I bought 6-4 wire and a 50 amp breaker today along with the NEMA 14-50r receptacle. No idea who I loaned my fish tape to, so the project is on a short hold.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use the hole in the breaker panel that the ground wire runs through, so I'll have to drill another hole in the ceiling joist which appears to be a 2x6. The problem is, the roof slopes down and nearly meets with the ceiling joist, so I can't get a drill on top of the board. I'm thinking about going through the joist at a 45 degree angle to put another hole in it. My other option is to cut a section of drywall out above the breaker panel near the ceiling so I can access the wall space and drill upwards to make a new hole through the joist.

Any other ideas?
