If you use standard 14-2 wire (thinner) you may have an easier time of it. You can see where the wire exits the opening then goes up OVER the alum roof rafter, basically in a line towards where the vertical line of the open wardrobe door edge would meet the ceiling. I make no guarantee that this method won't damage any existing 12-volt wiring during this work. My ceiling light works still. I first piloted a hole with a coat hanger wire (straightened)jamming it back and forth towards the wardrobe. You'll be fighting through spray foam insulation. Once I had a hole I could pilot the wire through easily I cut the coat hanger wire at about 30" and used the 'curly' twisted end as the bit to 'drill' through the foam and widen the pathway. Make this tool - or something similar - then chuck it in your drill and spin the pecker while working it back and forth through the hole to widen it sufficiently to push a wire through it into the closet.NOTE: Ended up ripping this 3-wire chunk out and pulling some red 12/2 through instead. Thanks for the advice, Hal.
