New breaker panel

Best location for the new breaker panel is under an abandoned and unnecessary header beam (ceiling joists run parallel). So instead of gambling on the straightness of drilling with an extra-long auger bit, I decided to route concave channels on the surface (using a deep 1" core box bit). A thick, recessed, nail-protection metal plate will cover the wires.

2 AWG cable connects it (100-amp breaker) to the main panel through a run of about 97 feet.
