Is it OK to drill round holes in the flooring where house wiring crosses the joists so that there is no pressure on the wires at those points?

Between the joists the wires would be pushed slightly below the flooring.

Thank you for advice.

No it is not. Wires must be 2 inches below the top of the joist.-

IDK where that is coming from. You can't get 2" inside typical
interior 2x4 framed walls because the it's only 3 1/2 inches wide.



Aither drill the joists or strap the floor with minimum 2 inch

strapping to space the floor above the wiring, which would then need

to be strapped to the joists.
