Post it

After a century of good service it turns out my letterbox is too small for the modern letter.  Time to upgrade.

The apartment building has builders in who said they can do it for around 200 quid.  ... for a hole and six screws.... So cheapskate to the last I bought a new old box off the web and (after due pause) set to. 

After many years I finally discovered a use for the saw attachment to my sander, which proved really good at cutting the slot out.  A quick sand, a slap of paint, and all screwed up. Done.

...except I need a couple more brass screws... Two extra holes in the new model!
