how

appear to have an access, not even through the main attic space, It's
puzzling as to how I will get in there.

I know it's difficult to answer without seeing, but all suggestions are
appreciated.

Thank you

I guess it depends on what you mean by "through" the wall.

"Through the wall" could mean bringing the wire from outside the
bungalow into the room or "through the wall" could mean from one
location inside the bungalow to another location inside the bungalow.

Please clarify.


Thanks for the reminder. After reading the replies, I see what you mean.

My apologies for the lack of details.

I want to run/add a television cable from the already existing terminal
located in the basement, up through the floor to the kitchen inside the
exterior wall. The same as you would for any other type of outlet (phone,
switch, etc.) through the floor and inside an interior wall such as a
bedroom. Not running a cable from the outside to inside, but all inside.
I have run cables, phone lines, electrical wiring, etc. through many other
walls in this house as well as others, but never inside a wall which is
the exterior wall of a house. Therefore, I have no idea if there's much of
a difference. Viewing the joists in the basement it just seems a bit
difficult to gain access. It appears the thickness of the wall lies on the
foundation and makes it difficult to snake any type of wiring.

Thanks again.
Going up through an outside wall is a challenge. A way that I ended up doing
was to run a cable from the basement to the attic using the space around the
stack pipe as the access to the attic. From there located where I wanted to
come down through the wall, using the wires that fed an electrical outlet
box as the guide. In your case, since it's an outside wall I would think
that the easiest solution would be to come into the room from the outside.
