I had a car crash through my front yard. Right after I got that mess fixed, someone ran into my mailbox. The mailbox survived, the mailbox post did not. Unfortunately, I did not know the mailbox post had rebar in the concrete. I was able to remove my mailbox post, eventually. My neighbors have had to replace their mailbox almost every other year. I spent about $600 on my mailbox and post. The post is a surface mount. The mailbox is made of 1/4" steel. I want it to be secure. I also live in a high crime neighborhood. I'm interested in coming up with a way to protect my mailbox from another collision. I also want to make sure it is not stolen. Any ideas? Thank you. -JJ PS First picture is my mailbox after being hit, the 2nd picture is the post I will mount my mailbox on.

I have ceramic tile counter tops in my back around the BBQ. The tiles are really dull now and the grout seems to be getting a little "sandy"... Can anybody recommend some kind of sealer / cleaner I can put on to bring it back to life? Really the color of the grout I'm ok with. We've been in the house now for close to 6 years now and nothing has been done to maintain the tile and the SoCal sun beats it all day. I did a brief bit of research and thought a process could be: - Make a mild bleach mixture and lightly clean the counters / grout, I saw some guy using acid mixture too but I think that's a bit much for my needs - how long do I need to let this dry? - Get a sealer with a wheel and run thru all the lines - Not sure what do do about cleaning and bringing the color back to the tile though. Their not real dirty, just light in color.
