I went through the basement to get lights in the alcoves recently. Only useful if you have access.
Cable came down 3 m from the bit of the basement I can stand in, but I fished it out with a bit of rope looped out the end of a plastic pipe, hooked the cable then pulled the rope to trap it. Worked surprisingly well.

I'm trying to get a speaker cable from one side of my brick fireplace to the other; can I drill right through? How thick will it likely be (Victorian terrace)? If I have a hole in the left and right side, how do I fish a cable through? There's a cast iron fire still in place and I don't know how much access I'll have.
