Sheetrock and Cinder Blocks

For quite a while, I had been trying to convince Megan of the merits of a wired home network over a less reliable, albeit simpler, wireless only network. With summer fast approaching and the prospect of surviving an ascent to the attic in Phoenix looking more and more grim, I got the go ahead (and an eye roll.)
Ben committed to help out, and we picked up a bundle of cat5e cable. The attic was brutal - 30 years of caked on dust settled into the rolled fiberglass insulation, and a nearly asphyxiating heat. I attached the cable to a pulling rod and sent it down the hole with the electrical wiring to our kitchen. It was going to be easy from there on out.
To make a long story short, I punched a hole in the kitchen wall to pull the cable through and couldn't find it. Punched holes higher, to the left, to the right - nine in all before finding out that the electrical wiring was routed through the holes in the cinder block wall rather than behind the sheetrock. After punching 3 holes in the cinder block from inside, I finally found the end of the rod and pulled the cable through.
I sent the other end of the cable through the ceiling of our closet to the shelf where the modem and router would ultimately reside. Megan came home and was less than thrilled about the collateral damage from the affair. Pulling up a website on the new network and smiling did not seem to console her much. She took it amazingly well, considering most women would ship their husband to Abu Dhabi to live with Nermal under the circumstances.
She gave me the benefit of the doubt and is withholding judgment until the sheetrock repair is finished. How would you respond?
