I once pulled all the satellite cables out and what did not pull out easy I cut from a set of holes through floor joists that I had drilled and did have plans for eventually pulling other cables through. When satellite guys showed up I told them to drill their own #%& holes:rant:
I don't normally do something like this, but this was probably around a $500K home they did very sloppy work in areas that would remain exposed, which there was no excuse for being exposed IMO, then when I saw how nice and neat and convenient it was when my holes were used I had enough of them.
Must have been the same installers that I encountered!
I was running a feeder wire to a sub panel and had drilled a hole for my cable to go into and across the attic. It was, first of all, hot that day, and second it was difficult to drill the hole where I had to put it.
I was working in the other part of the house at the main panel. When I went up in the attic to fish the wire across and through the hole I drilled I couldn't see much daylight through the hole. So I went to place something in the hole so I could make sure I was at the right hole.
Then when I walked into the room to where the hole was drilled I saw some other guys in there. The HO said these were the cable guys and were running their cables for the new addition. Ok with me (I thought) as long as we could work around each other.
Well I looked up where I drilled my hole and I saw why I wasn't seeing much daylight.
Yep, those clowns filled the hole with their cables!:rant:
I had to really fight myself to keep from taking my cutters and cutting their cables!:happysad:
I did manage to get my conductors in the hole but it wasn't easy. I did tell the guys it would have been nice had they asked before doing that and maybe I could have enlarged the hole some.:roll:
I don't think they much cared as they didn't say anything.:thumbsdown:
