If you want my opinion,which many don't.I would send it to a professional; but you may want to check with some of the novices first.They seem to know more than I do.
Terry, I value always value your opinion even if I dont agree at times. I dont need to tell you this as I am sure you know, but your a very valuable member on this board amongst others.
I would love to save the money and have the satisfaction/experience & subsequent knowledge of doing it myself, however, if its not something that a novice, or slightly above Novice [as I consider myself - open for debate, just not here - start another thread if anyone wants to debate that :)] can tackle then so be it and it goes off to the pros. The only issue is that it becomes a considerably more expensive project than originally thought. I however, do want it done right, and right the first time. Whether or not I do it or someone else, thats not negotiable.
