My old lead in Toledo swore by leaving 18 inches of slack behind every wall plate, and I finally get why
Back when I was green, Gary ran the crew in Toledo and he always made us coil a full loop and a half of coax behind each plate before we screwed it down. I thought it was a waste of cable and time, so on a job in Maumee I started cutting it tight to speed things up. Six months later the homeowner wanted to move her TV to the other side of the room, and the guy who came out after me had to run a whole new drop because there was nothing to work with. Now I leave that loop every time, it takes maybe 20 extra seconds and a few feet of cable. Any of you get grief from a boss about wasting coax when you leave slack like that?
