Aloha Toucano,
That's a lovely gate! If you wander through Waimea, you might want to see what they've done to decorate flat board railings. It could be ornamented with a few cut-outs or silhouttes if you wanted to have a really fancy gate. (Just what you wanted, another project!) It is a beauty gate just the way it is, too.
It isn't the welding that has gotten expensive lately, it is the price of the metal! Basic metal prices have gone way up lately. Not too sure why.
Oh, HPM will also match Home DePot's prices, too. HPM is a local company and all the money they make stays here. Home DePot takes their profits off to the mainland. (Which is something you should consider when buying anything on this island. Cruise ships and hotels bring tourists to the island, but who gets the tourist's money and who gets the low paying jobs changing hotel sheets? Same with hardware stores.)
A hui hou,
Cathy
