We went to the Totem Pole letterbox today and the box is all cracked and broken. I wanted to fix it but did not bring a box with me. I did not put the box right behind the tree but on the side of the tree that was done in back of it. I covered it with bark and sticks. The hole was filled with water. I just wanted to post this so the box could be fixed. Wish I could of fixed it for you. Teach & Preach
