Patty, it's your house, if you want an extra table or two for other projects (or puzzles) that seems like an easy splurge. Or is there not room? The realty website photos of the staging (it's ages since I saw them) looked like you had some room to work with. My sympathy with the pump work. I've had a few projects over the years that if I'd known more I'd have researched them better or had bit the bullet and had someone else take care of them. But you often don't know until you try for yourself. I remember one plumbing project . . .

The neighbors across the street (the elderly couple) report that the lock on their side gate into the back yard was cut last night and someone also forced their way into their garage (from the side door in the back yard). They were at home and heard nothing. It is definitely time to get the electrician here to change out the transformer for my doorbell so I can install the Ring. That might well have caught the activity or them passing by, since my porch looks directly at their porch (it wouldn't have seen the side yard activity, but the only way to approach that area is from the street on the front of our houses). I didn't hear my dogs barking so whoever was over there was quiet. They usually bark at people in the street (everything that isn't a car passing by - though they make an exception for the mail carrier truck.)
