The desired spot is about 15 feet away along the wall.
I wish it were simple - I am just not sure how to account for any obstacles that might be hidden. |
Generally speaking, yes you could follow your plan.
Although you'll usually run into some unplanned obstacle and you'll just have to use ingenuity to find a way around it. I've pulled tons of ethernet in the places I've lived as well as for others. Something unexpected will always pop up
