We don't want any disgruntled Postal employees... not 'round here!!

I will be meeting with the supervisor of my local post office around
noon Tuesday to discuss the mailbox.

Of the 6 homes in my cul 'de sac, mine has the only mailbox not
anchored. It sits atop a pier-block. So I want to mount the new one in
cement.

The thing IS... this is a B-I-G @$$ mailbox!! Really deep... And my
sidewalk goes right up to the curb, plus it's only maybe 30" wide.

The box is like 24" leaving... Lets see... carry the 9... Umm...
6-inches to walk past.

Hmmm... Not gonna do it...

Maybe I can put it in the dirt, past the sidewalk? Why don't I ask the
USPS...?
