I have an open ceiling with visible joists that support my interior ceiling, which I plan to attach an additional soffit to later. Therefore, I'm considering installing flexible conduit through these joists.

Flexible conduit running through a wooden ceiling beam in an open roof structure, with visible rafters and a discussion about drilling through the beam.

Surely a silly question - but I need to run the flexible conduit across the roof ridge. Is there any risk to the structural integrity by drilling through this joist under the roof ridge (below), or must I run the conduit down and hide it in another way?

Ceiling with exposed beams, highlighted beam with an orange arrow. Question about safely drilling through for flexible conduit installation.
