DIY Mailbox from the Habitat ReStore

Habitat for Humanity Santa Barbara loves receiving photos of Do-It-Yourself projects made from materials found at the ReStore. The ReStore is part of Habitat's overall "green" initiative and we're thrilled that people look to the ReStore as a source before buying brand new products. 

Today we received photos from a DIY mailbox project. 85% of the materials and tools used on this mailbox came from the ReStore, 14% came from reclaimed materials from the house itself and 1% was purchased new for the project itself (only glue). Now that's a ratio that we love to hear.

Enjoy the photo collage. Click on the photo to make it larger.
