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?

I feel lucky that i don't have enclosed walls in my garage.
