Our front porch railing has rotted and 3 spindles are gone- want to replace the whole thing with vinyl. Need to save money so DYI help is appreciated!

Yes - easy peasy if you can use a hammer and saw! Look on U-tube to see different methods. Look at a few different videos to find directions that you are comfortable with.
I believe you can...do you know anyone that works with vinyl? If so the 3 of you may talk with them if you have concerns. We have a friend that had a fencing business before retiring and now he has lots of calls and gives people tips just to get them started! Good luck with your family project!
Yes. That is a fairly easy job. Lowes sells ready made railing if you want to go that easy. Or research the guidelines and codes in your area and build it from scratch then install.
