This is a very timely thread for me! I've been trying to teach myself the basics of Home Electrical, and it's going decently so far (I'm in the research phase, trying to be diligent). My house is about 100 years old, and about 50% of the wiring is knob and tube. It's also reaching the end of its life. I want to replace all the knob and tube circuits with Romex, but am not really sure where to begin. Just mapping out where the circuit wires are currently running is a nightmare in itself (it goes all over the place with lots of splices, etc.) The big question is, how do I pull out the old wire and run new wire without having to cut a trench in my all of my walls / ceilings to access it? My guess is, I can't just *pull* out the old wire, and similarly, the new wire probably can't just be fished in through the walls, it needs to be fastened. Am I correct? This seems like the biggest barrier for me in this project, since replastering (yup, lathe and all) and repainting every room in the house sounds pretty beastly, not to mention far more expensive.
