would a 1 inch hole weaken rim joist?
An electrician drilled a one-inch diameter hole in my house's rim joist
while adding a new circuit. A half inch hole is sufficient to pull the
romex through but a larger hole is more convenient for him to insert a
conduit fitting into the sheet rock at the end of the hole.
Would this one inch hole significantly weaken the rim joist? Should I
fill it with epoxy or something?
