DAE have one of those weeks where every single install goes smooth and it freaks you out?
Last week I knocked out 11 jobs in 4 days in Elk Grove, no callbacks, no drills hitting a water line, nothing. My last stop Thursday was a 3 hour coax run through a crawlspace that should have been a nightmare, and it went in clean on the first try. I sat in the van afterwards waiting for something to go wrong because 5 years on the job trained me to expect it. Friday I got cocky and snapped a wall plate right at the end of the day, so the universe balanced out. What's your record for clean days in a row before you jinx it?

Best run I ever had was 9 jobs over 3 days, and around job 7 I started triple checking every wall before I drilled just waiting for the streak to break. Here is what I learned the hard way: don't change your routine when things go smooth. That Friday wall plate was probably you rushing because you thought you were home free, not the universe collecting its debt. Keep doing your normal walkthrough on the last job of the day like it's the first one. The guys who get in trouble are the ones who start skipping steps once they trust the streak. How did the wall plate actually break, were you rushing to load up?
