Please look in the cellar. Go into the cellar, bring a

it's the old, dangeous stuff. If so, please call three or
four electricians to submit estimates for upgrading to the
newer, safer wiring.


OK, how'd you get that picture of Bob Haller's basement???


funny.......

the photo shows a white wire attached to the K&T and taped up.

Thisa is not a original K&T splice.

Its time to upgrade....


The picture shows a 1960's era Romex cable spliced into the K&T. It
would be advisable to remove that violation.
