UPS Box Made Out Of Old Barbeque Gas Grill
When a UPS truck comes to our place, the driver doesn't even have to get out. Instead, he just drops the package into a box that we made out of an old barbeque gas grill. The driver raises a flag on the grill to let us know a package is waiting.
    We removed the shelves from the grill and replaced the original support pole with a 4-in. dia. metal tube that sets in the ground. To deliver a package, the driver just raises the grill's lid and drops the package inside. We also mounted a smaller box at a lower height for U.S. mail drivers, whose trucks are set lower to the ground.
    It's really handy. Drivers don't have to worry about dealing with our dogs, and we don't have to worry about packages left out in the rain. (Alan Shelbourn, 7570 û 288th St. N.E., Kingston, Wash. 98346 ph 360 297-3779; kshelb4647@aol.com)
