If your phone rings once and when you answer no one is there, that's most likely because I SIMPLY DIALED A WRONG NUMBER. We don't know each other of course, but if I had actually wanted to talk to you I would have waited until you answered or I would have left a message. You don't have to call me back so I can explain what happened to you. In the low-tech old days, you would just hang up the phone and say, "huh." Try doing that.
So I made some metal house numbers. Now I have to decide how to mount them. Baseline of steel flat bar? Plaque of wood or metal? Slab of ceramic or stone?
Looking for suggestions....
I will also need to find the best way to weatherproof them with some sort of patina. I will be pestering metal-working friends for that information.
Update: Rats.
