Serious question, I was pulling wire through a tight spot in a ceiling and my fish tape got stuck. Tried pulling it for 20 minutes, then remembered a trick with a shop vac and a plastic bag.

Oh man, I wish I'd known that trick before I spent an entire Saturday fighting with a wire in my own attic. I felt like a real genius after that, let me tell you. I probably looked like a cartoon character, all red-faced and yanking on that thing. Sounds like @stone.thomas had a much smoother time with his light fixture than I did. Why is it the simple fixes are always the last thing you think of?

That trick is a lifesaver. Had the same thing happen running a line for a new light fixture last month. The bag trick got it moving in like two minutes.
