I guess the best trick  I ever learned was the fishing weight and a ball
of string..
Attic to basement drops,  no sweat,  look for a vent pipe, water line,
chimney, HAC feed lines,  one of them will always have a enough space to
drop that little honey all the way down.
Just did an 1845 house 3 stories,  got lucky was able to drop all the
way down and branch off on each floor with smokes and pir's from the
same cavity..
brought a tear to the ole bosses eye..    LOL
