By removing and replacing entire walls, you are missing out on most of the difficult parts of texture and paint matching (and "just paint the whole wall" quickly turns into "paint the whole room" in some cases). I suppose you could make the argument that we should then just rip out the entire wall to run a single cable, but I personally think that's extreme both in cost and disruption. I'm glad you had such an easy time of it, but cutting, patching, and matching is a pain in most homes I've done it in. And don't even get me started on lath and plaster.
