Shared Driveway House Number Solutions: How To Prevent Your Packages From Being Delivered To The Wrong Home

By

Shared driveways often present difficulty in finding your home for package deliveries, visitors, and first responders.  At Comfort House we are frequently called upon for an address sign solution for such situations, and many of these are customized for very specific needs.  For example, we just completed a custom solution for which the client’s packages were always being delivered to the wrong address.  Rather than use one of our more typical shared driveway house number signs like in the illustration shown below, the client had a tree he wished to affix the sign to.

                                        Shown above: Shared Driveway House Sign # CRDA

For the tree the client desired the house numbers to be in a vertical orientation with arrows pointing towards the respective address.  We presented two options; one with the arrows beneath the numbers and one with the arrows beside the numbers.  Our recommendation was for the arrow beside the numbers to be certain to get the directional message across and the client agreed.  Since it was just a single digit house number we were able to make the numbers very large without increasing the size of the plaque. 

Rather than our typical corner holes for normal surface mounting or holes patterned for a lawn stake, we made two small nail holes at top and bottom at the client’s request.  The final job was very nice and clean as seen in the above illustration and gets the job done so that parcels are now delivered to the correct house.  If you require your own shared driveway or multi unit address sign solution, please contact us at custom@comforthouse.com.

One of the most luxurious fabrics that can be used for your bed covers is satin and contrary to what many people think, satin is really not a specific fabric, but rather a specific type of fabric weave.   It is a weave that results in a glossy, smooth fabric that feels cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If the fabric is formed with the special satin weave using long filament fibers such as nylon, polyester or silk, it is called satin , although purists might insist that the fabric be made from silk.   On the other hand, if the yarns used are short staple yarns such as cotton, the fabric is a considered a sateen.   Sateens are cheaper but have almost the same feel and wear qualities as satins. Satin sheets are very soft and silky, come in many different colors and most people think they are very comfortable.

Is Your Number Up For First Responders? Address Sign Tips.

Everyone is aware that time is of the essence when responding to an emergency.   The loss of even a minute or two in providing life saving interventions, be it defibrillation, medication or airway control can be the difference of life or death.   To provide appropriate care, of course, the  Emergency Medical team must first find you or the patient.  During the day that is usually pretty easy since house numbers are normally readily visible on the front of your home and Comfort House has an extensive selection of shapes, sizes and styles of address numbers to fit these needs.  At night, however, due to the design of your home, it may be almost impossible to see the number on the front of your house even when your front light fixture is turned on.  If this is the case at your home, consider moving your numbers to a better location or choose one of the many styles of reflective or lighted house number signs that are available. These are often referred t...
