Showerthought: I just realized I've used over 200 feet of trim in this house

I was finishing the baseboards in the spare room yesterday and decided to add up all the rooms I've done. It came to 217 feet of pine trim, not counting the crown molding in the living room. I remember my dad showing me how to cope a joint with a hand saw when I was a kid, and now I'm doing whole houses. It's weird how a small skill just grows over the years without you really noticing. Anyone else have a project that made you realize how much you've actually done?

That's a lot of trim. My back hurts just thinking about cutting all those 45 degree angles.

Honestly @charles_chen93, a sharp blade and a good miter box make those cuts way easier on your back.
