Hi Everyone,

Wow, newsgroups are the best!!

In San Francisco, knob and tube wiring can be covered with insulation
(fiberglass or cellulouse but not foam), just as long as a qualified
electrician inspects it and qualifies it with a certificate. I'm also
more curious to what everyone says about the humidity/condensation.

Thanks

I don't know the answers to your questions, but make sure you do not
put insulation on top of the knob and tube wiring. It is against code
and it is a fire hazard to do so.

I believe that is correct. Knob and tube by itself is very safe wiring.
It will support more power than today's cables of the same size. However I
seem to recall the prohibition against covering it.
