Surround Speaker wire Recs - WAF need

I had the same problem and pulled off the baseboards and cut about 1 inch of drywall off the bottom of the wall. Then run your wire and re-install the baseboard. It's not too difficult. Just be careful when pulling off the baseboard. It can break quite easily. If you do break it or screw it up, you can buy new stuff and paint it for a small price.

Marcy- if you use a putty knife about 4" wide at the tip and moderately stiff close to the nails, the trim pulls off easily, although the occasional break will happen. Ifyou do remove drywall from the bottom,even tho a small gap is left by the taper to avoid wicking moisture into the wall, fill the space with an expanding spray insulation. Avoid "Great Stuff", it expands too much, really bad around windows and doors. DAP makes a similar product which expands much less. The room will be warmer and the critters will have to find another way in. Routing the back is still best. Say, I wonder if a shelf made of DAP would be a good damper for the Plinius? Let's ask REDKIWI!

Kitch29- glad to someone retains their sense of humor and doesn't take this so seriously. I can always use a chuckle on Fridays (and Sat.-Thurs also).
