A weekend, yeah, that might be long enough.

There are about 60 screws to remove (and more or less the same number 
to re-insert).  I found a set of take apart instructions, with 
pictures, on the Internet.  Were I to do it again I would print out 
such instructions and tape each screw in place on the picture.  You 
go into it thinking "oh, that screw obviously goes there".  But after 
taking everything apart and then part way putting it back together 
it's more like "where the heck COULD this screw go????"

Each individual step isn't too complicated but there are just so many 
things to be done.
