Sit down with pad and pencil in a quiet place. Break it down into steps.
Assign a number of hours to each step. Add the cost of the materials and
supplies you will use. Get a grand total. Add 20%.
If you can't do this, you shouldn't be messing with other people's stuff.
If you can't do simple estimation and job analysis, how are you going to
figure out cut lines and basic job math?
