HOW DO WE HANDLE REAL ESTATE IN 14 DEGREE BELOW ZERO WEATHER?

With a pick ax of course! 

This is just an example of a home sale where, in 14 degrees BELOW zero temperatures, our real estate sign needed to be taken down. We use large steel bases and heavy 4 x 4 posts for our signs so even on a good day they take some muscle. The steel base works great to keep the signs in place with any wind but, with the snow and ice built up at driveway corners, we tend to have to break them loose this time of year (hence the pick ax and the 'here's Johnny' face).

Just another example of some of the extremes we go through to 'get the job done' for you! 

In case the temperature scared you a little, we recently went to Montana 
and it was 27 below zero. Back in Wasilla the temp went back up to being 
in the 30 degree above zero range again. :)

If you need Realtors that will go to extremes for you, give Jacque & Larry a call today!

Oh my, I can relate. Fortunately, I got my signs in during reasonable weather, but getting up and to them on ice and snow was a little scary. But I got it done...we do what we have to right LOL!

OH MY is right, and cannot imagine trying to get a sign INTO the ground with those temperatures.

Hi there Joan, it is actually easier to set them on the snow pack and let them melt into it than get out the crow bar and pick ax after the fact. This was in an area with a lot more snow than we had and the snow plow came up the driveway a little from the main road and had it nearly buried. All is good, the home sold and the sign survived with no Realtors injured in the process. :)
