running wires through walls?

[2K2 LS1]

Flex bits, security bits, and felxible nylon wire snakes or glow rods will get you through 99% of these spots. Only had a few where we finally broke out the sheet rock knife and went to town. sad part was; most of them were on almost complete multi million dollar homes.

thanks robert! now that i think, hell i will drop the wires from the attic to the gameroom via the one small 1x1 section of wall that connects, then pull the wires out into the game room, run them to the spot above the TV down stairs, cut a hole, and drop the wires down. i hope!

i think the house was built in 97.

god bless.

I always slid a piece of coax stinger through the cieling to let give me a landmark in the attic, sometimes it's hard to locate the wall in the attic. If the wall isn't insulated it's relatively easy to drill a hole in the top plate and bring your cables down. I generally like to use a cut in bracket as well so i can get my hand in the wall if i need to.

Almost certainly new enough to have that 'firewall'.

Paul, you're a baller. Pay Rustypnus to do it!

Code requires fireblocking for every 10' vertical minimum. If the walls aren't over 10', then they probably don't have fireblocking.

a flashlight, a drill, sheetrock saw and maybe some fishtape.

^This. Fish Tape makes the process fairly easy to drop Cat5 or Speaker wire. Now is the best time to do it while it's still cool outside. Climbing around in a 140 degree attic in the summer time is no fun. If you're going to do it, don't put it off too long.

Had a friend that used peyote, said when he was wired he could run through walls. I'll give him your number.

I can't wait to see the back lighting for your doll display case.
