Don't you think this might be an undertaking that is a bit beyond your expertise?
I have been told this a few times in my life also. Each time I have heard it, it pi$$ed me off. To this point it has yet to hold true.
We are a pretty smart bunch. With a little homework, a little patience, some help from others, and a lot of persistence I know I can do just about anything. I am sure you are no different.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you post some pictures.
