If you try to make up a home-brewed solution to
allow them to co-exist, it would be a good idea to get advice not from a
newsgroup, or the web itself.

Very sound advice. Newsgroups, while full of very good advice are also full
of wive's tales and anecdotal experiences which get stretched to become
trueisms.

Consulting with a live electrician, an
electrical inspector, AND your homeowner's insurance carrier is a must!
Insurance will not cover incidents caused by wiring not done to code.
DAMHIKT!

The insurance company part of this statement is one of those truisms.
Insurance companies pay off every single day on house fires that the Cause
and Origin Team has determined started with faulty wiring. Bad wiring, not
simply wiring that mice worked on, etc. In most, if not all states,
insurance companies have to pay against acts of stupidity. Check with an
adjuster.
