October 11: I Did It!

Well, my first ever attempt at replacing a mailbox was successful! It's up, it's stable, and it actually looks good! I was surprised at how easy the process was, but even more surprised at how patient I was. I didn't lose my temper once! Granted, I leveraged the old wood pole, just removing the arm and old mailbox. And, true, the assembly of the plastic combo was a piece of cake. But still, I'm proud of myself for being able to accomplish what I did. Now, I'm thinking, you know, I can probably put a new roof on the house myself. I'm kidding, that thought never once crossed my mind.
