I'm under the impression that to get the repairman to leave, you have to make a "leap of faith," but also in doing that... that you can't finish the secret ending? So I haven't done that yet. And even if it were left unattended, I don't know what I'd use to cut a piece off.

Heh, ignore my last post please. I was so paranoid about missing the secret area that I didn't want to try things that might make me miss it... and OF COURSE just ended up missing the solution instead. (Which I now have.) Thanks again for all your help!!
