That is one sharp-looking piece of masonry.

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

Thanks for the kind words. Let me know if you have any questions. I am excited to share and help others. When I built this, there wasn't much out there explaining so I decided to share

[@AStanton1966]

@@DIYinspiredLewisBrantnerI would of liked to see how you hooked up the light inside of the glass block and also if you incorporated that outlet?

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

@@AStanton1966 It was really easy, I removed my old outside pole light and sliced the wire to it and ran to the new mailbox. I ran the wire to a outlet. Then I took a round ceramic light with a plug and inserted it into the outlet. I did it that way I could change the light socket rather easily plus, if my wife wanted to install christmas lights around the column, she could plug them in

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

@@AStanton1966 go to this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4LRoY2QbqdobcU and you will see the outlet

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

I want to publish a 4th video of me landscaping around the mailbox but didn't get that done yet. Also, I have many questions about the light which I should do another video of just that part, thanks for the questions so I can improve

Muy bueno👍

[@joedavitt3589]

Gorgeous…but how do you access the light?

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

With another person, I lift off the cap. I am getting ready to do it this week. The bulb blew and I need to change it

[@jllleesport5376]

Great video, where did you get the glass block?

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

That is a great question. I should put a link in the description. Let me get back to you

What kind of light did you add inside the glass block & how did you hide/secure the outlet?

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

I wired in an outlet to plug in a light that I have setting in the center

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

Nothing fancy

[@dustinfigueroa1205]

@@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner I mean was it just a light bulb?

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

@@dustinfigueroa1205 look for my other video, it shows it. I installed a light socket with a regular bulb

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]

Did you see this video? Its the last in the series

[@drew4608]

[@drew4608]

[@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner]
