how hard is it to refret a neck?

I have a cheapo Strat copy that I'd like to refret.

I'd like to know from those who've done it if its a fairly simple process, and if there is anything that I should watch out for when I do it. Also what kind of tools will I need?

Robert OG has a whole thread dedicated to fret binding (blinding?) and a few other HOW TO threads around:

In case you haven't seen it. It seems slightly time consuming in my opinion, but not impossible to accomplish. Give it a go, should be a good neck to learn on.

what kinda board is it? rosewood or maple? do you want norma fender frets or larger?
do you want blind or exposed?

I'd like to get medium jumbo frets.

Its a rosewood fretboard. There is no binding on the neck, and I think the frets that are on there now are exposed. So I'd go with that.
