I think you get the idea from all the responses so far. I think I would do
some more investigation to determine if a cam is all you really need.
As for the other tasks, I think Max put it best. It'll definitely take
longer than you expect. I know I always fail to figure in the time it takes
to find the right tool(s), and to cleanup afterwards.
Good luck.
Safety Fast!
