I aplologize for the long thread here, I just don't know how else to explain it.
I have a finished basement with a textured ceiling for my HT. I used the advice of the forum to get 12g stranded wire from HD. I thought I would just pull the base boards off, drop my wire down the wall, run it under the carpet and to the other wall, back up to my termintion point. The wire is just too big to be under carpet.
Can someone give me some suggestions? I am not apposed to cutting the sheet rock, but, damage to the cealing I am affraid I would not be able to fix that to the WAF(wife approval factor). Here is the kicker, on the right side of the room running the length of the room is a drop of about 6 inches for all the duct work. I can get to one end of that from my utility room (Back of HT) and it has lots of space for running cables. The problem is how do I reach the other end. My room is about 25x17. I can provide a pic if you like.
By the way, I took the CRT plunge! My projector, screen, and linedoubler will be here this week. That is why I decided to upgrade my wire and put it all in the wall. Before, I had cheap wire tucked under the base board around the room. I am trying to "do it right". Thanks for any time you folks put in on this. The read alone is a lot of work
Thank you,
