Spent 3 hours running a line only to find a rodent had chewed through the jacket
I was at a house off Maple Street in Dayton last Tuesday, fishing a new RG6 through a crawlspace for a TV install. Got all the way to the living room wall plate and tested the line, got zero signal all the way through. Turns out a mouse or something had gnawed right through the outer jacket near the furnace duct, and I had to pull the whole thing back and start over with a new spool. Has anyone else run into critter damage in older homes and found a way to prevent it without using metal conduit everywhere?

Man, that's a rough way to lose three hours. I've had squirrels get into attic runs before and it's always a pain to track down where they chewed through.

Wish I could blame a squirrel, but it was my own dumb ass forgetting I left a window cracked during a rainstorm. Three hours of my life I'll never get back.
