Hammerin' Signs

Campaign signs have hit the trail!

In the last few days I've hammered in a good number of wooden picket signs and some larger wooden slab signs.

The sign manufacturing which began the previous winter (see sign history here) with cutting down some dead poplar trees is now complete. I spray painted the lettering onto the milled wood using cut out letters from cereal and pizza boxes. Yes, I hope to make this the most economical election campaign ever.


Large letters used to make the horizontal slab signs.


The well-used template to paint the picket signs.

I've mostly placed the signs on municipal land. I don't want to bother people, asking to place a sign on their lawn.

A large slab sign installed. Later I outlined the faint
website address with green felt marker for better viewing.

Instead of scattering the signs far and wide, I'm concentrating them in groups because I like the visual impact.

These pickets lined up along the road are tempting targets
for bat-wielding road warriors. I hope they aren't used
for target practice - but I'd understand.
