100th system install hit me different than I expected

Did my 100th residential alarm install last Tuesday over in Oak Hill. Wasn't keeping count at first but my partner mentioned it after we wrapped up. We were mounting the main panel in a basement that had zero prior wiring. Had to run all new contact zones through old plaster walls. That job made me realize I've been doing this way longer than I thought. Never considered myself a veteran or anything. But hitting that number made me stop and think about all the crawl spaces and attics I've been through. Anyone else ever hit a milestone that made you see the job different?

Hold up, 100 installs through old plaster? Bro, that's actual nightmare fuel right there. I'd have tapped out after the first ten with how brittle that stuff gets when you're fishing wires. Mad respect for sticking with it that long.

Those 100 installs through plaster with @lily_sullivan82 is a badge of honor now. Made me appreciate every single concrete block wall job I ever complained about. You earn a different kind of patience after that many.
