Mailboxes
Construction on the house has completed. Everything is done with the exception of, get this, the mailbox. The owners of the house are asking for unique mailboxes and have suggested we look at victorian mailboxes to see if we can find them anything they like. I have never had a project where mailboxes etc were such an important issue. But, I suppose, after spending so much money on building a house the details become very important in turning that house into a home. From what the owner told me, the mailbox is the first thing that is in view of any house as you drive up to it. As such the mailbox IS what will give the first impression to someone. This is why it is so important to him.
In any case, we looked around for a mailbox that he would like but were hard pressed to find anything that was to his liking. This is when we decided to custom build a mailbox. We looked around everywhere for mailbox parts and found alot to work with. We disregarded no detail, and we were able to build a mailbox that was really something that made a statement. Attention was given to every bit of detail, right down to the flags for mailboxes. I guess in the end, details do really make the difference.
