I've seen old houses where all circuits enter the breaker box as cables,

to upgrade wiring for his kitchen may have found the old wiring adequate
in a bedroom.)

That leads to a question that didn't occur to me before. Was there a
proper way to connect K& T to a cable?

CALL some home owner insurance companies ASK if they will insure a new
customer with K&T. Please report back here your findings.

if they wouldnt sell new policies you might as well replace ALL the
K&T since its impossible to get a mortage without homeowners insurance

Insurance companies don't generally ask what kind of wiring you have.

I've NEVER had one ask. I had to ask them. And they said no problem.
