Go to your local hardware store and buy 12 feet of the finest (smallest) chain that they keep in bulk. then go to Sears and buy a crafstmen flexable magnet (about 12" long). Drop the chain from the attic and then use the flexable magnet to "grab" the chain inside your outlet hole. THIS WORKS GREAT!! If you let this secret out you'll have to be "terminated".
I haven't used a fiche tape in years. Hope this helps. Later, red
