No grounds in my 1950 house

I purchased a house in 1971 and had it inspected. It had knob
and tube wiring! I got a $4,000 discount because of that, did
most of the rewiring myself, prearranged to pay a contractor
to review my work in stages, and be there for the building
inspector. Of course I had the contractor pull the permit
after he was satisfied, I knew what I was doing. Saved a
hell of a lot of money.
I learned Electricity and Electronics in the Navy. When the
job was finished, the contractor offered me a job, but I
thanked him and told him I only did manual labor for myself.
If you had the house inspected in 1971, you might have learned
about the problems. I know of two homes that burned down from
interior wall fires due to aluminum wiring.
