Hot take: Explaining job timelines to bosses keeps everyone sane

Had a project manager last week who thought we could rewire a whole basement in one day. I pulled out my phone and walked him through the steps, like pulling permits and testing circuits. He had no idea it took that long. We ended up adding two more days to the plan. Now the client is happy and we didn't rush. Always break down the work for non-electricians in charge. It stops crazy deadlines before they start.
