Strong magnets were good for dragging strings through walls or ceilings. Tent poles are also came in very handy. Even magnets attached to tent poles. Oh god, I love magnets.
Big thing is just planning where you want to terminate everything eventually. I was kind of lucky because I had a long bulkhead in the basement that ran all the way across the house perpendicular to all of the joists.

Thanks for the info.
I guess I'll have to start looking for someone who is willing to do such a job if I can't find friends who have experience with this. I am pretty sure it's just pulling a single Cat cable, terminating the ends and optionally replacing two plates if needed.
