Leftovers Day 12 -- You've Got Mail!

This mail signal is meant to trigger a flag when the mailbox is opened.  You can then visually see if mail has come without hiking your 1/4 mile country driveway.

The flag is mounted under the catch on top of the mailbox and the flag is set with the trigger in front of the door.

When the door is opened, it trips the trigger and the flag pops up.

It works well and I was tempted to put it on our mailbox, but I was afraid our mail carrier would think it was some kind of IED.
