That takes me back to when we used natural gas for lighting, then this new invention of electricity came about. What's next men flying in the air?

A lot of this old knob and tube wiring gets a bad rap, especially when you consider the superior quality of the wire in most of these installations.

I haven't seen any of this old wiring. I have seen the old Romex wiring that the inspectors don't like.
