Aye. And there are still some runs of cloth insulated stuff in my basement. If I ever touch that (literally), those lengths will have to be replaced. Things to do, things to do.

    not touching it (until you replace it) is a good game plan.

    that eliminates breakage and just leaves rats as the unpredictable variable.

    check out "knob and tube" wiring if you really don't want to sleep well at night.

    that stuff's a horror show by today's standards.
