I need some ethernet cables between my computer room and the TV room. The

floor for about 1 foot.

The plan is *to drill a hole from the crawlspace up into the space between
two inside walls (one of them is the TV room) and between two studs. Then I
can make an opening on the wall for the faceplate and the network jack.
There is an electrical outlet on that wall, but I don't think that's going
to help.

If I could drill the hole from the top between the walls and between studs,
that would be easy. But since I can't get a drill inside the walls, I have
to drill up from the crawlspace. How do you identy the area between two
drywall, from the crawlspace looking up?

@bob:

Umm, cut the hole for the faceplate in the wall first, then use a
specially
made drill bit just for this purpose to make the hole for the wires in
the
bottom of the wall cavity, then run the wires...

Google search: "long drill bits for wiring"

Good luck...

Lowes, for example, has the super long drill bits for these kinds of
jobs. Extensions, even, if you have the newly fashionable ultra high
ceilings. Most electrical distributors have carried these for years.
