I built a device to catch the mail that comes through the slot in my front door. It had previously been falling on the floor and driving me crazy.

One day I came across this nice product, http://www.amazon.com/SNAIL-SAKK-Mail-Receptacle-Slots/dp/B0..., and it seemed more than possible to make my own. So, using a fabric shopping bag from a local store, some Velcro and a sewing kit I managed to put my own together in a couple of hours. It works great! :)




What happens if the stack overflows?


The "sack" holds quite a bit of mail, but the worst case scenario is that the mailman shoves the overflow stuff in there aggressively and the velcro gives way causing the mail to fall on the floor again like before.
