New Mailbox - May 2007
5/31/2007 10:30:00 AM
I'm told that it took me more than a year to build the San Jose mailbox so I had to hustle to complete the Santa Barbara one in less time. It came out very well, at least until the first rain of the season.
Slideshow: New Mailbox Our old mail box came with the house purchase. It reminded me of mailboxes in New England and Eastern Pennsylvania. Not very appropriate for a Mediterranean style house in Santa Barbara.

After about 9 months of inconsistent labor we are pleased to announce the installation of our new mailbox. Yes, it is very large. Maybe big enough for most packages. And yes again, it look like a certain house.

The pictures start with the old mailbox in it's old location, then the new mailbox location, the mailbox under construction, various views after it is installed (note the energy saving clear back wall - we can see from the kitchen if there is mail or not.

Finally you can see the launching ceremony.

See if you can guess the name of the Beatle's tune in the background.
