Another non-DIY question. The house I'm getting ready to sell has a
wrought iron railing on the porch steps - about 3 steps worth from the
sidewalk to the cement porch. Sometime last yr the end upright piece
broke (square hollow piece, not one of the twisty spindle things). The
two ends still "touch" but it's apparently broken through.

It's probably not really "wrought iron" but is in fact a cheap steel
railing made to look like wrought iron. Hollow is a dead giveaway.

The railing could probably be welded back together, but it will be
cheaper to replace with something from Home Depot than to repair.
