Letterboxes, House numbers & House names

When renovating your house and garden, don't forget the mail box. It has to be functional - easy for both you and the postal delivery service to get access to, able to take all your mail (includng junk mail and newspapers etc), lockable if necessary, weatherproof and durable.

More Information

House numbers are very important too. Make it large, and easy to see. Clean off overhanging vegetation, repaint it or get a new one. Maybe even more than one (one for the house and one for the fence). You may even want to think about getting an illuminated house number. Self-contained battery or solar powered illuminated house numbers avoid having to connect to a mains electricity supply. In an emergency, it may make all the difference!

Naming your house might not be as popular as it used to be, but why not? Then you can put it on a sign decorated with an appropriate theme. You'll find an "ideas generator" for property names on a tropical theme here: Name your Tropilocus.
