I live in a city of about 200,000 people, and if I look for "Metal" in the
yellow pages, there are several pages of listings. Rather than call all of
them, I'd call a mason to get the name of a metal shop than makes and/or
repairs wrought iron fences. The mason works on porches, so he should have a
name or two to give you.


What I've done when I needed a dentist was call another dentist for a
recommendation.

When I needed a gastro-enterologist, I called a gastro-enterologist.
I know him personally, and he said to me, Well, I'm a
gastro-enterologist. I said "I know, that's why I figured you know
others, but I can't go to you just because we're friends. That's no
way to choose a doctor."


I should have said that after I said that he gave me the name of a
good doctor, whom I was happy with.

I can't remember the details of the dentist story.
