You've got mail!

Last night we arrived home to mail in our mail box! The little red flag was proudly aloft as we came up the street and it was hard to contain our excitement. It works!! It works!! And it was all the way from Merry Old England of all places!

We didn't even have a mailbox until Monday! I had to get clever with some 4x4 and quick setting concrete at the weekend. That was fun. They don't allow those types of things in condos, for good reason.

Behold my creation.....

Beautiful! And you had to ride your tractor all the way up to the end of your driveway...it's that long!
Well done. Looks sturdy and perpendicular.

Now you'll get your bills even faster...
Did you cut that 4 x 4 with a kitchen knife? The man owns a tractor but doesn't have one power tool.

Now I want a tractor damn it.

Nice job indeed. Congrats.
