Depends on the span of the ceiling and how much space you have above it >
before you have to cut out the roof. Flat roof/metal deck, or standard pitched roof/wood frame? Or, second floor above?

have you thought about making a pit to get the room...
It would be worth it to get that lift in. Get someone over to jackhammer 3 or 4 feet out. It will work out great. you can do it!!!
