I've got myself into a situation -
I need to drill through 6 2X8 joists which are accessible only
from the one side. They are spaced 2 feet on centers. (need to
pull cable across to the center of the floor). The joists are
sitting directly on concrete, and the decking is 1 1/2" (you read
that right) plywood.


Hole saw and angle drill. One joist at a time.


So I'll ask you the same question I asked the other fellow who suggested
a hole saw: how the hell is this guy supposed to get into that 7-1/2"
high space to use it? You must think he's some kind of Houdini.
