I have made a couple of holes to mount security camera's, however, I'm finding it impossible so far to be able to get a cable from this hole and into the loft space.
I've poked various items into the hole! Extendable metal tape measures, bendy rods etc, then up into the loft space, and can't see/find anything.
And I've done the reverse poking things down from the loft space, and can't find anything from outside.
I have even used long bendy inspection camera's at both ends, trying to see the ends of something poked in from the other end, and done this from outdoors looking up, and from in the loft looking down, and still can't find/see the other "thing" poked in from the other direction.
It's one of those, had to go in, bend, along, then up kinda cable routes.
On the verge of giving up as I can't even see it with a camera as I said, let alone get hold of it.
A trained tiny rodent with string attached would do this easy, but I don't have one of those
Anyone have any ideas I can try?
Last idea I have is to drill a hole in the soffet about half way along, which may act as an access point for both ends to find.
It should be simple and take 5 mins, but it's just no playing ball and I'm not sure what else to try.
