Is this a new house? As of 1999 electrical code mandates a separate 20amp circuit for each bathroom!

Please specify: is the ground floor a slab? It constrains your options if so.

Next time, check out plaster repair options. Your ceiling probably could have been saved.

comment How to clean PVC Window “inside”?
Please post some photos so we understand what you have. The Glass Guru system pumps in cleaning fluid, sucks it out, then leaves the holes open for the panes to dry out.

When pressed, I found insurers were willing to insure if the K&T was inspected by an electrician. Since we had to do that anyway to insulate, it was no problem. K&T is very robust and does not 'wear out' as long as it has not been extended improperly.

After a review showing no fire history due to inspected K&T, California, Washington, Nebraska, and Oregon have modified the National Electric Code to permit insulating over it.

We need a photo. And need to know if the switch reads ON/OFF or is blank and plain.
