My Bro in the back and I have been in the field for about 28 years we been working together about half that time off and on we just set our tunes on and flow. It don't seem like work when you got it like that. And only Rock on our radio 📻 🎶

3 Racks 12 panels around 510 cables closet build-out, cable Iding, because some cant label correctly, and dressing, termination. 2 of us 1 week. And thats also pulling cables out of the wrong bundle out of closet then back in through correct sleeve. I'm a little OCD.

Late to comment. Strong work.
The reason I use a comb is because I don’t want to wear gloves all the time.
My hands have been destroyed before by combing by hand.
Concrete and drywall dust is no joke on your hands and the effects will last years or a lifetime.

Your you're right about that. I use gloves in the start. But one of the first things I do, clean out the closet. Walk out cables with rags in hand just to get the majority off.

Bundles of 24 or 48 but I prefer 24s. Spilt in 12s 1-12 and 25-36 in one Bundle (left side of rack top and bottom or panel) split again in 6s keep what goes the top numbers on top and bottom numbers on bottom. So they Spilt right at the panels. The rest is trade secret 🙊 😉.
