Eric made a letterbox back in year 10 (sec 4) during wood work class. Since then, it had been serving as the mailbox at the house we are staying at.
And finally, it was declared retired, and it was replaced by a more efficient letterbox.
Why did we take it down?
The width of the mailbox is too short. The door is not able to shut fully. It is held shut by the Velcro tape! So many a times, letters will get stuffed in at one end n it pushed the back door open n fall out from the other end. The letters ended up on the ground, get wet in the rain or get bulldozed by the hungry snails, leaving stains or holes on the letters.
One last shot of the humble letterbox, designed n made by Eric.
It even has moss growing on the top!
The bar was too short, so Eric had to use cable ties to secure it on the fence. It looks like our new mailbox is floating...
