Route a long run of 10-gauge (orange Romex) Non-Metallic (NM-B) electrical cable from the main electrical panel in the basement. The wire needs to be fished and secured along the basement ceiling joists, navigating around existing ductwork, pipes, and other obstructions. The cable will then be directed towards an exterior wall penetration point, where it will transition outside the home.

Goal: Route 10-gauge wire from the panel to the exterior
