Just realized my old trick for fishing wire in a finished basement failed hard at a job in Portland last week.

The client's 1978 house had all the floor joists blocked with cross-bracing, so my usual snake and magnet method was useless, and I had to cut three small access holes to get the run done, which added two hours to the install.

Used to hate cutting holes but now I see it as the right tool sometimes.

Portland's old houses are a special kind of puzzle. I agree with @jesse773, sometimes the hole saw is the only real answer you've got.
