Got told my wire bundles looked like a bird's nest back in '08

Old boss at the regional hangar in Spokane pulled me aside. He said, 'If you can't trace a single wire in under 30 seconds, it's wrong.' Started using wax string and marking every tie point. Changed how I plan a run before I even pick up a tool. Anyone else have a simple rule that stuck with them?

Heard "if you can't see it, you can't service it.

Actually it's "if you can't see it, you can't inspect it.

Your old boss was right about making things traceable. I got the same talk about keeping bundles tight enough to drop a quarter through the loops. Makes you slow down and do it right the first time, doesn't it?
