MAILBOX I USED:
https://amzn.to/3qaTqJ7
Build yourself this gorgeous Mid Century Modern inspired mailbox. Bring style and curb-appeal to your home. Get rid of that beat up old mailbox that is hideous, leaning over and about to fall over. And with these instructions, you don't have to pay a professional build it. You will be able to build it yourself in 2-3 days for a fraction of the cost. With the help from these instructions (and a little gusto), you'll be able to tackle this DIY job like hundreds of others before you have already.
This mailbox design is truly one-of-a-kind. It's a mix of traditional and modern, with a warm cozy vibe to it. It definitely has a Mid-Century Modern feel, but can work with any style or look of home (Craftsman, Cottage, Colonial, Mediterranean, Ranch, Contemporary, etc), Simply put, it's just %@?ing cool. And no one in your neighborhood will have a mailbox like it. But everyone will want it.
There is page after page of detailed written instructions that explain every detail of the build (measurements, materials, where to get things, quantities, the steps to get it done, the reasons why I did things, and more). And for the people that hate to read but understand pictures/visuals better, I've got you covered. There are over 50 photos that visually show you what you need to do. This is my most detailed and easy-to-follow set of instructions yet. You literally can't get lost.
Also, you don't have to be a super handy person to build this. That being said, if you are a true novice, you do need to be willing to take the challenge. But don't be scared... if you can handle a drill, hammer, and a saw of any kind, you'll reach the finish line on this project with a smile and sense of pride. I take the thinking out of it for you and save you numerous trips to the hardware store. The mailbox instructions walk you through EVERY step you need to take to get it done right. And if you are a handy person, you can probably understand the entire build by looking at just a few of the detailed diagrams/illustrations that are included in your purchase.
WHAT YOU GET... you will receive 4 different files:
(1) professional DIAGRAMS that visually show you the mailbox, sizes, pieces, details and measurements.
(2) a DETAILED list of TOOLS & MATERIALS you'll need. Photos of them. Measurements. Quantities. And where to get them. (yes, the metal mailbox too.) This document also has a SIMPLIFIED 'Shopping LIST' of the tools you'll need and all the materials (with quantities/sizes) you'll need to get the job done.
(3) STEP-BY-STEP instructions on HOW to build the entire mailbox structure from the ground up. With photos and diagrams that walk you through it every step of the way. Explanations. Measurements. Pro tips. And more.
(4) LARGE PHOTOS to easier see the details and not have all the detailed verbiage around them that may distract or overwhelm some people.
(essentially, it's all photos from file 2 and 3 above. But larger and clearer.)
*FYI, approximate total COSTS of the build:
- The lumber and posts could cost you around $70-130. It depends on what you already have and the type of material(s) you purchase.
- The mailbox I purchased was about $120. It's one of the best mailboxes out there. It is really the best one for this design. Durable, water-tight, and modern. *The instructions also include where to get the mailbox.
*The instructions also include where to get the mailbox.
- For all other materials: concrete (optional), screws, numbers, stain/paint, sandpaper, etc, you are looking at spending another $80-$180. It depends on what tools/items you may already have at home.
Happy building everyone. You can do this!
* Unfortunately, I do not offer refunds or accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations.
REASON: once the files are sent, it is impossible to ‘return’ or cancel a digital order... because the files are automatically sent upon clicking the purchase button. Which makes it impossible to stop the digital ‘delivery’ process. I hope you understand.
