   I'd do it for you but I'm sat at home with a flat foot, lol not having much use, I think I would be tempted to do the above till summer when you get a bit more warmth and get yourself a 12v heater off amazon.

   if you can still grip ok maybe time for power tools?
   
   bit of a bummer that Book time is 3.3 hours and I'm sure it can take less quite easily, so shouldn't be too expensive to get done.
