Default Running cables through stud walls

It ain't easy! Stud partititions typically have uprights at 18" centres or
thereabouts. But they also have horizontal studs - often at about one

third
and two thirds of the room height. So if you want to go from above ceiling
level down to nearly floor level, you'll have to drill through not only

the
top member but also the two intermediate members - and I bet you don't

have
a long enough drill!

If you don't mind bringing the cable out near the ceiling rather than near
the floor, or if you don't mind removing and making good a small piece of
plasterboard in the region of each horizontal stud sufficient to get a

drill
in from the side, you might manage it.


Cheers Set!

I have a stud detector somewhere so I'll dust it off and check where I
stand.
