TIME FOR A NEW MAILBOX POST

You know you are in trouble when your mailbox falls on the carrier. 

The old mailbox.

The ugly light post next to the mailbox.

Painted the bottom of the ugly light post.

Cut boards for my new design and sanded.

Painted this with exterior paint, 4 coats.

Predrilled holes in wood to prevent splitting.

  We cemented the post in. I added house numbers and painted the box to match the house. It shouldn't fall on the mailman again, at least not for a long while.
