The mail box

Cutting the galvanize pipe

My mother has been begging me to put up a mail box for her.

The original mailbox was rusted at the base ad fell over.

So it’s go time gain on the mailbox DIYS project

I used a piece of galvanize pipe 2 inched in diameter and cut it 4 ft in length.

Then I placed crabs at the base of the pipe. My intention is to plant the pipe 1 foot in the ground which leaves 3 ft remaining.

Welding crabs

After that I used a piece of angle iron and welded it to the top of the pipe. This was don’t for two reasons.

1 – The angle iron will be the base where the mail box will be fixed upon

2- The angle iron is approximately 2 inches in diameter. This is to prevent water from easily getting inside of the galvanize pipe and overtime cause corrosion
