    Default fence and letterbox

    I had some time on my hands so the wife set me some tasks .
    She wanted the front brick fence extended .Im not a brickie so I used 150x50mm white cypress uprights and merbau 65x12mm slats.
    the letterbox was made with some offcuts of jarrah decking and I used pockethole joinery.
    Finished in Preschem exterior clear oil finish.

    Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
    bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

    See there's your first mistake. Never, ever ever let the wife know that you have time on your hands.

    The fence looks fantastic and the mailbox isn't too bad either
    Great job.

    It looks good with the cypress uprights being visible from the street elevation. If you have some more time on your hands a coat of render over the brickwork and a coat of paint and you will have the bottom looking as good as the top in no time

    By geez, Great looking job, but by the size of the letterbox you are obviously expecting some large parcels from the tool suppliers!
