Dear James: My mailbox and post are old, look bad, and have been hit a couple of times with bats. Do you have any tips for selecting and installing a new, secure one?—Chad R.
Dear Chad: It can be quite confusing when you see the extensive variety of designs and prices in the mailbox aisle at the home center store. Solid black, white, or silver are the most common colors, but you will also find some unique styles and designs available. Local craft stores also sell more decorative styles of mailboxes.
