They would have to pay me a hundred to haul it away, although I guess it would be a good thing for the industry just to destroy it, hunt down whoever did it and take his 3 dollar Home Depot trowel away.

It might not be pretty, but I'm sure it keeps the hood thugs from smacking it outta the park with a baseball bat.

sweet job

AmeliaP · 04-24-2007, 08:36 PM

....beer cans in there!

Subia29 · 04-24-2007, 09:37 PM

Hammered dog sh!t! But still......Looks like one my first side jobs.

Beer cans,You think!? That's called Drunken bond mailbox.

Tscarborough · 04-24-2007, 10:14 PM

My current mailbox took a 5 degree list within a year, most likely from all the beer cans inside of it. Crush protection, like a safer barrier for neighborhood drunks.

(Actually the county retrenched the ditch behind it and it eroded into it). I dug it out, straightened it with a come-a-long and some spread footings and it has been fine ever since.

laybrick · 04-24-2007, 10:23 PM

if not miter, at least stack 3 halves on the corners

Dik Redi · 04-24-2007, 10:25 PM

Just speechless

There was a guy that started building this mailbox yesterday down the street where I was woking. Not sure if it is going to turn out much better.

Chris Johnson · 05-15-2007, 07:38 PM

Kinda looks like the guy started went to lunch and forgot to come back

Bigbricklayer · 05-15-2007, 07:45 PM

I'm kinda anxious to see how it is going to turn out when they come back and finish it.

Tscarborough · 05-15-2007, 07:55 PM

Do him a favor and run over it tonight.

Chris Johnson · 05-15-2007, 07:55 PM

Don't hold your breath, the more I look I wonder if they were building a light pillar, went to lunch, then the post office came by (during lunch) and said hey lets put two mailboxes here!! See there is an explanation for everything.

Tscarborough · 05-15-2007, 07:59 PM

"Building" is a bit of a stretch. I might go so far as "piling up", but would certainly say they are wasting good stone and mortar.

Chris Johnson · 05-15-2007, 08:04 PM

The sad part is we all sit here and some pour bloak paid something to some contractor for this, it makes us all look bad, even though I am not a mason, TSCAR said in another post most people won't notice the stuff we see, but someone needs to police this type of work going on. I know we all hate HOA's, but they catch most of this stuff

Tscarborough · 05-15-2007, 08:05 PM

They will notice that, trust me.
