    It will be close. If I don't make it, I won't miss by much.

    Time to revive this thread. It's been 50 weeks since I finished up last year. Just went last night and picked up this year's load. It's a lot smaller this year for 2 reasons. Last year was at least 3 years worth of wire and the electrician is only doing residential work now. No more bring Walmart type jobs. I'll try to post photos later.
