Hit 500 stair stringers this morning on a custom build in Boulder

Been doing stairs for about 8 years now and I keep a tally in my notebook just out of habit. This morning I finished layout on a curved set for a house near Chautauqua Park and realized I'd crossed the 500 mark. Never thought I'd hit that number, but it made me think about how much waste I've avoided by refining my process over time. Any of you guys keep running counts on specific joints or cuts you've made?

500 and you still haven't made a misstep?

Wait, are you counting from the very beginning of the season or just since the last few episodes? I think you might be mixing up a couple things because there was definitely that one moment in episode 4 where they almost blew the whole plan. It wasn't a full misstep but it was close enough that someone could argue it counts. Also, the way they handled that situation with the supplier in episode 7 was a little sloppy even if it worked out in the end. I'm not saying they messed up badly, but saying zero missteps feels like a stretch.
