A customer in Boise told me my cable runs looked like spaghetti

This was maybe 8 years ago on a big apartment job. He pointed at a bundle I'd just dropped and said, 'Looks like you're making dinner, not running lines.' I started using a velcro strap every 18 inches and planning my route from the pole to the tap before I even get the ladder out. Anyone else have a simple tip for keeping bundles clean in tight spaces?

I started using a small piece of conduit for the main trunk line in attics, keeps everything straight and off the joists.

Hey that's actually a solid idea. One thing I've noticed though, you gotta watch out for condensation dripping off that conduit in really humid attics. It can make a mess on the ceiling below if you're not careful. Maybe throw some foam pipe insulation around it as a cheap drip guard. Just a thought from dealing with some nasty callbacks.
