Boat Repairs

I was in a garage with a group of people.  We were doing some repairs on an old wooden boat.  It was very dark inside the garage so I turned a light on.  The light hung down from a electric cord and had a fixture that allowed two bulbs to be plugged in.  One of the bulbs was a fluorescent  and the other was a spotlight.  Someone unscrewed the spotlight because the light was not good from it but that made the room too dark so we put the spotlight back in.  I looked down where the spotlight was pointing and it was actually a car engine that we were working on.  I crawled inside the boat to see how it looked and a lot of the ribs were rotting away.  Somebody kept telling me that it would be OK in the water but most of the wood looked rotten to me.  The beam that went into the bow of the boat was mostly missing.  There was a screw sticking out and somebody told me to replace it.  We tried to figure out what size screw it should be but could  not figure it out. I finally took a drill and screwed the screw back in.  We moved the boat out of the garage and into a driveway.  The owner of the house got angry at us for putting a boat in his driveway.
