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

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.

My local state farm agent reports state farm will write no new

so you wait till home sale time and K&T kills the sale? plus you may
not have the bucks to rewire your entire home or pay more......

planned in advance makes rewiring more manegable.

plus rewiring requires access holes in walls and cielings, so you fix
up your home, K&T becomes a deal breaker, then you get to fix your
home twice.....
