Casanova Construction. Posts are set in concrete, boxes and roof today -- painting tonight. Shingles tomorrow. |
Day Two, Neighborhood Mailbox Rebuild Project
Association Director Tom Story, whose timing has always been excellent, is in Florida during the mailbox reconstruction project this week. He phoned in from the beach:
"How are the residents getting their mail with the boxes taken down?" he wondered.
Contractors John and Eric had cleverly solved that problem with a temporary arrangement, by sawing off the posts and lashing the old boxes to some sawhorses. The mail lady delivered on time today, maintaining that easy postal smile throughout, only slightly inconvenienced.
Hurry home, Tom and Sandy, we should be shingled and painted by the time you're back... :)
(Tom, as we recall, is the one who negotiated the thrifty deal that includes volunteers doing all the painting.)
