Went for a little walk around the neightborhood this evening and came across this neat Christmas Reindeer mailbox thingy. Nicely done!
Photo-a-Day

Year 2, Day 360
[Total Consecutive Days: 725]
I decided to come up with my own mailbox design. The mailbox length is 19” and the width is 11”. The duck and the mailbox roof are ¼” steel plates. The rest of the mailbox is 3/16” steel plate. It was painted using OneShot paint.
Checking mailbox. No Photoshop used! (Yes, it was tricky)

Kind of a charming idea, giving people some inspiration on what they might do around their mailbox...
