Hey folks, I was wondering if I could get some help here. I'm going over what I'm going to get for family and friends for the holidays, but I can't find a couple of the things I need. I'd be grateful if you could tell me where I can find:

Street Signs - This is mainly why I posted this here. I could have sworn someone here had a site that sold street signs. My girlfriend loves horses and I'd like to get her a horses crossing sign. If I'm imagining the user-owned site thing, then does anyone know of such a store?

This Old House - I also thought that since I know there are some TOH watchers here, maybe you guys would know. I'm trying to get recordings of the Concord Barn project for my dad. Does anyone know where I could get such a thing? I suppose I might have to settle for VHS, since I doubt it's been put on DVD (Ask This Old House, for some reason, IS on DVD. Go figure).

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hmmm.... I'll ask a friend about the horse crossing sign. Any specific specs? Special requests?

Whichever is the standard horse crossing sign. I think they're usually about 2.5' on each side, and has someone riding a horse on it. Oh, and they're yellow.

*edit*

Here's what I'm talking about:

foxtrot_xray made the Chapter 11 sign for us -- the one that we're holding up in the Rio Music Manager easter egg.

Like this place? I have never ordered from them before, but they have all of the right material and credentials, based on their site.

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Does anyone have any leads on the This Old House thing?

Given that the TOH site only has DVDs for the AskTOH series, I do not think it is available. You might be able to try for a VHS of it. Contact WGBH Boston directly - they may sell the videos even if they are not available through the TOH store.
