Pro tip: the $6 pool noodle trick for cable drops, and why I stopped hiding wires behind drywall
My brother in law, who does low voltage wiring for a living, came over last Saturday to help me run cables for my new desk and caught me about to cut holes in the wall to hide everything. He grabbed a $6 pool noodle from my garage, sliced it lengthwise, and ran my 4 monitor cables and power strip through it along the baseboard in about 10 minutes. He said "nobody looks behind your desk, they look at the floor" and that stuck with me because I'd spent two weekends overthinking a job that took one afternoon. Now the desk looks clean and I didn't mess up my rental walls. What's your go to cheap material for hiding cables that people always overlook?
