Fishing Wires
• If door or window
lines up toward the
center of the attic you
should be able to drill
straight up
• Once the hole is
drilled, use the bit, a
fish tape or pull rod to
fish the wire

Fishing Wires to Attic

lines up toward the

the pitch of the roof
may make it more

care to avoid going
thru the roof
