Rick - thanks for the reply. The problem is that I tried everything to
make sure I measured the basement distances correctly to install a TV
cable, and ended up drillin up through the living room floor instead of
between the wall surfaces. Admittedly it was close.

You see, the path downstairs to the basement is way away from this area
and makes it difficult to measure and predict where the wall is.


You can get long flexable drill bits where you can insert it at the hole in

Good idea. They have various lengths, and even if the oP doesn't
need 6fett, it may be worth buying 6 foot for the nextr time. IIRC
the extra length doesn't cost much.

All I have seen have holes in the bit end and the other end for
pulling things through afterwords.

the wall and drill down to the basement. You may be able to attach a small
string to the drill bit when you pull it back.
