Smitty wrote in news OR do you know of any sites that have attractive 1 lamp fixtures? No. All the 1 lamp fixtures are butt ugly, like your sister. thank you for your time. You're welcome. Here is another tip: This is USENET, and you won't actually see and profit from my wisdom, because the stinking homeowner's hub doesn't like me.

260.14 (c)-
just by fixtures that use CFLs or LED which will keep the fixture temperature down. If you happen to have K&T its time to plan on a complete rewire. |

Isn't the house inspector going to flag you at resale time, or how about your insurance company not paying the claim when your house catches fire... and I know you're an expert on K&T, but what about other types of discontinued conductors like T, TW, RH. What should you do if you have that in your walls? |

Personally, I would leave judgment of wiring types and systems to those who know something about them. Having an antiquated wiring type, isn't in and of itself, a hazard. |
