Cable Tangle Bypass

Dropped behind the entertainment console to map a ground-level shortcut. Complete disaster back there—total rat's nest of thick power cords blocking the baseboard channel. Tried shimmying underneath, but the thickest HDMI cord pinned my shoulder piece against the skirting board. Zero forward clearance. I backed out, unhooked a loose plastic twist-tie caught in a wire bundle, and looped it between two elevated coax cables. Pulled tight, tied a quick cinching knot, and hoisted the bulk cables two inches off the rug. Slid right beneath the cleared archway into open floor space. Route verified.
