Ya it was pretty exciting when we first started. Thought we could knock it out in under a year. But one day I shut off all the interior electrical switchs and lights and saw that the meter was still running. YIKES, We isolated the circuit but when we started tracing wires we found the knob and tube had seen better days. On top of that they had blown in insulation in the wire runs which is a big no no in Maryland. So we decided then to gut the entire house, rewire and renovate the inside.

Its going on two and a half years now. Almost there, just have three out of thirteen rooms to go.

The charm has worn off a long time ago though.

I dred the next big project of soffit and facia, I hate heights.
