Mailbox repair (TN style)

[Mike CHS]

This is a senseless post - this mailbox is just down the road from us and the mailbox has been leaning so much that I'm not sure how the carrier managed to get mail to stay in. They added this support post (better known as a crutch) to hold it level.

The owner passed a couple of years ago and the house is going to seed along with the blind mare that has the run of the property. This was done several months ago so it appears to be a fair fix.

Nice! You gotta see ours though. XD First my dad's dad ran it over then my mother did. I don't think you can call it a "Mailbox" anymore.

What?? No DUCT TAPE?

Or baling twine...apparently a crutch takes the place of both!

Don't laugh, I have two crutches like that......now I know they are in fact, very valuable repair kits!

Wonder what I could do with a potty chair??
