Temporary Mailbox

I went out to the property with Kate and Scott. We put in a temporary mailbox so we could use 3400 Windy Harbor as our forwarding address when we move out in a few weeks.

I pulled out the old rock pick that I purchased back at the old house. Bob and I thought we didn't need a jackhammer and could manually did post holes when we were adding a fence to close in the backyard. Big mistake... Even in our youth we were thoroughly whipped digging just 4 holes!

This time it was only one hole. I worked the pick and Kate cleared the dirt and broken rock out of the hole. We got it down about a foot through the rock. As you can see we piled some dirt around it to make it a little more secure.

Framing begins tomorrow!
