c9I trust you all studied up using that link amongst the pictures of the house, and you now know all sorts of details about why knob and tube is bad.
Can somebody remind me?
I just had an electrician walk around the house and he discovered that there is far more K&T than we thought. It's all over. And it needs to go. Does anything on this list scare anybody or set off any alarms?
I mean, the price scares me, but not a huge amount. I wish this place had been updated before we bought it, but at least we know that we have a big sellable improvement to boast when we sell down the road.
