sooo... our mailman hates us. i come home from spain, and i guess alinna was gone that weekend, so i'm not sure when it happened, but he's holding our mail hostage.



why, you ask? well our mailbox is nailed in two places to these pieces of wood - one nail near the front and one nail near the back. apparently the wood in the back is rotting, so the back nail popped out - so our mailbox is teetering back and forth on the front nail. it's not like the mailbox fell off, but it is a little unsecure since that back nail won't stay down. our mailman apparently finds that unacceptable so instead of our mail, he delivered the above note. (side note: are they allowed to do that?!)

my dad, our landlord, is out of the country so the only way for us to get our mail again was to fix the problem ourselves. so jenie and i, being the resourceful people we are, fixed the problem in a jiffy!







the solution? duct tape! guys should be proud of us. the mailbox is now fully secured, no more teetering, and hopefully we can get our mail again!
