  • Furthermore, how do you go about running cables in your home?

    You watch some Youtube videos about how to do it and then you follow the instructions.

    It’s going to depend a lot on the construction details of your house:

    • Do you have wooden framing (common in the US), masonry (common in Europe, as I understand it), or something else?
    • Do you have access to an attic or basement/crawlspace?
    • Do you need to run wires on exterior walls (which means dealing with insulation), or just interior ones?

    For me (wooden frame construction, accessible attic and basement), I didn’t find it to be too difficult. Is it work? Yeah, of course. But it’s not that bad, and I recommend spending the effort because having proper wall plates wtih in-wall wires is way nicer than having stuff snaking along surfaces.
