I actually had to tell construction guys couple of years ago to tear
down multiple sections of brand new drywall because those idiots screwed
newly laid out cat-5 cable in between the drywall and the frames. (or
whatever those vertical beams are called). This happened in more than 2
rooms. Then in few other rooms, where we did not have the cat-5 cable
yet, there was a pull-string from the outlet to the ceiling (above
wall). Same idiots screwed that line between the drywall and the beams.

To date I have not observed quality construction around here.....
