Let us know how that works out for ya, Alan.....
But seriously....it's not a fun job, nor is it a quickie. Getting the top centered, and stretched properly can be a major pita. Watching someone that has done many of them do it certainly makes it LOOK easy enough, but if you've never done one, it can get frustrating. It can be done by one person, but 2(or more) helps.
My only advice is to take it slow, and don't try to rush it....you'll regret it if it is not perfect, and the chances of getting it perfect the first time are slim, but possible. Be sure to let it sit out in the sun for a long time, to help limber it up, and be sure you have everything you need(tools, fasteners, etc.) before you start.
Good luck, and take lottsa pics!
