anybody know whether or not running wire on the bottom of floor joists in a basement is acceptable, if your going to put up a tbar ceiling. i have a house which only has 2x8 floor joist's and i would like not to drill through them. to the best of my knowledge the answer is no, but maybe somebody know's the codebook better than i do. or know's the inspector will allow it under these circumstances. i'm in ontario by the way
