Two winters ago the snow plow hit our mail box and broke it off. With over 2' of snow on the ground I cobbled a repair together as best as I could which has gotten us by for 2 summers. I decided this summer I would finally do a more permanent fix. So just a day before the first snow flies, I finally got around to doing it. In G. Melvin Glade style, this is a cedar 6x6 dug 2-1/2' in the ground. It was really hard to tell with the post out of the ground how it would look, but if you look I used my sign maker to put the house number on the post. That part really didn't come out like I wanted, so I will cover it up and put the number above the cross arms. I think that will look better. Also I have a copper post cap coming sometime that will dress up the post. Below the mail box is a space for our news paper delivery. No wimpy 4x4 mail box for me. Tim the Tool Man would be proud!

That will break the plow next time any snow plow driver tries to mess with your box!
Nice dad! You look great by the way!
