Curb Painting

A guy showed up in the neighborhood a couple of days ago and posted flyers about having your house number painted on the curb. I've heard of this before, and have seen the results. Actually, I do think it's a good idea, it's just that I've never taken the time to get it done. This sounded like a good opportunity to get it done professionally for $20. Sure, I could've bought the materials for a lot less than that and done it myself, but what fun would that be! I noticed not too many people in the neighborhood agreed as I could only find 3 houses that also though it was a worthwhile investment. Indeed, the end result looks pretty darn sharp. They used a reflective paint that kind of glows in the dark. They painted a black rectangle, then 4" white numerals inside. Looks good to me, and money well spent. Kudos to the guy that did it, he's found a unique way to make some money with not tremendously hard work.
