come time to sell and it may be impossible for the buyer to get
homeowners insurance and thus no mortage, effectively killing the sale.

But it's going to have burned down by tonight, anyway, so what's the

Get off the BS, crap..._IF_ (and that's the proverbial "big if") and
when an insurance company refuses to write coverage, it can be fixed
then. Despite your BS claims, I've yet to find any indication of any
major underwriter that will not write for K&T as a blanket prohibition.
They _might_ require an inspection.

I've done enough retrofits from antebellum to WWII boom time frame I've
lost count and K&T wiring has _NEVER_ been an inhibition to a sale.
