The electrician drilled 3 3/4" holes an inch or so apart through a series of 2x10 joists. There is about 1-1/2" from the bottom of the holes to the bottom of the joist. There is more than one set of three holes and the distance from the end of the joists varies but they all appear to be in the middle third of the length of the joists. How about a 10 gage strap 1.5" x 18" or so screwed to each side of the joist under the holes. This is a house. 2x10 are at 16" oc and span 15 ft
