I'm thinkin' maybe we should try this again? . . . . and you kids should behave yourselves

[custom-classic]

you have a strange effect on people, Rossum.

Case in point, I just ordered the remote/wireless doorbell I've been thinking about over the last year or so (so I can hear the postman when I'm in the shop).

. . . . because of you.


(because your post reminded me at a moment when I could actually do something about it)

This also works....

Hello, C. I'm just putting out the first batch of 10. Here's where the PICS start.

WOW! Insert falling down and fainting emote here >>>>>> _____________ Amazing work P!

Here's a couple with some button/switches installed.

and the "uple"


(you can't have a couple without the uple)

Do tell...where did this pop up from?

This also works....

That's priceless there CC! Would even tell me when someone sends my Rubbermaid mailbox flying into the neighbors yard. Happens enough that I drove a piece of 2" rigid pipe in the ground with the threads right at grade level and use a 2" PVC female adapter with 2" PVC for the pole and a plumbing flange attached to the mailbox. Someone runs over it, I just unscrew or break off the PVC male adapter and replace it and sometimes the PVC pipe. Always got PVC and fittings since I am a small electrical contrator.

Perhaps if you used steel pipe the same person would never hit it twice.

Steel pipe filled with concrete, set in a couple of cubic feet of concrete in the ground.

Only a year to go.....

It works, I promise! Most of us around here have had to go that route and the smashing stopped.

Yes, but one of those persons is my wife!

Problem is its not vandalism, the ditch is steep enough that it will grab a tire and send one side of a car into it. About 10 years ago a lady that lived a couple blocks away caught it, went down the ditch, hit the next door neighbors drive, and sailed across the street into a utility pole. She was elderly and never left the hospital.

Fluorescent paint.

She too can be trained.

Ironically enough it was winter and the street (which is on a pretty good angle) was snow covered and she was pulling up to get the mail. Car slid off and took out the mailbox. Took several of us neighbors to push it out of the ditch.

 

[Alexander Mundy]

The most ironical was when the mailman did it. Bet he got a ration of it from his coworkers.

Sounds like you need to move it closer to the street. Our mailman will make us move it if it gets too far back into the ditch. They move some here with the sandy loam.

Front of the box is even with the edge of the street. The street slopes toward the ditch and is also on a downhill slope. Throw some snow and ice on it and it isn't difficult to slide off.

If you look close you can see that the next door neighbor just has theirs sitting in a cinder block with 2X4 tripod holding it up. lol

was going to mention. Looks like they're taking the "add a stick" approach.

guy across the street tho . . . . .

looks like he's got some serious lumber under his . . .. can't even see the top of it.

 

[supertrunker]

i can see how such a difficult and twisty, treacherous piece of road like that would require a skilled driver to negotiate. Not for the narcoleptic.
