I can only take so much....
« on: March 31, 2004, 10:15:43 am »
Last spring Kathy suggested to me that we needed a new mailbox and post.  Told her the old one was just fine and the kids had given up bashing it with the baseball bats long ago.  She wouldn’t let up on me and last fall said she was going to the store and BUY a post and box.  Let her buy a new box while I rushed out to the shop to make a new post.  Few days ago my favorite magazine got wet in the old box so decided I could brave the weather today with my dog buddies and get the new post in the ground. ;D

I like the new post so good I'm going into mass production and sell them.  If you want one get your order in and I should have it for you by say Christmas or so. :)

I really like the mailbox post!  8)

The old one.  

Can you make posts like that?

I need 6 of them by next week.  They need to be aged just like the one in the picture.  ;D :D :D

MB, you can’t have my old box and post.  I’m going to plant it in Arkansas when I move there so nobody will mistake me for a rich Yankee. :D :D

Pick a date for when the box gets its first hit and will start a pot.  The winner gets a free mailbox post.  Hints – don’t pick a date too far out as 20' wide planters on 16' wide roads is here and high school graduation is right after. ;D

Nice mailbox Larry C . . In my county in minnesota we got free mailbox posts and they took our old ones away so now I have a new swinging steel post and they put my old rusted box back on . I had a 20 inch norway buried for a post so it must have been too dangerous on the 55 mph road if someone collided with it . Thanks again for showing the pictures of your tree planting machine , I bought a auger type for a battery drill on ebay tonight and am going to drill holes in a plowed furrow like Chet talked about . It would have been a nice trip down to your place .

Put me down for April 24th, our mail box is on our land so we can put anything we want for a post. I boxed the heart on a white oak that was pretty gnarly. Should still be there long after I'm gone. Not dead just moved to Beaver Lake. Come on over Larry we'll go striper fishin.

Yah, we gotta have them breakaway posts too, but nobody said the mailbox couldn't be made out of diamond plate. That sure limits the mailbox busting fun.  8)
