Just hit 10,000 feet of wire pulled this year and it caught me off guard

I was doing my end of year tally for material orders and realized I pulled over 10,000 feet of Romex in 2024 alone. That's about 2 miles of wire just from my jobs in the Denver area. Did anyone else ever calculate their total footage and get surprised by the number?

Man I did the math last month on my truck stock and came up with almost 8,000 feet of just 12/2 and 14/2 Romex for the year. That didn't count the 10/3 or the smaller stuff I use for thermostats and doorbells. I live up in Fort Collins so it's all new builds and remodels in the same area. Seeing it written down like that really makes you realize how much wire you actually drag around. It's wild how the small jobs add up over twelve months.

@blake691 fr that's a crazy amount of wire for just one year.
