That hinge that&#8217;s always acting up had caught on my hand and as I lifted out the mail the whole box came away attached to my hand and the mail I was trying to pull out of it.<\/p>\n<p>No more of this! It&#8217;s time to get a new mailbox.<\/p>\n<p>I took a look at the various mailboxes at Mailboxixchange and I was pleased with their selection.  Our current, broken, mailbox came with our house so I&#8217;ve never really shopped for a mailbox.<\/p>\n<p>Mailboxixchange carries the full line of Whitehall Mailboxes.  Within that line of mailboxes you can choose from Personalized Mailboxes if you&#8217;d like.  You know, ones with your monogram, your house number or even your house number and street name on them.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>We live on a street with a long name so if we decided to purchase one of their Custom Mailboxes I think I&#8217;d just get our house number on it.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the variety of styles that they have to choose from I also like that Whitehall mailboxes are cast from recycled die cast rust free aluminum. The metal is poured into a mold and then undergoes a substantial amount of pressure.  This means that the mailboxes are lightweight yet made out of extremely dense metal that will withstand years of use.<\/p>\n<p>Our current mailbox is a wallmount mailbox inside our enclosed porch. It&#8217;s very convenient to collect our mail &#8211; especially during the winter months.  I might however, take a look at post mounted mailboxes.  I&#8217;ve always liked the look of that type of mailbox and a post mounted mailbox might look nice.  I&#8217;ll have to think about it.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>If you&#8217;re looking for a new mailbox take a look at the selection at Mailboxixchange.<\/p>\n<div class=\"912745ff53504cd4aef8ff3ef7b9aa95\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/> <br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* gardengrows_underpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0957462354\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\r\n\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_width = 468;\r\nch_height = 250;\r\nch_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_title = \"FF9B00\";\r\nch_color_text = \"333333\";\r\nch_non_contextual = 4;\r\nch_vertical =\"premium\";\r\nch_sid = \"gardengrows_betweenposts\";\r\nvar ch_queries = new Array( );\r\nvar ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\r\nif ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\r\nch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\r\n}\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n<script  src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/><\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned a few times over the last year that I need to get a new mailbox for our house, but yesterday it became clear that I&#8217;ve got to replace it soon, preferably this month.
