Saw a fire alarm panel in a Boise library that made me rethink my own work
The install was clean, but the tech had used zip ties on every single wire, even the low voltage ones. It looked neat, but I know from experience that makes future service a real headache. Do you guys ever see a 'perfect' install that you know will be a pain down the road?

That zip tie mess on low voltage wires is a classic case of making it pretty for the inspector but awful for the next guy.

It's the electrical version of a museum piece. Looks great behind the glass, but God help you if you actually need to touch anything. Future techs will need surgical tools just to replace a single wire. That kind of neatness is a hostile act disguised as good work.
