   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.
