Taking into account the Sitka location and difficulty of getting help easily, isn`t it worth a simple "fix what looks broken and see how it goes' before a total rebuild? That said, the advice of the man who did the rebuild carries a lot of weight, except his rebuild didn`t seem to last too long...I dunno. One step at a time, I`d say.
