I would add some gravel on the bottom for better drainage.

Dang 2.50 for a bag..... Inflation sucks. In only 8 years its already more than 2x the price

1:40 put a little what down there???

Not mixing your concrete with water before poring it in is a bad idea. It'll be brittle and won't last as long. No matter how long you let it soak, it'll never be 1/10 as good as mixed. Using dry is bearly better than just using plain dirt.

How about showing us how you did the screws to hold the mailbox>?

No more than 45 inches tall including the actual mailbox.

Need small bag of concrete and a shovel

Height called for 41-45 inches, so i could only dig 18 inches to meet height for post i bought, hopefully it holds 😢

I think last one I did I stuck it in the ground with no concrete and called it a day

Why do you say "ceement" 🤔🤣

Pretty leveled is good enough 😊

You sound thrilled about having to do this project 🤣

Ok, do.you pour the Quickcrete in dry and pour water on top? What's the best way to install the actual box with what specs?

Thanks Chris! Im torn! Not sure to use conventual way of concrete or the new steel anchors & plastic

Whoa whoa whoa, front of the mail box 6" away from the road there buddy 45" max height, usps rules not mine

U can get a couple of hundred bucks for that big Sago palm

Thank You, looks easy enough!!!

Lol cracked me up... "its pretty level.....close enough for me" lol ... love it

Quickly as in you cut and edit all the time consuming parts out.

Should be 41-45” from curb level.

* SNIIFFFF *

So easy, even a female can do it!!!! 📫 Step 1 - Find this video Step 2 - Forward this video to bae ... tell said bae that he's sleeping on couch until mailbox is installed Step 3 - Profit!

EXACTLY HOW DID YOU GET THE ROTTED WOOD OUT OF THE GROUND TO INSTALL THE NEW POST?

Thank you sir.

Great to see it. I did it too. The plans from Woodglut helped me a lot :)

There is no need to add water in the hole, it will still set up and be stronger.

Wow, sounds like even stoners can do it.

Dude lay off snorting the coke

Excellent

Danks all fine..accipicchia jim chiedere immobili..

Good video, but a tip would be to stop sniffing. Breathe through your mouth.

There are many similar projects in Stodoys plans's plans.

Good stuff made thanks

But dude, speaking as a rural carrier, don't ever buy that mailbox. Get a plastic one (eventually the door on a metal one will become difficult to close), and oversized. With e-commerce, you want at least a modest size box to fit in there. People who don't have a porch or other covering will have a box sit on their front porch or driveway and possibly get rained on later in the day before you get home (the PO does not supply bags for the carriers).

You didn't actually show yourself, well, doing anything. But right on...

Why would you put another wood post when the first one rotted out??

Is it illegal to put misleading numbers on your mailbox?

Didn't show the box being attached to the bottom beam. The only reason I clicked on this!

I'm sure you can find awesome woodworking plans on woodprix

Is that made out of Cedar?

How come none of these videos show you how to mount the actual fucking mailbox? I cant find that anywhere on youtube. You basically showed me how to put a stick in the ground. Thanks alot.

This might be a good video? I’ll never know as I got vertigo trying to watch it! Get a new camera person!

Useless video.

You used the level wrong... Should use it vertically to make sure it is square and plumb.. You then secure the bracing at the post down to a stake to hold it once square and plumb.... Your braces may have helped keep it square but not both square and plumb.. It is also advised to make the hole 3 times the diameter of the post to ensure enough of a concrete base.

How much would you charge for installation with your labor and the materials

mailbox 6 to 8 inches from the curb. The post office recommends 40 inches hight.

Thanks, GREAT VIDEO

The way your saying "it's no big deal" at the end made me immediately think my neighbors must think as I'm on year two with a mail box that sloped sideways. "Fix yer shit Walt!! It's no big deal! Would take you 45 minutes tops you lazy bastard!" lmfao Next paycheck I swear lol

it is convenient to use plastic wedges for alignment, they do not rot and securely fix the post www.amazon.com/Plastic-Wedge-Flooring-Spacers-Universal/dp/B073S7Y32S?ref_=bl_dp_s_web_17346724011

Installed a new post for my grandma, used this video for help. She bought me dinner afterwards for how good it looked, appreciate the free dinner 😂
