| Good news Chris.
Better question is why leave the old knob and tube in ANY segment of the house? You can use your 'spare' time to fish new wires to switches,outlets, and ceiling fixtures. it isnt rocket science and only takes 1 or 2 people to accomplish. You THEN have modern grounded wire everywhere and can sleep much more comfy. PLUS if your insurance gets wind of what you NOW have you wont have insurance long.
Make it look like a pro ran them,,,no wound up crooked ball of kinks. Roll it off the spool over the edge(Make the spool roll),,,not pull it off the side of the roll.
IF you have good wiring skills you can hook up OR hire an electrician to make connections and all pretty. If your service line is new great. If you dont have a modern 200 amp box use old one as a main and new one as a sub box with the idea of upgrading incoming service next. Try to keep the code insectors out of there as much as you can but do everything right and up to new code. Here they would love to condemn whole house for bad wiring and what ever else they can find.
BUT GET RID OF THE KNOB AND TUBE CRAPPY OLD WIRE!!!! | |
