Yet another mailbox thread...or is this a first?

Anyhow, we got a notice in our mailbox today saying that we have to lower it by 10-12 inches. Lower it? Huh? What a DUMB thing. The builders put it in and we never realized that it had to be at a particular height before...

Is the thing in cememt? How does one lower a mailbox? Bash it down with a rubber mallet or what? It is a really pretty black thing....I don't wanna have to rip everything up because our mailman has short arms...mailwoman...whatever!

Why don't you get off your ass, get a shovel, and go find out?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You might want to call up the city and ask them the guidelines/rules regarding mailbox height, because if it's one of those bricked mailboxes, I'm sure the contractor knew the guidelines.

the correct non biased term is mail carrier.
Sorry, my first composition 1 paper had a redline through mailman.

Sounds like a saw and/or dynamite may be involved.
