I am thinking about rewiring my upstairs in my new house since it is K&T. There is an old 1'x1' chimney space leading up to the attic from the basement. Currently the hot water vent is placed inside the old chimney, which runs up into the attic and punches through the roof. Would the old chimney be a good location to fish wire up into the attic? I could only anchor the wire at in the basement before the chimney and in the attic after the chimney so it would be un-anchored for two floors.

So any thoughts on me using the old chimney to run wire to the attic? I'm hoping to start this project this weekend.

The chimney runs to the attic so it is sealed off. The vertical run would be 30' or so (2 floors)
