Hello Jason and welcome,
Your enthusiasm is great to see. I would have to agree with Therrin though where he said to get a local pro in. You could work as a groundie for him and split costs. He would have equipment and do it MUCH faster with NO damage (hopefully!). The experience you would get in that short time will assist you greatly with other jobs to come. Keep your eyes and ears open and take it all in. You will be exposed to techniques you may have never thought of. I myself often find different ways of doing things with Ekkas videos or those on you tube etc (Some how NOT to do it!!!).
Dont want to sound like your mum, but remember PPE! With NO damage to the house or bushes the you may find that you are referred by the owner with a good name. Great! Free advertising. But if you break something it can really work against you.
If you feel confident and get some gear, at least have someone there with you.
Good luck and look forward to hearing the outcome.
