Just realized I've run over 500 feet of coax this week alone
It's all for a single apartment complex retrofit, and my fish tape is basically an extension of my arm now lol. Anyone else ever get surprised by the sheer volume on one job?
The real kicker is the waste. Every cut leaves a scrap piece, every pull needs extra for service loops. You end up with a giant pile of useless cable ends by the dumpster. Multiply that by every job in the city and it's a mountain of copper and plastic just getting tossed.
