I would advise you to take it to a person that specializes in this sort of
thing. Allow him to give you an estimate. Also, ask him how he will go
about it. If you decide that you don't want to pay his price, do the work
yourself the same way the specialist would have done it. If you can afford
it, hire the specialist to do the work. The specialist would use a "lift"
and could do the job a lot quicker than you could do it.
