Help, Please

While changing thermostats the wire fell down between the wall and the shower. Any suggestions to retrieving it?

You could try an endoscope camera with a hook on it.

We use seismic wire with a hook bent onto the end but this is not commonly available to everyone so my suggestion is go to Home Depot or Lowes and purchase a set of flexible fish sticks with a hook attachment, or, since Home Depot doesn't seem to keep much in stock anymore, order one from Amazon for next day delivery.

Even if you don't 'hook' it, it does give you a lot of information, such as, how is it laying? Can I snag it with a hook? How far from the opening?
I found the hardest part of using the endoscope was determining which way is 'Up'. I finally made a mark on the camera. Mine was about $40 and connects to the phone via wi-fi.

Yes, the OP is about to embark on an old fashioned fishing expedition. If long enough, a wire hanger makes a good tool for just such an endeavor. You have to straighten it out and make a small hook on one end.

Wow; that;s scarry looking! Think my VA doctor uses something like that when I get my "rear end" check up every 5 years!

That thing is great. I don't need mine often, but when I do it's a lifesaver.
