A customer in Denver told me my wall fish looked like a toddler did it

He pointed out a visible dip in the line about two feet from the outlet, said it was 'sloppy.' I was rushing to finish before 5 PM. Now I always pull an extra foot of slack and use a second low voltage bracket for support on long runs. Adds maybe three minutes per drop but the lines look straight and professional. Anyone have a better method for keeping wall fishes clean over eight foot spans?

Wall fish looked like a toddler did it" is a new one. I've gotten "did you do that in the dark?" before. That dip two feet from the outlet is always the killer spot, especially when you're racing the clock. My method is just to curse a lot and then go back and fix it, which is probably why I'm not in business for myself.

Honestly, what kind of low voltage bracket are you using for that extra support?

I read about using a mud ring for that.
