An electrician drilled a one-inch diameter hole in my house's rim

the end of the hole.

Would this one inch hole significantly weaken the rim joist?

You're probably ok as long as the electrician got a permit and had the
structural modification inspected.

Should I fill it with epoxy or something?

If you do, make sure you get a permit and have the work inspected.

You have to be kidding about a permit and structural modification
inspection!


If you're humor impaired, may I suggest reading the entire thread to
relieve any confusion?
