I had to hire a brick layer to take apart the top of the brick structure just to get the old metal mail box out. It was not built to be easily replaced. I cut the back of the metal mailbox off and then we placed the new mailbox in place and used caulk to seal up the cut. He had to rebuild mailbox top.
Finding a brick layer to do a little job is a pain. The kid came back and I gave him the bill, and he paid me back with check #0100. His mom opened an checking account just for him to write checks. It was the first check he ever wrote. At least his parents taught him to take responsibility for his actions. I shook his hand and told him I appreciate his honesty.

Great story!
I would call the manager and remind him. Keep calling until they agree to the $50 pizza voucher. Then let it go.
