joist cabling routes

[Phillcbr400]

Pretty simple question really,
Is it ok to use existing holes in joists when running in the cables?
Thanks

Lass???
He's talking Guernsey, they'll be more inbred than Norfolk!

Only certain areas....and we all know to avoid them

If you get asked what area of the joist that can be used , the answer is between .2 and .4 off the span off the joists , supposed to be the optimum area for least stress , oh and also the hole size is to be no more than one fifth the height off the joist , I was asked these Questions on a visit......

You sure that 0.25 is one fifth mate?

A friend of mine tried to fart in time with the music last year, and followed through. She ended up going home in a pair of my pants!

Without a doubt the best post of the last 3 weeks at least.

Thanks Strop,

No real ales then? Disappointing!

I've always wanted to go after reading Mervyn Peake's Mr Pye.

Apparently in summer the Bel Air pub should serve real ale.

Mmm, dark porter is my favourite too, but sadly quite rare here in Guernsey. Got quite ruined on it one Christmas in my work lunchtime. Thankfully it was a job where I didn't have to drive!

That's my summer hols sorted, cheers Strop!

if holes not 50mm deep you can get these metal plates (not sure what they are called) from wholesalers to go on top of joist over shallow holes

Niglon? joist plates
