Routing wires from attic to wiring closet how?

Rupp,

After you finish running all of your wires through, just make sure to spray that form insullation stuff in the holes. That should seal in very well!

I have to run wires from attic to basement. I plan on running them next to a cast iron stovepipe vent.

There was enough gap for me to run a CAT5 and COAX over a year ago so I hope there is enough room for me to fit another CAT 5 and wires for thermostat so I can finally connect my TXB16 (it's been running in "test mode" for a couple months).

The vent has a couple of batts of insulation around it so all I need to do is place them back when I am done and I won't have to worry about air leaks.

Well I got started today and so far so good. I got my weather server moved and so far all of my one-wire weather devices are working perfectly. I've got my X10 cameras back on line but my pan and tilt is a USB camera and I'm at the limit on the extension cord I'm using on that camera. Routing the wires is going to be easier than I thought. I removed the insulation bat and drilled a hole in the top of the wall plate. I then ran the wires down the edge of the wall. I can then simply replace the insulation bat when I'm finished.

Make sure that you take a look at Labor Saving Devices, lots of hints on pulling wires and cool tools!
