Background I live in a two-story condo that doesn't have ethernet wiring. My goal is to retrofit and get wires to as many locations as possible. After self-inspection and consulting with contractors and electricians, I have concluded that dropping wires from the attic to every room isn't an...

Thanks billshack & Jeff. Its fair to conclude that the risk outweighs reward in this case. I am going to move the foam out.
