PSA: That 'simple' coax run in a 1920s house took me 8 hours.
Got a job in the old part of town. Customer wanted a line to the back bedroom. Figured it would be a quick attic drop. Found the walls were full of old plaster and horsehair insulation, plus a weird fire block I'd never seen. Ended up having to fish from the basement up an exterior wall. Used almost a whole box of glow rods. Started at 9 AM, finished the one drop at 5 PM. Anyone else have a nightmare with those really old houses? What's your trick?
