•  Could you use copper tubing??  Or purhaps you could use a frame that would fit the number of tiles you needed, and you could design your own tiles?

• I really like the idea in blue, that sounds like the easiest way. You could make templates of mission style numbers for your designs on the tiles.

• You might want to check out what is required by law. We lived in a town once that your numbers had to be a minimum of 3" and seen from the road.(I found this out when the framed tiles that were there blew off from a storm and we didn't notice.) It was the fire dept that told us...

• An idea would be to attack your numbers to the mail box like my dad did. HE is a welder and cut out 135 on the mailbox and aheared (welded) it to the chain link bottom of hs mailbox. I realize that this is WAY WAY WAY to much trouble but I though you could just adhere premade stencils that way to your house.

  My dad used to be a welder at Dravo in Pittsburgh years ago.
