I didn't know this was going to be a twerking video! LOL! Instead of using a destructive pry bar to get the metal mailbox out of the brick column, I would have used a RotoZip tool with a metal cutting wheel and maybe an oscillating tool (like Fein) with the metal cutting blade inside the mailbox, cutting the mailbox in several places to remove the metal mailbox from the column in sections. Before inserting the new mailbox into the column, I would look for a few good anchor points to secure the mailbox with concrete anchor screws. I would then cut-off the wider section at the very back of the new mailbox to permit sliding it into the existing hole without having to chip away any of the mortar. Once the mailbox was sitting inside the column loosely, mark where to drill holes for stainless steel screws. Slide-out the mailbox, drill the screw holes into the mailbox, slide it back in and transfer the location of the holes with a Sharpie marker. Slide-out the mailbox, use an angle drill, if necessary, and drill your holes into the mortar for the screw anchors. Insert the screw anchors into the mortar, slide the mailbox in and secure it with the stainless steel screws. There should be very little--if any--repair work left to do on the mortar. You can optionally fabricate a back onto the new mailbox if needed. Your finished product looks very good, btw.

Would be nice if he had the camera on the other side so we could see what he is doing.

Nice video. The only thing I'll do differently from you is removing the flag.

It is a matter of approaches, my clients always ask me to put the flag on them.

@@josemourinho8394 why not suggest a separate flag that you secure onto the brick.

@Jacob Sorensen 20 years ago that was done, since I found a way to make the one that brings the mailbox work, I liked it and the clients too and it didn't cost extra.
