We had to rebuild the soffit, fix the ceiling and walls, relocated plugs and switches, but we have built a team now and are not afraid of odder houses. 

Good Morning,I need some insight and recommendations as to a situation that has come up, ina  property I am looking to purchase, that has Exposed wiring , all throughout the house.The house was built around 1955 , and it is all wood on the inside ( almost like a Log cabin on the interior walls ), in that there is no sheetrock anywhere in the house.Well, all of the wiring that goes to the.... light switches, Outlets and ceiling fans, are all " Exposed " and are tacked to the wall with staples.Here is my main question please.....

., the ceilings in the basement were hight enough to finish.

The plasters walls and ceiling were shot.

Every ceiling tile and sheatrock has water damage.  

It is a picture of the ceiling.

Every time I see or hear the word "FLEX" involved with a commercial property it seems like it's an obsolete building that's laid out all wrong on the property, that was specifically built to manufacture something like steam powered typewriters.It will have low ceilings, loading docks unable to accommodate modern tractor trailers, and two phase electric.Even if the building is modern, It'll be built for some kind of business that was put out by some kind of big box retailer.

@David Krulac  would they not have baseboard electric heat or ceiling cable heat.. instead of gas
