Mailbox, house number, outdoor lighting, ...

Hello,

we will soon move into our house, which does not yet have exterior plaster. This is not planned to be done until fall 2019 or spring 2020.

Nevertheless, we already need a mailbox, house number, and outdoor lighting by then.

What is the best way to do it?

I am thinking that when the exterior plaster is applied, everything will have to be dismantled again and the anchors will be plastered over.

Is it better, for example, to put a cheap freestanding mailbox as a provisional solution instead of anchoring an expensive one to the bare wall and painting the house number on it?
Or just buy what you want to have for a longer time?

Look at - ibs. #4 and #5 ...

That's only for the period until the final inspection, so presumably until shortly before moving in.

My question was rather about the period until the exterior plastering (in about 1 year). The house will already be inhabited by us then.

Freestanding mailbox, since the number is on it. Number, that can also be nicely done with a car sticker on the front door glass, that would then be something permanent. Freestanding mailbox can also be something permanent, there are not only cheap solutions.

Outdoor lighting is simply a bulb with a socket.
The mailbox and house number are hanging on a pallet.

In case someone ever takes them down

You can get an outdoor mailbox relatively cheaply, I would do it that way too if I were you, instead of nailing the thing to the wall right away. I think you can also put the number on the mailbox, someone already wrote that above - it should just be clearly visible so people can find the house ;)
