Since taking electric 101 in high school, I discovered my joy in wiring things and seeing them light up. I once took apart an old string of mini Christmas lights and wired my lego sets, so it lit up like a real city. Since then I have owned and rewired three homes built in the 1800s.
I wish I could say I have found hidden treasures in my old houses, but instead I have found skeletons of mice, squirrels, and even a dog. Making needed repairs or improvements of old homes can be messy. Once its put back together and looks good its very satisfying.
Many old houses come with Knob and Tube. If you are lucky they are disconnected and not in use. I have seen ungrounded receptacles, loose connections, improper applications of equipment in systems, double tapped breakers, and multiple GFCI's (Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor) in the same circuit.
I love fixing things.
