My home, built about 1925.
Still some active K&T circuits.
GFCIs in kitchens and baths.
Been doing a service upgrade for many years now, I have two meter sockets on the house. :roll:
A few flying splices in the basement.
A copper water line is being used as an EGC for one old circuit.
Panel covers are on and stay that way.
The small detached garage has a 1.5" and 3/4" PVC running out there.....to bad I have yet to put wire in them:grin: .... I run an extension cord out. :roll:

TR recepts all around
One flying splice in the basement
Outside recepts are all GFI, but no WIU covers
100a feeder to garage, but not a single GFI in it.
The kitchen, bath, and laundry are all up to snuff and in pipe. We just added on this last year. I even got a permit. :grin:

Mine is 100% code compliant to code for 1989 build. I have no desire to change anything. Well, I did replace all backstabed recipticals I could get to. I could pull the devices off the wires by hand. No tools required.
None of you guys has mentioned installing a GFI on the washer within 6' of the the laundry tub. But judging from the age of most of these houses I suspect they don't have laundry tubs. How about you basement guys?

As I often say, being a professional means knowing how to break the rules properly.
Added: To pass 2008 as new construction, the answers are obvious, and given several times already.
Specifically to my house, but was compliant when done, and might be addressed in the future:
1. Exterior receptacle (rear only) and bath receptacles on one 15a circuit.
2. Interconnected smokes (2) only in bedroom hallway.
3. No hall receptacle (but hall bath receptacle suffices).
As to what's wrong that I'm responsible for doing:
1. Hot-tub feed extended from range circuit, since switch to gas range, no separate EGC.
2. Receptacle above suspended ceiling for H/T projector.
3. Contactor inside H/T subpanel for switching power.
