[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 331341, member: 2217"] I've done two renovations in 22 years so a lot of my electrical has been upgraded. What I couldn't upgrade without tearing the who;e house down got GFI's at the panel. None of the original wiring was grounded. It was a big undertaking. 2 x 4 walls with a combination of newspapers and vermiculite for insulation that had settled 2/3 of the way down over the years. Re-insulated some of the walls and instead of tearing the rest apart, tore off the old siding and wrapped the house with Tyvek and 2 inches of SM. Made a huge difference. We use to chill a bottle of wine by sitting it close to an outside wall near an electrical outlet.... lol... [/QUOTE]
