The week everything went right on a single pantry build

I had a week last fall where a full custom pantry with 12 drawers and 4 doors came together without a single reject part, which never happens for me. The domino joiner lined up perfectly on every shelf, the Blum slides went in with zero adjustments, and even the finish sprayed out flat with no nibs. Has anyone else had a perfect job that made you question if you were dreaming or just got lucky for once?

That "dream job" feeling always makes me wonder why the universe holds it together sometimes and falls apart other times.

Wait, zero adjustment on the slides? That part gets me. Twelve drawers and you didn't have to touch a single one? @derekp70 said it right, the universe just decides to cooperate sometimes. I've had runs where every other Blum slide needed a tweak, drives me nuts. And the finish with no nibs? That's sorcery, man.
