Does minor setback mean you'll have more time to set up your shop?

Man! I am so sorry to hear that stinky news. I'm thinking positive thoughts for you.
I am not sure why, however your comment about the carpet brought back a memory. I have friends (he was my wife's optometrist before we were married) who scruntched and saved to build a new house when he was new to practice. They wanted to start fresh and new with the house. So they got rid of all of their old furnishings except the mattress and kitchen table and chairs. Then they moved in.
When they got the scratch they put in carpeting---exactly what they wanted with no sacrifices because of price. So now they have a house, new carpeting, old mattress and kitchen table. They continued to save. Guess what their next purchase was---A new Steinway Grand Piano. You would never guess they loved music would you.
Anyway this pattern followed; as they could pay cash for it they added other furniture in the order of what they really wanted to live with, not necessarily what they needed or what was practical. They ended up with a wonderful house that was really THEM. I think that is neat.
Enjoy,
