sign that I just photographed. If I was a troll, I would have said that I'm coveting a "CAUTION CHILDREN AT PLAY" sign or something. |

That sign GREW there? The people that put it there, own it, so pick up the phone and call them. They'll fix it. BTW, trolls don't always know they're trolls. ![]() R |
