How Do You Build A Brick Mail Box?
Mailboxes are important, but they are also decorative. A mailbox that matches your house can add character and value to your home. Take out the current mailbox if you have one. Remove the dirt that is around the post. Dig a hole for the footer. This should be at least 9 inches deep. The hole should be at least 3 inches wider than the mailbox will be. Lay the underground outdoor electrical cable where the mailbox is going to be. Allow slack for your cable to move. Take your premade cement mortar and mix it in your wheelbarrow. This should look like oatmeal when it is ready. Pour your mixture over the end of the electrical cable. Use the back of your shovel to smooth the concrete so that it is level. Fill the hole up completely. Wait for the cement to dry into hard concrete. While waiting for everything to dry, you can still continue working. Create a 12-inch-deep trench from your mailbox to the breaker box. Lay the cable cord into the trench. Connect the end of the cable to the breaker
