I have fixed several sagging gates by putting a big gate caster (or castor)
wheel on the gate.. As long as there is some kind of solid surface under
it, it does the trick for many years. Casters I installed ten years ago are
still doing just fine.
Just look up gate casters on the web. they are available many places. The
last two, I got from Ace Hardware. You may need to add a little something
to make the caster solid on the gate. I add wood and use big bolts.

I believe it is O&G jobs. Apparently there is real building boom in that
general area also.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes,
His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen,
being understood through what has been made,
so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God,
they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became
futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
- Romans 1:20-21 (NASB)

Which begs the question, what areas of employment are so prevalent in
those areas?
Hell, it's frequently cold up here in Canada, we should have a lower
unemployment then. Snowmaking? Icemaking? Summer air conditioning?

Reset the two posts in cement with cement in between them, with or
without slabs or pavers. Set deeply, it will minimize or eliminate
the heave. If it does heave anyway, it may heave uniformly. For even
more stability, run those posts long and connect them at the top, too.
Use a sign like "Sal's Side Yard" or something equally flowery.
Or move the heck out of the Great White North, eh, hoser? ;)

I'd have figured that many/most Americans had a passing familiarity
with it considering all the hoopla about the proposed pipeline from
Alberta to Texas for oil refinement.
I think he is in Candada somewhere. Not Alaska which has a high
unemployment rate.

There is a .ca in the abuse header of Sal, so I assume it is somewhere
in Canada.

Probably no need for that definition if it's a location like Alberta.
Every person in Canada has heard and read about the employment boom in
that province. They've probably also read about the increase in the
accompanying cost of living too.

Lee Valley's gate latch allows the latching mechanism to move up or
down to align with the fixed bar. Stanley, Ace and Crown make cheaper
latches that allow the bar to pivot while the laching mechanis is
fixed in position. See:

Then that makes me ask. Where in Canada (perhaps Alberta?) is the
unemployment rate 2%-4% ? I've never heard of *anywhere* in Canada or
out of it, that the rate is as low as that.
I live in Toronto, Ontario and I believe the unemployment rate is
somewhere around 8%.
