Finally hit 100 outlets wired on this house, not one callback

We've been working this bungalow in Mill Woods since September and yesterday I installed the 100th receptacle. Back in 2019, my first year doing resi, I think I redid at least 8 outlets on the final walkthrough alone. This time around, every single plate sits flush and the inspector passed us without a single correction. It feels like small potatoes compared to the custom cabinets or the new kitchen island, but for me, that number means my repeat work is actually sticking. Has anyone else tracked a simple install metric like this to gauge their progress over the years?

Yeah, "not one callback" is the real flex. One bad plate can turn into a whole afternoon of chasing your own mess. Numbers like that tell you more than any fancy trim ever will.

Honestly, "chasing your own mess" hits the nail on the head. One sloppy job can eat up your whole week fixing stuff you should've done right the first time.
