Back in 2015, I'd spend 20 minutes hand-fishing a drop through a finished ceiling. Now I just use a glow rod and a magnet.

Honestly, the real game changer for me was realizing how much less dust and mess the magnet method makes. You're not shaking a whole grid of ceiling tiles and insulation anymore. It feels almost lazy, but then you get the job done in two minutes and remember it's just smarter.

I spent years doing it the hard way with a ladder and a mess. Tried the magnet trick last month and now I feel dumb for not switching sooner.
