Have not posted in a while because our daughter has been keeping us busy. We had a decent day today and was able to work on a multiple projects that LOML listed for me to do this summer. Below is a picture of the mailbox that I installed today. This is such an improvement over the old one that the previous owner had put up. The post is a 4 X 4 cedar stained with an oil stain used for decks and fences. The whole thing was put together in less than 2 hours. I know that there was not a whole lot of woodworking involved here but just wanted to share. Also attaching a pic of my 9 month old daughter that's been keeping us busy.

The joints where connected with 1/2" dowels and exterior glue. The cap on the top is a solar light from Malibu. Just thought to add it to accent the copper trim on the actual mailbox. I bought the footing from Menards, it's a painted iron spike that had close to two foot that you have to burry or pound on the ground.Chris

Your daughter is adorable.
The mailbox is very nice too.
I don't like the overly done mail boxes with too cute box units to hold the mail.
Yours is clean and makes a nice statement. Good Idea on the numbers.

Many thanks for sharing the pictures and ideas. I'd like something similar for our house. Too many projects!
My wife is pregnant with our second, but we don't know yet whether it's a boy or girl. Yours is beautiful!- Chris.Comment
