When working with power tools, always use gloves and eye protection! I put a sizable hole in my jeans because when I was cutting it out the board was on my lap and I forgot to make sure it was moved regularly. All house number signs are hand made with superior. If you cut corners now, you'll always know that you cut corners and did a cruddy job on it. The engraved address plaque is illuminated by an LED light bar that is attached to the top of the plaque. Then I used a dremel tool with a router bit on it. I used a drill to poke holes in the mass of the numbers, just to get rid of some of the bulk.

Now that you have your numbers penned down, it's time to start cutting them out. Once you have it where you want it, trace with pen or pencil the numbers onto the wood. Unless you're going for the crooked thing. Now, once the numbers are cut out, put the template page onto the plywood and try as hard as you can to make it level to the wood.

Good, now that my liability is done, we can continue. Carefully use a razor blade to cut out the numbers. (optional) remote controlled Christmas light pigtail Based on simple indirect lighting principles, I made a lighted address box for the front of my house, and also made sure it had high contrast for daylight visibility as well.įor materials, I used only what I had laying around, but I understand that some people won't have these things, so here's a shopping list:ġx section of wooden shelf or other white-washed woodġx section of plywood roughly the same size as the shelfġx short length of pressure-treated 2x4, for the 2 box sidesġx LED rope light length (mine was 10 feet)Ĥ-6x 3in deck screws or anchor bolts for wall mountġ0-12x 1-1/2" deck screws for box assembly So, I looked online and found that the cheapest option was more than I wanted to spend, but I realized that it was something I could fashion myself. How is the pizza guy supposed to give me my dinner if he can't find my house? Guys, help me out here! My house had poor address visibility in the daylight, and no visibility at night.
#LIGHTED ADDRESSBOX INSTALL#
Note 1: If you are hanging this address plaque in a spot without access to a transformer, you will need to purchase and install either a plug-in or hard-wire transformer (sold separately, Comfort House Item # 67029F).My house needed something, and like many other guys and gals out there, when faced with a need, I looked around and said, how can I fix it.
#LIGHTED ADDRESSBOX FULL#

simply connect the plaque using an outdoor electrical box 120 Volt or the.

If your existing transformer has lower voltage, please order the incandescent model.) (Please note: LEDs need 18v-20v to operate properly.
