Go to Post I think it's important to keep FIRST's most important award as the top point getter [in Fantasy FIRST]. It's help reinforce that the Chairman's award, Engineering Inspiration and Woodie Flowers award are actually important and FIRST is about more than just the robots. - Koko Ed [more]

Re: Home Electrical Wiring, Experts Advice Please

Ryan,

This is not a DIY problem that a trip to Home Depot and reading up on a few articles online will solve. This is something that needs a licensed professional electrician who knows the code to evaluate in person, and figure out how much of it will need to be replaced. Just because "something worked for 20 years" does not mean that it was safe.

And judging from your descriptions, it sounds like there are egregious errors from proper electrical code, which points out that whoever did the electrical in your house either did not know the electrical code (very scary thought) or had a "screw the code, this is faster/cheaper" attitude, which is just as hazardous.
