17 R EMO TE C ONTR OL A NYWHERE ! K IT Safety First! W ear gloves, safety goggles and head protection when drilling. Avoid nails, they ruin bits and they can cause injury .
R EMO TE C ONTR OL A NYWHERE ! K IT Pulling the Cable Whenever you run the cable farther than 4-1/2 feet from a hole in a stud or joist (open attic space, going up walls, etc.), fasten the cable to the joists or studs using cable clamps or appropriately sized cable staples.
Exterior walls are different. They must insulate the house from the heat and cold outside, so they are stuffed with insulation. The national building code requires that the hollow wall space in exterior walls be broken by a horizontal stud placed between the vertical studs.
When you don’t have access above or below the wall, try to estimate the existing cable and pipe locations from the positions of electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures on both sides of the wall. Also, take a look at the outside of your house, sometimes a conduit, vent or drain pipe will be visible and will offer useful information.

K IT When you are dealing with the unknown because of the struc- ture of your home, or with diffi- cult materials to patch the wall, such as plaster , lath and plaster , faux finishes, wallpaper etc., be patient. A careful study of the potential problems before you start the job will pay off later .
