Moveable Mailbox

Moveable Mailbox FARM HOME Miscellaneous 6-5-9 Elmer Flora's mailboxes move out of the way of big snowdrifts and road crews. Anchored in a round disc of concrete, the boxes never bend when a snowplow or farm implement hit them. They just fall over. Flora, of Sawyer, Kan., notes, however, that he's never had the wind knock one of the mailboxes over yet. Post office officials have approved the box design. "Mail carriers in particular like it because when snow drifts up along the road in winter, you can move the mailbox so that the mail carrier doesn't have to get out of his car," says Flora. Flora has two mailbox designs that sell for $17.50 and $19.50. Do-it-yourself plans are also available for both designs for $1.25 apiece.
