2nd method you can pull the wire through without cutting a hole in the wood, then just put metal over it and patch. This is the way I used for running cable through joists in the ceiling where you don't want to cut the structural joists.

Thank you for this. I'm going to attempt to install a bathroom fan myself. Not thrilled about cutting the hole in my roof, but I'm going to give it a shot. Hopefully I won't have to call the roofing company to fix my mistake lol. 😂 The only difference I would encounter maybe is that I have lath and plaster, not drywall. But most of the method still applies.

I did my own bathroom fan install and found exhausting it out of the side wall in the attic was easier/lower risk than the roof. You can easily get a vent cover... Think like dryer vent exhaust. Just offering up what worked for me as a homeowner.

It's hard....i just did it at my house. If you know where you need to go, I had to use a oscillating tool and actually make a 1" channel down my wall, fished the wire, then drywall repaired it. My studs aren't on 16", some are on 10" some are on 22" it's insane. Lathe and plaster sucks. I love my house but the best advice I can give you is..........rip the damn wall down and drywall back up. I hate the lathe plaster. Lol

most of these methods still apply. but sometimes with older homes there ban be spaces you can take advantage of. a neighbor o my mom's once fished a chain down an exterior wall from attic to fist floor because of this. take your time, look around, be creative. then there come the times when you simply have to open the wall and then patch later.

Electronic stud finders rely on sensors that detect changes in the dielectric constant of the wall. The dielectric constant changes when the sensor is over a stud. The lower reading indicates the presence of a stud in the wall.

The top plate of my exterior wall is only about 8 to 10 inches below the roof sheathing. It’s impossible to drill through from the top as far as I can tell, even with my right angle drill. I guess I’m stuck coming up from beneath unless you have some great trip for that!

Sorry but your mock wall is hollow and my real wall is stuffed with thermal insulation. In real life one needs to punch the pull rod through that pink wool. Will your system work?

Well, nice video however, it’s never this easy. First of all you’ve got firebreak studs that you gotta try to find a way to get through. Next, If you have an old home like I do, you’re gonna have diagonal studs and braces. It’s a nightmare , something that even pros hate doing. Why don’t you make a mock up of the nightmare scenario and that would probably be very helpful to many people if you can pull it off.

If you find a firestop, just cut your hole above it. Your wire just dangles from higher up. Big whoop.
