On Thursday there was a pounding on my front door, now usually I avoid answering the door but today I decided to go for it.
Me: Can I help you?
Man: My brother and I paint the numbers on the driveways every year and yours are gone so wanted to let you know we are offering this service today. Here are the designs you can have for $5 more.
Me: (looking around for said 'brother', glancing at the laminated sheet he handed me) I said let me call my husband. I'll be right back.
I shut the door and called C told him what was going on he said go for it since you can barely see the numbers on the house anyway.
Me: (to man at the door) "OK let me see the sheet again." So I'm staring at the sheet that has designs for most of the TX area teams and local college logos.
Man: "we are doing both sides of the driveway so if you are torn between two we can put one on each side."
Me: "No, that's not it... I'm a Yankees fan." (I know this was hard for him to figure out b/c the Yankees flag that was 24 inches away from him was not actually touching him.)
Man: "well, I could do the football helmet and put NY on it"
Me: "Uh, that would be football, the Yankees are a baseball team."
Man: "Oh. What is their logo?"
Me: (looking intently at the 24"x36" flag 2 feet away from where we are standing.)
"Um, it's an N with a Y over it.
Man: "Can you print it out?"
Me: "YES!" (thank you google images!)
Man: "you go print it out and bring some scissors or an exacto knife and I'll get started on the numbers."
Me: "Cool beans, I'm on it."
So I ran upstairs and printed the NY logo and this cool man sat at the bistro table on the front porch and painstakingly used my exacto knife to cut out the NY logo and then sprayed it to the front curb. (He kept the stencil by the way 'in case anyone else wants it') So now I have a one-of-a-kind front curb #'s design and I am happier than a clam!
Man: "All done! For the special design it'll be $5 more."
Me: "Sweet! That is totally worth it to me!" (besides now I know how it is done and we'll do it ourselves next time.)

Have a FABULOUS three day weekend "Ya'll"!

You are hilarious! I need that guy to come by here! Actually, I think he did and we weren't home. We had a flyer on the front porch.
That is TOO cool! I didn't even know they did that! Or that we could even do our own! I think that is cool that you have a little bit of NY on the curb of your house!
so funny! very cool, but bummer on the black tire mark across it. LOL.
