I often tell a story as a parable,although it was a true story.
I was helping my wife spruce up her dad's house.
I bought a new toilet seat from Walmart and went to install it. The toilet was brittle and cracked. I pulled the toilet out to replace it and saw the linoleum under it was terrible. I pulled the linoleum up and the underlayment was rotten. I stripped that out to find the floorboards broken and missing.
I, literally, started out replacing a $7 toilet seat and ended up stripping the floor down to the joists.
My coworkers started using the phrase "toilet seat story" when talking about projects that are just the tip of the iceberg.
