Mailbox Update

Latch problems are ongoing. If you have latch problems, please let us know so that we can do the repair. Don’t try to correct them by using glue or epoxy because this usually only works for a time and then the repair is more complicated. Temporarily, you can place a rubber band around the door handle and the red flag. Also, please avoid slamming the door closed. This may damage the latch and magnet mechanism.

Note: From June 2-June 22 contact Troy Of Web’s Lawn Care at 927-5087 for mailbox problems.
