So, why not just drop the bull**** insurance thing about
this type of wiring. There's absolutely NO documented evidence about
K&T wiring causing fires, there's absolutely NO documented evidence
about K&T wiring being covered with insulation being any more dangerous
than if not covered, AND there's absolutely NO documentation to
substantiate your bull**** claim that insurance companies will not
insure a house with K&T wiring.



When I changed insurance companies, the questionnaire asked if the house had
K&T wiring. I have no idea what they do with the information if they get a
yes. They also asked about swimming pools, fences, roof, etc.
