Mailbox Woes

Our house came with a brand new mailbox on top of 3 rotting boards on top of a rotting post inside a rusted milk can.  UGLY!  But again, the mailbox is very nice looking, black, sturdy, new.

This was a rough winter for our mailbox because every time the snowplow would drive by throwing tons of heavy snow against it, the rotting boards would pull apart and tip just a little more.

Well, Monday’s snow was the last straw.  I came home to find the brand new mailbox in the ditch, still attached to the 3 rotting boards.  The rotting post still stood proudly in the rusted milk can, having won the battle with the plow.

Ryan planned the solution Monday night and got the mailbox back on the rotting post Tuesday night (thanks to Daylight Savings).  Just an interim solution until warmer weather, but it sure is sturdy.  We got our first mail for the week on Wednesday.  Yay!  Netflix can now resume.
