Hit 100 outlets installed in my own house this weekend

I was tallying up all the electrical work I've done since buying this 1970s ranch in Phoenix three years ago. Counted every outlet and switch I've replaced or added and somehow hit exactly 100 last Saturday. Never thought I'd rewire an entire house myself but here we are, still haven't burned it down. Anyone else keep a running count of your renovations or is that just my OCD?

I used to think keeping a tally of stuff like that was kind of pointless, like who really needs to know the exact number, lol. But honestly, after reading your post I totally get it now. There's something satisfying about seeing all the work laid out in a number, especially when you've done it yourself and it's a real accomplishment. A hundred outlets is no joke, that's a ton of crawling around in attics and behind drywall. I probably would've lost count after like 20 and just given up, lmao. Really makes you appreciate how much goes into these older houses when you have to touch every single thing.

Breaking the hundred mark feels surprisingly good even if my back hates me now.
