How many of you guys have had seemingly simple jobs turn into major projects.

Just this week I had to remove the battery trays from the plywood panel in the bilge to fit the new battery box I made, out of 16 screws there were 15 the right size and one an inch longer which led to removing the plywood to see if long screw had penetrated the hull ( barely touched it ), but this uncovered another problem, the panel was held in place by screws into the stringers with no caulking ( oh good).I will make a new panel now and seal the screws.

Next job, replace macerator pump on toilet....I removed it in the fall and was not thinking clearly at the time, so had cut the wires to the pump motor( no connectors ), the positive took off into the abyss under the head floor like a guitar string ( previous repair ????). Could not find wire with camera so removed the head ( refit at home where it is warm) and then had to lift the floor under the raised head floor to get the wire back, and as I thought it was cut too short and was tight. Sometimes simple aint....rant over...
