DoorBell/Exit Button Holder

I was installing an exit button for my entry gate but only had very limited wire length. I decided that the best way to mount it was to print a cap that sat on top of a 2x2 post that made it obvious where the button was, but kept it slightly protected from being accessed through the gate. The wiring on the back of the switch is also a little exposed, so i wanted to add some level of protection from the elements. This is what I came up with.

The button is a simple push button that is used to open a gate. It is installed on a 2" x 2" post (actual measurements 1-7/16" x 1-7/16") and acts as the top cover for that post.
