We woke up this morning to find that the road crews who have been working diligently to add a narrow shoulder to the road that runs in front of our house (Concord Church Road) had reached our block.  We also found that our mailbox, as well as some of our neighbors’ mailboxes, were in the way so they were removed.  That’s our mailbox in the foreground of the picture to the left.  I don’t have any complaints about the removal, yet, since they didn’t break it, yet, but they could have let us know they needed it removed and given us the option of doing it ourselves.

It’ll be interesting to see if they re-plant it, and even if they do I doubt they’ll give it a concrete footer like we had before.  They’ll likely just stick it in the ground which means that if we don’t add the concrete ourselves it’ll literally tilt over in a stiff wind.  Ack.
