Huh. I probably should mention that I too would prefer to pay someone for
this.
Apparently where I live is too rural and no one is willing to come out here
and I'm tired of begging to pay someone to do it. It's also been two weeks
and I'm going to go ahead and get this done.
With that being said, any help?
