As someone wisely said to me, it's not the job that takes the time, it's the complications!
I'm sure we have all been plagued at times by stuck fasteners that turn an apparently straightforward job into a time (and knuckle) consuming ordeal.
Take heart that we practical boat owners (surely a contradiction in terms?) are not alone. NASA have recently been struggling for months with a couple of stuck fasteners on a canister that brought back samples of an asteroid from space. It's reported that a spacecraft involved cost a billion dollars (presumably, then, the overall project cost zillions), so it ain't just down to cost-cutting in materials and staff skills by boat-builders.
Stuck fasteners are obviously the work of gremlins, as we always suspected.
