On March 1, 2024 I posted about our new and improved landscaping around our mail box
Beloiw is what happened sometime after 2pm on a Tuesday March 12th
someone played havoc with our mailbox
No clue who they didnot stop. We have a cul de sac text group we all suspect the city trash truck. Tuesday is trash day they turn the corner like their tails on fire. Big and noisy all
Didn’t knock the post over (it is in cement)or run up on the curb
To say we were MAD would be an understatement but since this is a famiy show I'll JUST SAY M A D X 1,000,000
We used a bungee cord and tape to secure it.
It was an ordeal to get the wooden brace off below. We really did use every tool in Bryan's tool box to get that brace off. We are pretty sure the wooden brace was STEEL disguised in wood.
It was secured into post from inside with screws and nails.
Thankfully the post was not damaged. It was set in cement ten years ago. No way we could have gotten it out of the ground.
Bryan ordered a new mail box and steel brace for the post. They arrived the end of March.
He repainted post We spent most of the first weekend in April taking it apart the old brack and getting new brace secured.
There is still some touch up painting to do.
WE SINCERELY HOPE THIS IS THE 3rd AND FINAL INSTALLMENT OF MAIL BOX MAYHEM
After the post was up and painted....dag blasted birds (I think the Trout Talking Tabbies will like this) decided to use the gold dome as their loo seat. Their poooop ran all down the side. They now know I am the smartest bird on the block.
We live on the corner and have a nice breeze. I bought a whirlygig. Attached it low enough that it whirls in their face and it is shiny birds don't like shiny. No a trace of poooop since I installed my mailbox whirlygig.
