Want to Jazz up your mailbox? follow these simple instructions and you will find out how!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • Stones (your choice)
  • Mailbox
  • Newspaper Box
  • Cement
  • Cement scraper and base

Step1
Take the bricks and lay them out in the design you like.
Step2
Position the Mailbox and Newspaper box where you would like it in the structure.
Step3
Mix the cement and use the tools to bond the bricks together with the cement and then position everything to your content.
Step4
When the cement dries and you have your mailbox and newspaper box in place, you then will pour sand from the top going in which will protect you from people or kids persay trying to knock it over with a baseball bat or hammer. The sand will make it so the mailbox wont collapse in.
Step5
Place a piece of wood on the top of the structure to make it level with the sides and then pour cement over and smooth it so it looks great and then I would sit back, relax and enjoy!
