Haha;

I guess leak scare is something each one of us experience. Welcome to the club.

The morale of the story is that if you worry abt something, chances is that it will happen. So do get it right the first time. If you have too much wires, it will trip. Too much water hose and joints, it will leak.

Orgainse all these, and you are okay.
