Can someone recommend a company to make and install a gate and stair railing. I have contacted several and they sometimes come out and say they will provide a estimate but that is the last you hear. One company provided a good quote and I have attempted to have them do the job, but that was about three months ago and I have received no gate or railing.

we need someone to repair and replace parts of our aged back/side yard fences and retaining walls. It's rotted away in areas, gates are sagging and don't close anymore. We need someone who's not necessarily a craftsman (don't need anything fancy), just someone who can tell us which parts really need repair/replacement now or in the near future, and can pour concrete to do new posts, etc. We want sturdy and long-lasting, not fancy. heidi

The most recent archives are from 2008, so I'm hoping for more recent experience. We need a fence replaced on one side of our Albany backyard; about 40 feet or so. We don't want an expensive custom-built solution, but do want something that looks nice and is durable. There will also be the old (rotting wood) fence to responsibly dispose of. Prefer someone with experience, environmental sensitivity, and insurance (including for any workers). R.K.

I am looking for someone (or a team) to build a fence (less then 6ft high) on our (flat) property line. The area that needs to be covered is about 50ft long and will need some brush cleared before the posts can be sunk. Does anyone have (a) recommendations of easy-to-schedule and responsive/quick crews that do this? and (b) approx. how much $ should this cost? We aren't looking for anything fancy, but we would like it to be wood and look nice. Thanks! -wanting a fence soon

My yard fence is about 20 years old. The fence boards and gates are in very good shape but about a quarter of the posts need repair/replacement. Fence builders don't seem to also do smaller repair jobs. Any recommendations for a person that repairs wooden fences? seeking fence help

We need our yard re fenced. Anyone have any current recommendations. W live on a hill and there's lots of tree roots to negotiate too..... Thanks Need a new fence

I looked at the archives, but they are fairly old, and don't really address my particular need. We want an attractive, tall (to keep the deer out) custom-made gate for the end of our driveway into our backyard. Due to the steep slope of the driveway, a rather limited amount of space around the opening, and the need for both people/bikes and cars to go through at different times (I don't want to have to open and close a huge gate when I'm just walking through with my bike, but that needs to be an option for a car), I'm hoping to find someone who can come up with a creative solution, and build and install it. Ideally, we'd like to incorporate some of the wood and copper we happen to have left from previous projects, but at the very least the person must take an environmentally sensitive approach to design. R.K.

We need to have our fence replaced. Thanks! good neighbor

I'm looking for recent recommendations for someone to extend our redwood fence to include some of our side yard. I think it would be a relatively small job. While we of course care about quality, competitive pricing is probably the most important consideration for us right now.

Berkeley Parents Network: Fences & Gates

London:Royal guards have been moved from their traditional posts outside the England's palaces amid fears that Islamist fanatics may target them.

The instantly recognisable Queen's Guards have been withdrawn from their sentry boxes in front of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, St James's Palace and Windsor Castle to positions behind locked gates or fences.

The decision was taken by Buckingham Palace and police due to fears that "lone wolf" attackers inspired by the Islamic State group might see them as a high-profile target.

Although the ceremonial guards carry rifles fitted with a bayonet, the firearms are not loaded.

Armed police already provide additional security for the soldiers, after the murder of a soldier on ceremonial duty at Canada's national war memorial in a suspected terror attack in October and the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby outside Woolwich barracks last year.

Guards have also been told not to take sentry duty alone, for the first time since the height of the IRA threat.

Some former guards said the "retreat" in the face of terrorism was disappointing. Retired Major Iain Dalzel-Job of the Scots Guards said: "I think this is a big shame. The reason people know we're around is because they can see us. But I suppose the changes are necessary as there is a significant threat."

However, Terry O'Shea, a former Welsh Guardsman, said: "Moving the guardsmen back to a more secure area seems an honourable retreat given the danger posed by the terrorists.

I know a hard-working 18-year-old who works full time by day and wants to get an electrician certification part time in the evening. He is settling on the first school he visited that he knows he can afford. I dont want him to settle can you advise which schools in New York are reputable?

I can advise you on how you can research which schools are reputable. The first thing you want to do is make sure the school is accredited, which you can easily determine through the Better Business Bureau and the New York State Education Department. Another place to check is to contact the electrical workers union the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and ask for recommendations from the local chapter. Youll also want to research the job-placement history for graduates from the school, and potentially speak to some of the alumni to get their opinions of the institution. And while I can be handy around the house when pressed into action, when it comes to electricity Im barely comfortable changing a light bulb so when the kid gets his license, tell him to give me a call.

I think I may have been that guy at the holiday office party from what I can remember, anyway. How does one recover from having a little too much holiday spirit and punch?

Depends on what you did, Lampshade Larry. Did you grope the boss daughter or the boss? Have what appeared to be an episode on the dance floor for an hour? Or were you just a giant hot mess in general? Some things you cant recover from, and you might be ringing in the new year looking for a new job. Regardless, if apologies are in order, then in-person, heartfelt contrition is a good first step, whether for a specific act or simply for making a spectacle of yourself. However, before you try to recover, make sure you arent overreacting: Ask a buddy or anyone you trust if any damage control is necessary. You might be fine simply by never speaking of the evening, hoping your company has a short news cycle and waiting until someone else takes the spotlight for bad behavior, which is inevitable.
