I always rent myself one from the local tool hire shop. Think it's about £30 for a whole weekend.

If you need a spare pair of [amateur] hands give me a shout as I would be interested in seeing how you get on with this, and I might be free that weekend. If you've already got loads of help sorted out, no probs - was just a thought.

Got one here in Bristol you could borrow for the weekend, provided it comes back intact. (quite tough to break!).  PM me if you want to use it.
