seriously?

Well, today gave us another "to do" on our list of home improvements...thanks to our garbage men! Take a close look- the mailbox is now cracked and split and about to crumble no thanks to the garbage truck that services our neighborhood.

Our neighbors across the street had something that they needed to back up to take a look at and determine whether or not to load...so the guy throws the truck in reverse, all the while Brian is standing by his truck in the driveway, the front bumper tags the front side of our mailbox...and voila! He hears something crash, but doesn't realize what it is until they are gone. We tried to find the truck with the # on it to report them, but apparently they had already finished in our neighborhood.

We called the garbage co. ( who I will leave nameless at this point) and someone from the damage control depatrment is supposed to return our call early next week. Yes, I do expect them to pay for this....

All I gotta say is Brian heard it and Riley saw it because she was standing behind the glass front door. Too bad you can't rely on a 2.5 yr. old to give you an eyewitness acct.


Here's where thr front bumber tagged it....

and cracked it all the way through....

Thank you garbage men for cracking my already sinking and much needed to be improved mailbox!
