It is best to moan before you start the job. Then, pick up the box of Kleenex and look it over to see if it is overgrown. If so, you may want to forget it before you certify it.
When you are ready, take a feather duster and carefully begin to shred it daintily for six weeks. You will know it is sufficiently punctured when it appears speckled. Good luck.
