Knob & Tube Wiring

Knob & Tube Wiring was the standard for electrical wiring in homes from about the 1880's through the 1930's when it was deemed both unsafe and more costly than cable wiring. We don't often see Knob & Tube wiring, and even less often do we see it actually in use. Inspector Tim shot this video at a home in Ft. Worth, TX.

Here's some good info about replacing Knob & Tube wiring.
