I'm about to hang one of the LED big screen TVs on my wall. *To tidy

probably for noise reduction


Any ideas how to get the insulation out without removing the
sheetrock?


just use a fish tape to pull the wires through.- Hide quoted text -

Use the fishsnake several times with a hook on it, that will clear out
most of the insulation.
