idk it kind of looks like he hit himself in the head with it pretty good during the fall. It’s obscured behind one of the housing posts but you can still kind of see based on how the railing and his head/upper body moves.
Probably rusted out. Sometimes some top rails are carelessly welded which leaves a gap where it attaches to the square tube. In time, water accumulates inside the tube and pools on the bottom, rusting away from the inside out. To the naked eye it might just look like fine since it’s covered by 17 coats of paint, but structurally it’s just corn flakes.
SOURCE: Grew up in the Caribbean and Louisiana. First salt (Caribbean) then rain & half-assed everything (Louisiana).
Is that normal to have the mailbox attached to the railing like that? Where I live they’re always attached to the side of the house next to the door unless there’s a free standing box out by the curb
Varies. It is kind of nice to the mail carrier who doesn’t have to walk up those steps and can deliver to the house that much easier. It would be a walking route, so I would bet the carrier would appreciate it if everybody had their mail box that conveniently located and avoiding slippery steps.
