Title: Fun but work Post by: Spanky on November 01, 2008, 03:38:23 PM Had to install a new mailbox today. The old one was a brick one and the metal mailbox rusted all to hell. So tearing down the old one was fun. Bashing with a hammer and sledge. Once we got it all broken down I looked over at the large pile of bricks.
Damn. What to do with that big pile. Well anyway, mission accomplished. New box is up, old one is mostly cleaned up. And I lost about 10 pounds of sweat. Title: Re: Fun but work Post by: Fuzzy on November 01, 2008, 04:53:57 PM Tearing down is always the best part! [sm_thumbsup2]

Soon after, they were also the first to put up "No Junk Mail" signs on their mail boxes |
