This is what I would do as well. There are some thing that are easy to do for a person and some things that are hard to do. You might know someone who is willing to come show you how to do something and maybe even help you do it for a case a beer and a BBQ one weekend.
It all boils down to how much time you want to spend and how much it will mess with your space until it is complete.
