A solution to every challenge

I came across an old concept drawing from a project that was one of the first we created with our CNC router back in 2006. It brought back some great memories. The sign was for a couple who had two home-based businesses. One made honey, and the other had bees for honey production. The challenges were many on this project, but I was confident we could make it happen. The solution was to create a honeycomb with glass inserts, with bees buzzing overhead. They loved the design and asked us to make a sign that was at least nine feet tall. The city ordinance demanded that any sign taller than eight feet had to be engineered, which took the project out of their stated budget. The solution to this bureaucratic challenge was easy. I asked them to create a three-foot-high berm in their yard, which they could plant with colourful flowers. We planted the eight-foot-tall sign on top. Everyone was happy, and no bylaws were broken.
