Just finished framing house #100 and it hit me different
I've been framing houses for about 6 years now and last Friday we wrapped up the 100th one. My boss keeps a tally on the whiteboard in the shop and I never really paid attention until I saw that number hit triple digits. It's wild because I remember my first house like it was yesterday. I was so slow and nervous I'd mess up the layouts. Now I can read a set of plans and know exactly where every wall goes without even thinking. The crew threw a little cookout after and it made me realize how much I've learned just from showing up every day. Has anyone else hit a milestone like that and felt weirdly proud of the simple stuff?

Congrats on hitting 100 houses, that's a big deal! For me it was when I finished rewiring my 50th house as an electrician. I remember my first one took me two days and I had to redo half of it because I mixed up a circuit. Now I can knock out a whole house in a few hours and even help the new guys when they get stuck. It's funny how that quiet pride sneaks up on you when you realize the stuff that used to feel hard is just routine now. Keep that tally going, you've earned that cookout.
