Have a flight of 10 concrete steps in the back of the house where wife
wants a wrought iron railing. First call she made got a quote of
$100/foot or $1,000 installed for powder coated wrought iron. Seems
outrageous to me. Any ideas how to proceed? How hard would it be to
buy a rail and put it in myself?

Frank , depending on how fancy it is that may not be a bad price . If it's
just 1/2" square pickets and plain top/bottom rails that's kinda high .
Do you have metalworking skills and the tooling to do this ? Do you have
experience in calculating pitch , picket length , cut angles , etc ? Though
7 1/2" rise 11 1/2" run is fairly common , your steps may have a different
pitch ...
