What is the dimensions of the black mail box you used, its looks fairly wide
And how deep did you dig the hole, I assuming you made some sort of footer before placing the concrete blocks in.
Great job! And thanks for all the pics, looking forward to doing something very similar.

A : The dimensions are : 10.5″ W x 9″ H x 19″ D. The hole I dug was 40 ” deep. How deep you have to go depends on the frost line from where you live. I also used regular mortar bricks to bring it up to level. See picture.
