My house was built in 2006. I want to hide the cables of course, in that wall.
Can someone with experience doing this tell me what I'm likely to run into? I assume there is some insulation in there. What type of insulation?

Any tips on how to make the job easier and less messy (other than hiring it out?

Thanks,
I think on new construction they use foam board insulation with an air space between the drywall and foam board and thats where they run the power, I am not an electrician but mixing both power and signal in the same bay would call for carful consideration, last place I lived code required everything needed to be in EMT , metal conduit, good luck
