Excellent...you kept it real...how everyday people have to figure this out. Thanks for this video and thank you for not having an ego attack because you were in the video. People need to see people struggle with a project and you showed us how to make it through when it seem like a wall was hit.
Thanks for the video 😊. It was most helpful, I was born and raised in Texas where not only do they build the house but also set up the mailbox but my family and I live in Florida where the mailbox isn’t included when they build the house and this video was most helpful in helping me get the mailbox set up.
Thanks for this. Lots of video's for using a 4x4 post but nothing for the type of mailbox post you installed (and I'm about to). The comments have been very helpful too!
You wouldn't believe the hunt and the amount of Temu videos I had to skip to get to this video.😂 Thank you for making this video exist.❤🎉
Thank you for your video! I came outside this morning and somebody had smashed my mailbox. I was inspired by you doing this. Thank you!
Perfect timing! This is my project for the day.
I’m already fearing the rocks and roots.
Thank you! I asked my son to install our new mailbox and he just stuck it in the dirt. Now I can do it properly myself:)
I would’ve done it a little differently but that’s not important. I love the DIY families, I appreciate the work ethic, I’m doing the same thing this weekend and I hadn’t thought about rocks but now I’ll be prepared. Thinking about getting my wife out there with me now! Good vibes and good job. Checked out one more of your videos and subscribed.
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the video. Someone hit my mailbox and now the mailman won’t deliver my mail. So your video will help with my project today. Thanks for the on-site into the rocks and roots.
How can you dislike this video. I follow exactly what she did . And my mailbox came out perfect.
Great video I love to see when women do stuff like this just awesome great job by the way
Good job and great video. I'm glad you left in the parts on how you ran into trouble and how you worked around it, too many videos show just the smooth and easy no issues job.
Exactly!
I'm getting ready to put up my mail box. This video was very helpful. Thank you so very much for posting this ☺️
Thank you for your "Real world" video.
curious though, do you find the the concrete will not stick to the round pole? I'm kind of annoyed they have circular mailboxes, because square ones prevent spinning much better. I didn't even think about this when I bought it. My dad had the suggestion of running a bolt through it near the bottom before pouring the concrete over to give the concrete something to grip onto to prevent the circular post from spinning.
Anyway, I was just curious if you had this happen to your mailbox after installation, and if so if you did something similar to the above or not.
Thanks for your input and video!
I put a piece of wood against the pole because I was afraid that the pole would lean before the concrete set.
This was a Godsend. Thank you ladies
Thanks for the video. My mailbox has been held together with duck tape since the snow plow cracked the plastic post. I hope the job is as easy as you make it look.
Doing this tomorrow at my neighbors home...I ran over their mailbox 🤫
Oh wow. It was a fun project and the neighbors took a seat and watched 😂
I just did the same now I’m here watching this video.... lmao I’m just about to pay for some one to do it ..
How NICE of you! My neighbor (that just moved in a month ago) hit my mailbox and I haven’t heard from them since. The current in is a metal pole stuck into a HUGE block of concrete. Whoever installed it before did the laziest job ever. It’s going to be so hard just to get it out and then I’m not even sure how I’m going to install a new one 😭
Oh wow. The neighbor could at least help you install a new one.
I’m doing the exact same thing they got dESTROYED
That's a great idea to put dry concrete mix in the hole and add water. 👍
That's actually what the Quickrete red bag instructions say to do for posts. The trick is making sure the water gets to the bottom of the hole. Quickrete says to use about 1 gallon of water per 50 pound bag. The consistency should be like thick oatmeal. Excess water is absorbed by the ground during curing depending on how hard the dirt is.
That's what I wanted to comment about. Even though I thought it was resourceful and she put a lot of effort into it, I was concerned that it wouldn't get mixed enough, and that a couple years later there might therefore be weak spots in the concrete leading to a loose pole. Then water seeping into those spots and doing the freeze-thaw cycle would make it even worse.
But then I saw what RKGSD said about the Quickrete instructions. 🤔Well ok then!
Okay. I'm convinced. I'll hire somebody younger to do this, maybe my grandson. Clay in southern Michigan. Good instruction video.
Thanks ladies. Great video
Thank you for the video, I have to install a new mailbox post as our rotted out and snapped off.
Nice work, your video has been a help to me! Thank you 👏👏
Nails and all. Good job ladies.
Nice job, Great video!
Thanks for the video. I looked out my window this morning and it appears a car got into a fight with my mailbox. I went out and seen the tire tracks all in the snow. So it looks like I have a project to do once everything thaws out.
Nice. You make it look so easy.
It was easy and fun Debi 🤗
Great job 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Very well done ladies
So real! Thank you!
GREAT JOB!!
Great job and video but I’d never put it that close to the driveway. Just asking for someone to back into it, especially at night
Nice, I want a mount mailbox. How do you do this legally? Like do you inform the city and post office?
My street already had mailboxes on the street so I didn’t need any permissions to install it.
You did a great job....! Thanks.
This was very helpful Nita! Thank you!
Great realistic video! Good to know others run into unforeseen issues when tackling a job. You two make a great team and the end result looks perfect. Subscribed!
Uhh, one more thing--my mailbox is currently laying in the ditch. Do you guys think you..........LOL
Thank you 🤗
Yup. Gotta install a new one myself. Thanks
Excellent job guys!
Wow, that's great work.
Can I know how much is the mailbox you bought it and from where you got it?
I bought the same mailbox and it snapped at the juncture close to the bottom. On day 2.
Oh Wow 😮 mine is still standing. I do notice that the mail person sometimes jerks it really hard. Or the clasp on the door needed some oil so that I will open easier.
Thanks for making this. Please make sure you wear a mask wen working with concrete. Don't want that dust in your lungs.
Really nice job!!
Way to go!!!
Good job!!!
Great job, it looks really good!
Great effort and job!
Beautiful
Good job
Nice. Ty!
Nice thank you
Cute
Thank you
thank you!
Ya needa stap the post hole shovel into the ground a few times like a pick axe before ya scoop with it
Normally it's a full bag with 1 gallon
Great video though
Soak the ground overnight and it will be easier to dig.
Great idea 🤗
Um some water would have helped lol!
Did you call 811
Yes I did. Didn’t want to hit my utility wires 🤗
