| Sure, if you are willing to demolish the old drywall and install new drywall. |

| You do not need to remove all the drywall, just enough to drill through the studs and pull the cable. Patching is rather easy after a little practice. The only real 'gotcha' is if the wall is textured. |

| If you take out the entire wall (or partial) add insulation in none exists. |

| " in my unit " - do you own an apartment building or are you renting a unit? If you are a renter, I assume your landlord would have something to say about this. |
