Going Postal

Evidently our mailbox wasn't up to the US postal service standards. The postwoman left us a diagram showing us that the mailbox wasn't at the proper height (45") and the box was not secured to the base. The repairs to the mailbox clearly was not a priority for us, but the alternative of not getting our mail was a swift kick to get this done.

Here is the new mailbox, Erik re-used the post for our light at the end of the driveway, and some leftover decking from the back deck.

Peggy the Postwoman was very pleased with the new mailbox, she even pulled into the driveway one morning to find out what colors we have used for the siding & trim. She loves the progress on the house so much, I think she just wanted to see what we would do with the mailbox.
