Hi Bud, see your still spewing nonsense
If insurance requires all K&T is taken out of service, and its a LOT,
then most places require a complete rewire bringing the home to
current code.


Complete nonsense. The NEC only covers the work done.
There is no jurisdiction that will require outlets be added so any point
is 6 ft max from an outlet (the current NEC requirement).


if you get a permit, GFCIs, main breaker panel, arc fault, receptables
every X feet, ground jumper at meter, ground rods at service etc etc
etc.


Your stupidity is astounding.
With minimal reading ability you could look at the "case studies" in
your source and see that what you say is nonsense.


you cant just replace the K&T with one outlet per room. not and pass
inspection


Cite.


of course code means nothing to you, no doubt you hack the wiring
everywhere you go.


You are beyond pathetic.


or you would have at least a little respect for the NEC and what they
do.


One of us has a licence and understands the scope and content of the NEC.


Have you figured out yet that your source from your state totally
demolishes your opinions?


Why does your source say "properly installed and unaltered K&T wiring is
not an inherent fire hazard"? Is your source wrong or are you wrong?
You pointed at the "photos of hacked K&T wiring" in your source. Why
weren't most of the photos identified as involving K&T wiring? Couldn't
your source, which was about K&T wiring, find hacked K&T wiring?
Why does your source, when it does some rewiring, leave K&T? Aren't they
as smart as you are? How could they do that in your home state?


Mike Holt is well known in electrical circles. In his discussion forums
why don't electricians share your paranoia about K&T? Are they stupid?
Why do they just think K&T is a wiring method that just has to follow
NEC rules?


Why was the NEC change not based on data indicating a problem?
Why do many jurisdictions, including at least 5 whole states, allow
insulating K&T wiring?
Why does your source insulate over K&T? Aren't they as smart as you are?
Why does your state, PA, also allow insulating over K&T (as is done by
your source)?
Why did the "Illinois report", to a state agency, not find significant
numbers of house with K&T wiring and insulation where the insulation
caused a fire? They looked for a problem and couldn't find it. Weren't
the authors as smart as you are? Where is the data about fires in the
huge number of K&T houses that have been insulated? So many houses and
no problem?


Do you still think the NEC applies even when the controlling
jurisdiction has an electrical code different from the NEC?


Does the NEC still allow K&T to be refed, just like it was in my
mother's old house over 50 years ago?


Have you figured out if I am a master electrician yet?


Still can't answer the questions?

Still too retarded to remove the retarded artifacts of your retarded
newsreader?

bud if your a master electrician how many homes have you burned down?


How long will you troll because you can't admit you are wrong?
_Your own source_ disagrees with *all* your opinions.

nationwide most areas follow the NEC since if they dont and something
bad happens the local is on the hook........


NEC goons will appear? The goons have a hook? Have the goons gone after
your source?
Do you understand that the hallucinations will stop if you stop using drugs?

Why can't you even answer one question?

Why does _your own source_ not bring the whole house up to the current
code like you say is required? Your source does only the electrical work
it wants to - often very little. Is your source wrong or are you wrong?

_Your own source_ doesn't even remove all the K&T wiring. Isn't your
source as smart as you are? How can they do that in your home state?

Does the NEC still allow K&T to be refed, just like it was in my
mother's old house over 50 years ago? Like your own source does?

Why does _your own source_ say "properly installed and unaltered K&T

Bud you OCD? you appear stuck

why havent you filled in your profile here? if you were truly a master
anything you should of done this.

if a local juristiction decides to not follow the NEC ( national
electrical code ) they can be fiancially liable.

you would know this if you were a electrician..............

obviously your not.........
