Whoever rewired my bungalow ran the cables across the attic joists at
all angles to keep the runs as short as possible. This makes putting
any kind of flooring down a bit difficult. Isn't the correct way to
drill holes through the joists at half depth and run the cables
through? The joists are only 70mm deep, so would drilling holes all
over the place weaken them?


Sigh. I know. *******s aren't they?


at 75mm, just lay yer insulation down, then cross batten with 2x1 or so
lay another layer of insulatin cross ways and lay teh floor down on
that. Cables will sit betwen the battens one way or another.
