Just a couple more things before we move on.

Do you have a date in mind for when you want this elephant ensconced in your garden?

Tomorrow?

Well, I think that's just a little ambitious.

Setting a realistic time frame is important. You don't want to spoil all the fun of actually having the elephant with resentment about how badly the project timing has overrun, do you? Time is money, you know. You want this whole thing to be unmixed joy. And within budget.
