I looked on-line for "wooden driveway gates" but found nothing
anywhere near my very low price range.

This is a narrow driveway beside an old house. *It was built in

This is a pricey area for skilled labor [I was just quoted $95/hr for
labor to replace a simple bathroom sink!!!!]

Any hope of my buying the materials and hoping for a good enuff
laborer from the kind *that waits for work outside the local building
company (Bourget Brothers).

If you have experience, would appreciate a breakdown of labor/
materials.

Hire a pro and use the time you save for something important. Get bids
first. The only skill you need is to write the check and enjoy the
result.
