extension-mailbox

An 4-foot-high L-or-T-shaped bracket of timber with a mailbox mounted at the "upper" end; you temporarily clamp it to your existing mailbox so that the "auxiliary" mailbox extends out over the piled-up snowbank; with this simple/inexpensive set-up, the mail-carrier can still reach your box from his vehicle, but the huge blades on the D.O.T.'s snowplows will simply pass underneath the box, allowing the trucks' drivers' to just plow right on through without worrying about damaging your box.

Constructing and installing an extension-mailbox assembly is simple 'n' easy, costs very little (all you need are two or three large C-clamps, an ordinary plastic/metal mailbox, a couple 2X4s, and a little hardware to cobble it all together; these ordinary/everday items can often be obtained for free or next-to-nothing if you "go scrounging" at da nearest metal-scrapyard and/or are good buddies wif da local junk-dealer), and eliminates mailbox-plowing costs and/or tons (literally!) of snow-shoveling. Why glumly shell out twenty or thirty bucks after each and every blizzard to have someone drive out to your home and plow away the snow from your curbside, just so that you can receive a few pieces of junk mail each week???

Mc Mailbox

When you put a McChicken from McDonald’s in someone’s mailbox with malicious intent. Originated from the idea of doing it to a person who a friend and I disliked.

“Hey man I totally Mc Mailboxed Connor the other night I wonder what his reaction was.”
