A client in Phoenix pointed out my wire runs were a mess

I was finishing a panel install at a house last month and the homeowner, a retired engineer, asked why I didn't follow the stud lines. He said, 'It looks like a spider web back there.' I realized I was rushing the clean-up part. Now I take an extra 20 minutes per job to use more clips and keep everything straight and parallel. Anyone else get called out on something simple that actually improved your work?

Retired engineers are the final boss of clean work. My early panels looked like a bird's nest, got a similar talk from a foreman once. That extra time with the clips is a game changer for sure.

Yeah @pathenderson, that's why old guys always win at things like gardening or woodworking too.
