I’ve had them install bidet seats that then had to be removed, ruin linen by using bedspreads on the beach, put up a dart board on my siding, tear the facing off a couch because they thought it opened like a trundle, break lamps, etc…It’s the life we’ve chosen.

(these type structures also burn like match-head in an instant too)If there are large baseboards with the plugs in them sideways they may pop off and allow access to the upright space in an easy manner.So you might not need to disturb the plaster if the electricians are clever about it.All of your your runs might not be the shortest from A to B but they can figure that into cable sizes.Although in an old house you might find the exterior wall spaces filled with, ground newspaper or some other 1970's (or later) insulation effort.Another factor is a large re-wire might trigger an up to current code setup regarding plug types, placement and number, breaker types, etc...If there are firebreaks (horizontal 2 x 4's) inside the walls, you might have to open the plaster (unless there is an electricians trick I don't know about).Pic 1 and pic 2 shows antique method of construction with some 2x4's open from basement to eave.Pic 3 show's a more modern technique with a floor between the levels.Pic 4 shows the hidden space behind an old tall baseboard (in some houses) that can make fishing easier.Which do you have--it was up to the original builder.Good Luck!
