Re: Using the Sewer Vent for Cable or Cat5e Run?

["Petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

if you have a pipe in straight line from bottom to top of the building,then
you don't have to drill anything...

your pipe is round,and much of the time the guys make a square hole to let
pass from floor to floor,with a bit of patient and a good fish (1/4 inch)
you can pass from top to bottom then pull the wire up,wait till its a bit
less hot in the attic to try it..
