My very clever Mom came up with an ingenious way for us to collect our mail (which comes through a mail slot in our garage side door). We were trying to figure out a way to fashion a basket or a bag to catch the mail so that it wouldn't fall and spread out on our garage floor.
We had done a little research online and didn't find many options. One idea that we found was the Snail Sakk which was a nice, simple idea, but seemed pricey with its $30 + shipping price tag.
With that in mind, my Mom hunted for the perfect bag.
She settled on a plastic zippered pouch that was used to store linens.
She velcro-ed the top of the bag to the door (underneath the mail slot opening) using secure double-stick tape, then velro-ed the bag's flap above the slot.
The bag is clear, so I can easily see if the mail has been delivered, and all I have to do is un-velcro the bag's lid to retrieve it.
All for the cost of a couple strips of velcro!
Thanks, Mom! Works like a charm! :)
cool idea!
