My first thought was my wife is going to freak out when we start cutting into the hardwood floors :LOL:

Thanks and good point. Adding it to the list to get checked out.

Wood floors in the bedroom, so I'll most likely be going up through the garage ceiling.

The hole is only 3/8" wide so hard to get a good view, but attached some pics of the best I could get. I do see some metallic, maybe that is also causing much of the resistance? On image 32 you'll notice metallic (or so it seems) on the left and right side of the pictures. I drilled a...
