The scene: Semi-rural Michigan. Home of late night mailbox baseball.
We recently backed out of our driveway only to realize we had no mailbox AND no post. No one else down the road had been afflicted so it didn’t appear to be a round of shenanigans.
But with inches of snow covering frozen ground how does one re-post the post? The mail keeps coming and we had to appease the mail carrier. That’s where the wife got creative and resurrected an old Black and Decker Workmate.
If you don’t remember this beauty, it’s a bit like a saw horse on steroids. It’s also the perfect hight to anchor both our mailbox and newspaper box. With some rope and our finest blue tarp (to protect and disguise), we now have a non-government approved mail and newspaper receptacle! Now we wait for a good spring thaw in order to do it right.
We also hope that spring comes before some smart-acre has a folly with our blue tarp.
That’s why they make these.
