You've got mail!!

Thought I would share a silly little thing I just installed on my mailbox. Having lived in this house for 27 years now, I have finally figured out how to tell when the mailman has come and left mail for us vs. walking 100 feet up a hill to check the box, a real pain in icy weather.
The "John" I am referring to in this video is my adult son who now lives out of state. When he was smaller, he was always the one we conned into trudging up the hill to check the box. He especially would appreciate the genius this represents.

Creative!

This looks good. Before I invent something I like to see if it has already been done.
How does this do in snow and ice?
Thanks!

I was thinking of the same thing I get tired of walking out to the box and nothing is there.

Glad to inspire you!!
