Thanks for all the ideas. Finally went with Sacrete, mixed a bit dry. Got the water out and kept the

Say, that’s impressive! Very pretty. Uh, I had to blow the pic up a bit because I was wondering what was hanging below your front license plate.

Mickey? What’s the deal with that?

Looks good, nice job. Does the horizontal post have a half-lap join
with the vertical?

That new post doesn't appear to be made of laminated boards so I'm surprised to see the crack so soon.
Around here it would be best to somehow fill it.

That is the usual pattern for those.
I made one for my neighbor copying the others on the street
I doweled in the 45 but just because I had a Kreg dowel jig I wanted
to play with.
A drunk mowed it down about a year later.

Well, you got to have a hitch cover, and I'd already used the American flag in the bow tie, so
Mickey was next on the list.

I'd call it a 'cross lap' joint. I don't have the tools to make it properly, so I bought the whole
thing pre-assembled.
