Justin Hernandez Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 It seems like everyday I come home to find an unexpected repair. Someone ran over my mailbox and stood it back up like no one will notice. My luck needs to change, things have been breaking non stop around the house. 2016 needs to end already..lol Time for a steel pole and 160 pounds of concrete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Sorry to hear that Justin. For your next one use reinforced concrete with a decorative facade. Next time it happens will be the last time it happens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99_XC600 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 That reminds me of my older's brother solution from having his mailbox destroyed every year from the discharge of the snow plows that went up his street. He had his shop weld up a mailbox post using 4x4x1/2" square tubing and then a mail box was constructed of 3/8" steel plate, The post was then set in about 5' of concrete. I think the entire setup weighed in about 200 pounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well I was definitely off on that one! I figure if I have to rebuild my mailbox it's going to be armored to the hilt. That was the next brain surgeon that hits it will break both arms or loose a bumper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Wow that's too bad, hope you can repair without to big of a hassle. Tree trimming company came thru to clear branches away from power lines and managed to crush my mail box a little. Luckily they replaced it for us.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
