Just hit my 500th attic crawl space this morning

I count every single one in a notebook and number 500 came at a house off Maple Street in Springfield. That first attic took me an hour to get the drop line right and now I can do it in 15 minutes if the insulation isn't too bad. Has anyone else kept a running count of those miserable crawls?

Ha! I lost count after 200 and just started crying instead.

Counted to 347 before I realized the notebook was just my tears soaked into the paper.

Honestly, I kept a spreadsheet on my phone for the first 230 or so but gave up after I dropped it into a pile of blown-in fiberglass. Now I just judge them by how bad they smell when I pop the hatch. The worst ones are the attics with the ancient pink stuff that looks like it’s been there since the 70s and just crumbles when you touch it. Ngl, I’ve started carrying a little bottle of Febreze in my truck just for the cleanup after those. That Maple Street house sounds like a dream compared to some of the rat-infested nightmares I’ve been through.
