Is there enough space to get up there and pull a cable across a vaulted living room or are we talking inches?

All houses are different! Generally speaking though, there is never an open area above your lid - the drywall is mounted directly to your roof rafters. I agree, pound a nail through the cieling and thenuse a metal coat hanger to see how much room is there - if you can't tell by looking at the outside of the house!
Good Luck!

I have attic space above my vaulted ceiling, about two and a half feet, this may not be the case with all vaulted ceilings, your best bet would be to get up into your attic and have a look.

chances are 6 to 8 inches you could snake wires in depending on which way the main beams run you might have to cut holes in the ceiling to run wires then go back and patch them.or if you are running wires across the room you can look at pulling off your base boards and running them that way it is ok to do that for phone,Internet,cable but not recommended for power you remove the base boards cut a grove into the wall at the bottom enough for the wires then re attach the baseboards

Typically with a valuted ceiling, the sheetrock on the inside is screwed directly to the roof rafters, and there is NO space to get in there. Check page 4 of the PDF document below to see a cross section view.
It is possible you have a valuted truss situation, though; in that case you might have some room up there. You'd need to get into the attic to verify that.

A basement somebody can not arise in. the top may well be as low as one foot, and the exterior is often soil. they provide a handy get admission to to pipes, substructures and a form of alternative areas which would be confusing or high priced to get admission to in any different case. relax in case you're concerning video clips or a band then below information may well be of a few help: Crawlspace (1986 action picture), a 1986 horror/secret action picture starring Klaus Kinski Crawlspace (2004 action picture), a 2004 lively short action picture via Peter Sved Crawlspace (2012 action picture), a 2012 Australian technology fiction action picture directed via Justin Dix Crawlspace (band), an Australian rock band "pass slowly area" (Bob's Burgers), an episode of the television sequence Bob's Burgers "pass slowly area" (Breaking undesirable), an episode of the television sequence Breaking undesirable

We have no crawl space so when my husband put in a ceiling fan he had to go to Home Depo and buy a snake to pull it across. He had no problems.

First off you have not a crawlspace in your attic. Crawlspaces are under the foundation. Attic space is what is above you. yes, due to need for ventilation you should have enough room to run your cable.

most vaulted ceilings don't have any space between them drill a small hole and push a small rod up there to see how much room there is then fill in the hole with colgate tooth paste (white) if you're curious

Yes you have space up there. You should be able to access it from your attic access. The smallest I have have seen was about 2 feet.
Wear a decent mask.

I have vaulted ceilings and we have at least six feet. I can go in my attick and stand straight to walk around. Have you looked in your attic?
