I am in the process of finishing my basement. My house has a wood foundation and I am about to start wiring the lights and recepticals.
I am wondering, since the studs are the foundation of the house, am I allowed to drill thru the studs for electrical wiring? Or do I have to drill thru the top plates?
A few screws or nails do nothing to the structural integrity of your studs. A few holes for the wires are fine as long you don't make a swiss cheese out of them.
