My mailbox was damaged by the city snowplow this winter, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to repair it. Here are some photos of the damage: https://imgur.com/a/RoGpaEG
The post was originally set in concrete, and I’m unsure what the easiest method is to remove it (with typical homeowner equipment - I don't have anything fancy).
My initial plan was to dig out the existing concrete base, replace the wooden post, and set it again with fresh fast-setting concrete. If removing the old concrete block is too difficult, I’m considering installing the new mailbox slightly behind its current location instead (although it wouldn't look as nice).
