Well not quite but if there was an award for girls under 10 she would have been shortlisted. While Kingsley probably breached all occupational health and safety laws by wearing thongs she showed great woodwork skills in helping Ahubby rebuild the letterbox. The wooden catcher had rotted and was coming away from the brick wall. Fearlessly Ahubby went in and dismantled it only to discover it is actually quite difficult to find a galvanised replacement or for that matter a wooden one locally or even not so locally!
The only solution was to rebuild it. In a father- daughter bonding exercise they measured, planned, purchased, cut and hammered together a replacement letterbox and reattached it just in time for the mail delivery the next day.

For the record it only took about 30 minutes to rebuild and reattach the letter box (after 3 hours of running around looking for a replacement)
And where is the picture of the finished product?
