Clyde,
Your preface lays the foundation that both parties understand the
limitations the present situation has to offer and "let's get this working
for within the budget we have to work with." I applaud that foundation.
The real world has plenty of stories which dictate that making the best of
the situation will be more than appreciated.  Yes and there is that great
one that comes along where money is not an issue and our enthusiasm is
renewed.
As my wife reminds...if dealt lemons, make lemonade.
