Yesterday afternoon, Dave was dissatisfied. He thought the old beat-up mailbox spoiled the perfection of his artwork. So he went to Walmart and bought a spiffy new metal box and installed it. All this was surprisingly inexpensive: $14 for the mailbox, plus all the stuff he had on hand, and I paid him what I regularly pay him for a day's work. As long as the City of Valor doesn't bill me for a permit to replace a mailbox.

Surprising how good a new mailbox makes you feel. My neighbor’s mother helped me install a new one a few years ago. It’s still looking okay, but i really want a red one.
Several years ago, I ordered one of those stone mailboxes where you take the mail out of the back of the box, and it never gets wet. It never arrived, and one day soon after that I was driving up that street that goes to the Cement plant, and in front of a house on the right side of the street stood what I am sure was my mailbox. Luckily, I got my money back, but was left with the cars and motor bikes tearing up my mailbox periodically.
Glad you got your money back.
