Default 1932 wiring

I don't think you mentioned how old the house was, just the wiring. Of course the tiny pipes wouldn't work for wiring with the very old pitch and cloth insulated wire but the 1/2 inch and larger pipes would. One thing that would be interesting would be to pull a single old style wire through the small gas line going to a gas light that's been converted into an electric light using the metal pipe for a neutral. Of course modern plastic insulated lamp cord will fit through one of those small gas lines going to a gas light making conversion to an electric light easier. It would be pretty slick to use bright LED's to mimic a flickering gas flame. ^_^
