Victor, No need to get in a huff about this specific situation. I believe there is an easement along the boarder of all privately owned property witch utility companies and probably other companies have jurisdiction and you have to abide to regulations regarding management of that easement.
Power poll, sewer access, signs, water mains and many other things can be placed along your property and you have no say-so. This is just another instance fitting that situation. Take a chill-pill. <smile> ----- Original Message ----- From: Victor To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 2:04 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Mailbox Post I'm sorry, but no one is going to tell me where and how I'm going to put down my own property. I pay my taxes, and they get paid by my taxes to deliver the mail. They will deliver that mail to me no matter where they have to go. I feel it's my own prerogative whether I choose to make their lives easier by installing a curb side mail box or not. If I lived a mile down the road, they would be responsible for getting the mail to my home in the same condition as it left the sender's address, and so I'm doing them a favour by placing the mailbox in a more accessible location. From the way this policy is written, it's like they're doing me the favour by delivering my mail to me. Sorry folks, but this is North America, and that crap don't fly here.
