Just hit my 500th hardwood floor install last week and it felt weirdly big
Tbh I didn't even realize until I was cleaning up on Friday and counted back through my job logs. 500 seems like a random number but it made me think about all the mistakes I made on job number 1 through 50. That first house in Arlington I used the wrong expansion gap and had to rip out 200 square feet. Now I can pretty much look at a room and know exactly where the tricky spots are. Has anyone else hit a milestone that caught them off guard like that?

Honestly, I gotta push back a little on the idea that it's "random." 500 installs is a huge number. Tbh, that's like doing a solid install every 2-3 work days for 4 years straight without missing a beat. Ngl, I think people underestimate how much skill it takes to hit that kind of consistency. The fact you remember that Arlington job so clearly says a lot about how much you've learned since then. That kind of growth isn't random at all, it's earned.

Yeah but @hannahk19 that first job still haunts me when it rains.

Kinda hits you out of nowhere when you realize how far you've come. Bet that first job feels like a million years ago now.
