Just realized I've pulled over 10,000 feet of 12/2 Romex in the last month alone.

That's a crazy amount of wire. What kind of job eats that much? I'm picturing a whole new apartment building or maybe a huge house addition. Are you running all new circuits for a kitchen and laundry room on every floor, or is this more like wiring up a bunch of identical units in a complex?

Right? A whole new apartment building is EXACTLY what I pictured too. I did a small 8 unit rehab last year and we used miles of 12/2 just for the basic outlets and lights. Every unit needs its own kitchen circuits, bathroom GFCI, you name it. It adds up so fast you stop counting the spools.

Actually, @craig.alex, he said it was a rehab... not new.

Fair point. Actually changed my mind on that one.
