The problem is that I only get a few hours on the weekend that I can
devote to this project, so any savings is significant.

Any advice is appreciated.

My thoughts exactly. And, indeed, it is appreciated. I've often
wondered why people bother responding if they can neither answer the
question nor offer any useful advice.
