One thing this person overlooked in this installation is the mailbox itself! I recently installed this SAME mailbox and found that there are gaps in the back panel which WILL allow water to enter! In the video you can see daylight by looking into the mailbox. I used "polyurethane" sealant on the INSIDE to correct what the factory failed to do. I also installed some very thin "3M" foam strip around the inside perimeter of the door, another potential leakage area. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this installation! I did mine with an "Architectural" slip over plastic cover on a 4X4 timber, installation came out quite solid. My house is several levels BELOW the author's and to do what he did would be OVER KILL in my situation!!! Thank you for uploading this video. CHEERS!!

Nice video. Just a little advice from a viewer, if you take those: maybe make a video just as a report of what you're doing, instead of this tutorial style, "do it like this, then do this". Because this is too specific of a project for anybody to really use it as a tutorial to follow step-by-step. So it sounds a bit weird. Other then that, I like it.

@@FixItFrench No, I think I was pretty clear. I just proposed for him not to speak as if it's a tutorial. "Do this, then do that". Because it's a very specific build, than nobody is going to recreate, step by step. So it would just make more sense to make a video as a report of one's actions. "So then I did this, and I did this". This way, as it is now, it sounds awkward, because, again, it's talking to the audience as if it's a tutorial, how to do this very specific thing.
