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..

Its not so much in what they don't ask, it is more about the list of
exclusions
in the policy coverages that MOST consumers never read and are baffled
when some claim is denied...

Read all several hundred pages of your insurance policy contract
including
all of the fine print before you start making statements you really
can not
prove that are sweeping generalizations about insurance policies that
are
incorrect and not valid...
