How much wiring have you gone through adding new stuff?

I keep a running inventory on cost of my mods and stuff associated with it. Kind of like shop charges for parts you see on bills.

I'm pretty sure between 10 AWG through 18 AWG I've got to be approaching 500 feet at minimum. Don't ask...

I have not done anything that required me to run power yet, so I would guess with my current project ~100ft of 18-20 AWG.
Wow 500ft of 10-18 AWG, how much does that weigh!?

Well the 18 gauge you buy at Walmart in the little blister pack is 40 ft so I suspect not much in less than 10 lb but my problem is when I change an electrical system like swap out and off-road light or something similar or want to move something I have a bad habit of removing those items with their harness and then making a new harness from scratch this is probably because I like to keep my installs clean and install stuff like mesh loom as opposed to split loom and once you install that and he shrink it on the harness you can't really remove it I also had a bad habit of making the connection points at the junction instead of making the waterproof connectors be at the lights themselves on this last go around I'm making sure if I need to swap something out that I just disconnect at the lights instead of what powers it also sorry about the run long on sentence I'm using talk to speech

You should by it by the spool. I got 1000’ spools of eBay for real short money. Have like 8 colors now. Ya, more than I will ever use! ?

Yeah, but if you ever need it, it's in the pile of "needed" garage stuff. But, you don't have enough colors. You know that Dave (@AzScorpion ) would require himself to match factory wiring and have a spool for ALL the colors on hand

I think I have about 1,000 ft on hand, but I do other "wiring" mods that are not for the truck (like RGB lights, etc.) and I pick up 100' coils of 3 strand 18AWG extension (black rounded) cord and other odd things. Usually, never throw away any either.

I think I've only used about 10ft in the truck and that was a run from back to front of the 3 wire cable underneath from back panel to dash via console (so maybe that's 30'??)
