The Letterbox

The letterbox, oh the lovely eyesore of a letterbox screwed to the outside of my house rusting away, leaving beautiful marks all over the wall and letting the rain in so that all my letters are nice and wet...

As you can see, not a very attractive feature...
So off it had to come and in with a REAL letter box! The screws were too stubborn though and we had to yank it off... And what was underneath was not a pretty sight...

Gorgeous!
This lovely mess was then scrubbed and painted to look a bit neater.

To put the letterbox in I had to make a hole in the door. Brave! or stupid? Either way, the drill and the jigsaw came out, the whole was made, and the letterbox was put in! Hey presto no more ugly letterbox and no more wet mail! :)

One day I will give the door a new lick of paint. And the house...
