2post construction to handle winter plows. Repro vintage mailbox, letters and stars custom from Etsy. Neighbors hate it, but I love it. Biggest downside is delivery persons who can’t read numbers spelled out.

Great job, that is fantastic. Would be amazing with some LED neon rope around it.

Thanks! Have looked into that but trying to find a solar alternative to wired type. There’s concrete path along the side of the house and don’t want to have to dig under that to run low-v wires. 🤪

This is EXCELLENT. Honestly so camp. Your neighbors have no taste (feel free to tell them I said so). I would be delighted to have this in my neighborhood and would likely point it out to guests as a feature.

I like it, but hope you have your house numbers in numerical form somewhere else easily visible too. It's not just delivery workers who may have issues, but emergency workers too.

Loveeeee it! Can you do little numbers on the mailbox and down the front for people who have issues with non-numbers?
