K&T wasn’t necessarily dangerous when it was being installed and was phased out for cost reasons not safety reasons, but the fact that it is now 80 plus years old, and most likely has splices in it done by who knows who, and bigger loads on it than it was intended for, original fuses replaced with modern fuses meant for higher loads, the cloth and rubber insulation has likely dried out and become brittle, cracked and been chewed on by vermin... all that means it has a high likelihood of being dangerous today or at the very least insufficient to handle modern day electric loads.

Now that I had chewed my own arm off to escape what was a prison (working at a job a disliked with a passion until I was 65), I had all my chips stacked on the table in front of me and here covid comes, a pandemic that essentially changed life as we know it in this country.

Honestly bit off more than I can chew.
