    That was the sparky's method when we had our (1830-ish, solid brick
    walls) house rewired a few years ago -- smash out channels in the
    bricks, lay the cables, plaster over ... and hope the walls still have
    the strength to hold the roof on.

    Fortunately we had CAT-6 cables (and some coax TV aerial cables) as well
    as mains power put in, so most of what we want works more-or-less where
    we want it.
