knob and tube extension...
I used to live up north... ran into a lot of knob and tube. We were allowed to repair existing, but never add to or modify it. Any changes - whatsoever - require a new electrical system. We did lots of total renovations because of that! No-one can sell a house with knob and tube anymore! And I don't know about the rest of country, but in Florida, if you're doing renavations on a house older than (?) 1974 - not sure of the exact year, it has to do with lead paint.. if you disturb more than 6 sq. feet of wall, you need a certified hazmat team to do the demolition or you get fined $5000 per day until you are in compliance! These days I run from knob and tube... last quote I gave was $14,000... The owner ended up listing the house "as is".
