All depends on how confident you are taking the ability to stop into your own hands. After getting the lines on, you'll need to bleed the system, test for leaks and then redo the lines if necessary.
Personally..it'* too cold right now for many to go outside and do it themselves.

I'm glad you found a reasonable place to do your brakes...good for you! Brakes are not a system you want to "try your hand at" unless you really know what you're doing. Improper flares, kinked bends, improper bleeding can all add up to disaster. Brakes are serious business. I'm not discouraging you from learning, but in the case of brakes it'* best to learn with someone who'* experienced in braking systems.
