Maybe today or tomorrow I can get the double street lights installed in the medians of the 2 state highways that come into town... May even be able to extend the 3V buss line from the end of Lucky Penny Yard over to light them ! .
Test fit. The height of the double lights are roughly 3 inches...or 40'. Right in the range of real street lights. .
I figured out how to drill rectangular holes...LOL So I now have 8 of them test fitted in the holes I drilled...5 here and 3 on the other median... THE CFO wanted 2 of these lights in THE Church parking lot and I aint argueing with the CFO... I also have one temp wired to the 3V buss. I will go out when the sun goes down and get a nightime shot of that one...

No, not one, all of them...before gluing them down and then finding out one (or however many) doesn't light. Don't ask me now I know.
George, I always knew you were a wise man in never arguing with the CFO. Looking great George. Man if you stood over the layout to do all those stripes, no darned wonder your knee hurts. take care. Be well, Carl
Thnxs Carl.... Yea...the leaning over the layout for hours did my knees in.... The results do make me smile through the pain though....
Your getting it figured out. The layout looks great George. At least you are getting to do the fun stuff.
Where I live the post has to be break-away... it says nothing about the fortitude of the mail box itself. I guess it is assumed that they would be the typical off the shelf variety. Well that being said my friend's neighbor got tired of his mailbox getting smashed as his was the first one on the post of about 10. He normally has one of the really big ones to fit all his wife's QVC purchases. After getting about 7 or 8 boxes smashed and the police being totally useless in the matter, he bought another large box, and then a standard box and a bad of quick-crete... see where this is going? He cut the door off the small one, filled the large one with the concrete and submerged the little one in the middle. A few hours later after the concrete set up good and hard we mounted it on the posts... that mother was heavy! It only took about an hour after we got it mounted when we heard the tell-tale sound of the truck that usually smashes them. We also heard a loud BANG and a bit of a shocked painful cry too. About 30 minutes later we hear an ambulance go down the road. We investigate and find a bent aluminum bat next to the slightly dinged new mailbox. This time the police had evidence and a suspect that they could lean on. The kids involved ended up owing Bill about $250 in smashed mailboxes, or the police threatened getting the USPS involved as it would become a federal issue after that... yea they paid. The kid that was swinging the bat had broken his hand so badly that he had to learn how to write with his left hand (easy for me ) and was unable to play guitar again. oh well...
