Scary demo work!
We are lucky the house didn't burn down while we were living in it!Between the extremely unsafe chimney (that the brick guy pulled down by hand) and the old fabric wrapped wiring running through the whole old part of the house we were living in a veritable death trap!
For example take a look at this frightening electrical box - it is loaded with 10amp fuses, has a mix of new and fabric wrapped wiring and a boatload of wire nuts that were splitting a number of wires off to who knows where.
I discovered that one 10am circuit was serving my entire basement, living room, porch, entry way, and outside light. All of it in fabric wrapped wire running through ancient BX flexible conduit, and spliced with electrical tape through at least 8 junction boxes nailed to the wood with no grounding.
Safety First Folks!
