Once the holes are drilled, carefully fish the 6/3 Romex wire through these holes and the drywall opening to connect to both the electrical panel and the future outlet box.

Goal: Route new electrical wiring through the wall

Tools and materials

  • Power Drill Milwaukee — Drilling holes through wall studs
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during drilling
