flexible drill bit

howyegettinon1

looking to run some cabling for network and alarm and ceiling light will need to drill through joists, where would be the best place to find this drill bit for the job?

I presume it would need to be about 2 meters long?

Drill bits aren't flexible. You just need to be clever about where you run the cable.

How much access do you have in attic?

You can get a right angle attachment for your drill, and that works wonders, you just need to push a bit heavier on the 90 bend.
Problem solved

I've seen that super rod website but cant find anything local
Here is what I'm looking for https://youtu.be/WqNi0effuNQ?t=11m17s

It's a new house its plastered so don't wanna be cutting in at every joist to drill through it if I need to get across the whole room

There is good bit of access in the attic but majority of cabling will be on bottom floor and they are all solid walls down there too so gonna be a pain running alarm cables to all the windows and doors.

Any advice on cabling a solid wall house for an alarm would be great too, It's a dormer bungalow so I think I have access from second floor walls that are beside the roof

Wireless alarm and "homeplugs" for network? No cables needed anywhere.

I'd rather go with the wired alarm, POE cameras etc... where would be the best place to get these or best thing to it? what do the electricians use for long runs on finished ceilings??

ferrets - trade secret of course, just let him off running cables and you can take a break, have tea and play candy crush II
