When a newbie (remember, all of us have been!), see to that you've got 
two hours. Take small steps, never use force and change angles to the 
occuring problems. This helps a lot. Rushing it is often the worst enemy...

When inside, describe/photograph what you see and the lsit can probably 
help. A simple and cheap ohm-meter can be very helpful too and worth it 
in the future. You can get one at 10-15 bucks in a decent electronic store.

Good luck!
