NOTE: I do not believe this is acceptable (legal) for 120 volt Romex wiring, but works well for audio, cable , and HDMI type cables. As for the installation, I think our Gardenia (2013) has foam sheet insulation and fishing the wires would be difficult to impossible.
Are you sure it is not legal to fish a 120 volt wire in the wall, as long as there is no splice inside the wall? I don't think that non-electricians, like Best Buy installers, will do it because they are not licensed. But, I don't see a problem if a homeowner or an electrician does it.
