But don’t make a battle of it. The list is so you have the request recognized 
and can organize information about what it would require and how much it would 
cost and who is interested in using it. AND even more important, who is 
interested in doing the research on costs, safety, maintenance, etc. Leave the 
options open until you have enough information to close them.

One question people often ask is what do you put in the cupboards? "What do you 
need storage for?" One of the things is stuff that can be used temporarily and 
then stored so the space can be used for other things. A folding pingpong 
table. Outdoor games like croquet. A special dog washing tub. The extra booster 
seats used for birthday parties.
