Other than "more is better" was there any reason for double staples on each cable?

Only the 3-4 feet between the 2x4 and the ceiling. The SER was a bit resistant.

Old timer tip for driving nails in tight spots

Old timer tip for driving nails in tight spots

Off topic, but how did you drive (2 of) those nails?

GeorgB, observant question. I don't know if he used this method or not, but you can hold your lineman pliers up against the nail, then hit the linemans with a hammer (on the non-pivoting side) and it does a suprisingly good job of driving nails. Again, just take care not to strike or mar the pivot in the linemans or it will make them difficult to open/close.
