I’ve noticed a strange trend locally: a complete lack of fish tapes in the hands of remodeling electricians. Even the best electricans will spend a half hour trying to thread a wire through a series of holes, often with one in the attic and one watching on the main floor shouting encouragement at the top of their lungs.
I own the only fish tape that’s ever been used on our jobs in the last three years.
What’s happened to the skill of snaking wires? The young guys get a blank stare when a wire needs to something funky and the old guys just want to reroute it someplace stupid. Go figure.
Beer was created so carpenters wouldn’t rule the world.

Maybe they have a length of window sash chain hiding somewhere, and only fish down <;-)

Electricians were invented so Carpenters would need a reason for Beer
