Jan 23, 2023 at 1:29 | comment | added | Jason Capriotti | @FreshCodemonger All the old wiring I've seen in this house is heavy armored cable (i.e. much heavier than the avg product I see in the stores) with cloth insulated wiring inside. Usually they're in an old box (black and smaller than current sizes). That said, I can't say this isn't K&T. Any idea what that black part with the hole for a screw is? It's hard to tell from the photo, but it extends out from the ceiling a little bit. | |
