[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Seat Drains Replacement

Sun Mar 27 21:18:10 EDT 2022

Jesse :

If I knew where these projects would lead I probably would known better than to start. My 6 year reconstruction project started with trying to fix a soft spot on the deck. Once you start taking things apart you keep finding other problems that also need to be fixed and you can end up going backwards for years before things begin to move forward. My wife was sure that I had utterly destroyed the boat and would never complete the restoration. I had a few moments when I thought the same thing.

Graham, your reply had me laughing since my projects usually go the
opposite way.  I start on one project, which leads to another (probably
bigger project), and suddenly I've decided to tackle a bunch more things
while I'm at it.  You seemed to have planned upfront to take on everything
right up front.
