Our mailbox has been in sad condition for a bit.
The design of the box has a wooden facade. The wood came off the door quite a while ago. In an effort to repair the door, the door came completely off. Not too climate friendly.

At the same time, our neighbor's post came out of the ground. She has stuck it back in a few times, but it keeps falling over.
We decided to go in together with our neighbor and install a double mailbox!!! Don and I shopped on line, as we learned we had little to no selection locally. We also learned the cost was more than we estimated.The boxes arrived via UPS - lots of them! And before the weather turned cold, Don and Reese got to work. On the first day of work, Reese dug a two feet hole with a digger - going into solid clay. Great job Reese! The post was set into cement - it will solid for years and years!

By day two a cold front came through with a bit of wind, rain and very cold temperatures. Don worked in the rain to hang the boxes.
