<div><br></div><div>Always pull more cables than you think you will need.  I assure you, you will eventually use them and if you don't you can always leave them in the wall just in case.  Cable is cheap.  And remember, it is better to pull more length than you might need unless you can accurately gauge an exact distance.  Even 20 feet of extra cable is better than installing cable which ends up being one inch too short.</div>

</div>Putting wires through ducts or chutes may be a violation of building<br>
code(s).<br>
<br>
Also don't use red wire.  We've had some issues lately with inspectors<br>
objecting to red wire that is used for anything but fire alarms.  You<br>
can haggle your way out of it, but why create the problem;  codes<br>
relating to these things are only going to get more strict [which is a<br>
good thing, IMO, in the long run].<br>
