Well, OK it wasn’t really a celebration. I just took down the mailbox. Slow day.
The mailbox was our builder’s idea. Instead of changing our address at the post office (and dozens of places we do business with) he suggested that we just hang a mailbox on his sign and see if the Post Office would deliver to the mailbox instead of putting it through the mail slot in the front door (which would be gone!). Here is the mailbox.
Nice, huh? White. Matches the sign post. I picked it out myself. Cost me nine bucks, cash money. 🙂
The Post Office agreed to that, so we did it, and it saved us countless hours of stress and a lot of stamps. But now we have our front door mail slot back, so we don’t need the mailbox anymore.
We ran into the mail delivery guy and told him that we would like to start having our mail delivered through the mail slot in the door again, and he agreed. He even started doing that last week, even though the more convenient mailbox was still on the post.

So, since we are not using the mailbox anymore, I took it down. I found my trusty socket wrench (finding stuff is still a challenge) and used it.
And here is the mailbox, toes-up.
