I didn't have the energy to go super fancy, especially on a monday night... I'd been in the house for 8 years now, yesterday was the third time I've mounted the mailbox, first time was when I first moved in (I didn't mount it very good, I think I screwed a 2x6 in on the end grain of the 4x4, maybe added a 2x4 gusset or something...), then one of the wife's friends somehow ran into it and knocked it off (I'm not sure how she got there, basically had a tire in the ditch, I have a circular driveway...) which was better, now this time it's more secure on the post...
I'll make something fancier one of these days but I don't want it to be a pain to mow around or anything, one of these days I want to put a culvert in the ditch and be done with it, it's only 20' long...
