[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3110549, member: 29706"] Just get a fiber fish pole set or two. Drill a hole and run to an access panel area. Pull the cable and then do the same thing on the other end. For really long runs the tapes will work ok but you have to get a piece of pvc to help direct it at times. I was fishing wires with just a piece of pvc with a wire on the end. Was in a hallway and had to go over a pony wall under a beam and to a recessed light can. Guy I was working with at the time was standing there saying he couldn't find it. I gave it a little wiggle and nearly poked him in the eye with the pvc.... Kept telling him it was right there and I was able to hit the hole perfectly with all the crap in the way. Pulling PEX through the mechanical chases in that place was the worst though. Had a tiny access panel in the lobby then had to crawl inside a column to get into a chase that ran the length of the building with vertical chases that acted as wet walls between the kitchens and bathrooms. The worst part was that when it was a hotel they figured that a simple way to dispose of razor blades was to just have them "disappear" in the back of the medicine cabinets. Naturally that means the bottom of the chase's were covered in old rusty used razor blades until you got them picked up and thrown in something. I'll take an attic any day over that job. [/QUOTE]
