Bleeding Brakes / New Cable install

I've replaced the lines on other bikes before, but last week was the first time for me installing and bleeding dual caliper brakes. I pumped fluid through to one side until I just started getting fluid through the lines and then went to the other and did that one completely before going back and finishing the bleed on the first. I don't know if it would have been an issue, but didn't want to be pulling air from the other side while I was bleeding the first. The whole process only took about 20 minutes. Oh, and it was a good opportunity to teach my son a new skill that doesn't involve a video game. :)
