Hit 200 cabinet doors in a single batch last week, nearly lost my mind

I took on a kitchen job with 200 shaker-style doors and it was way more than I planned for. The sanding alone took 14 hours across three days. Has anyone else taken on a job way bigger than your normal load and regretted it?

Nearly lost my mind" is right. My buddy took on a similar job last month and he said by door 150 he was having conversations with the router.

Did you at least name the router so it felt like a team effort? @grant901’s buddy and I would probably get along, I talk to my orbital sander more than my wife on big jobs. I did 80 doors once and by the end I was measuring twice and cutting once just so I had an excuse to stand still for a minute. Honestly, 200 sounds like the kind of number where you start counting in "batches of 50" just to trick your brain into not quitting.
