[QUOTE="Charged, post: 466540, member: 30360"] Thank you. Yes, the wiring is old. It is single core wire running through the walls and top of the ceiling. Bare earth wires here and there and the single cables that carry the insulated live and neutral wires inside the outer insulation still has bare single core or multi-strand earth wire inside it. But, I was bit surprised to see bare earth wires behind the wall because I've never seen it before, but apparently they did it like that many moons ago. The wiring is fairly old I think. Not sooner that 70's. The new wires are all multi-strand insulated wires for earth wiring. A wiring upgrade is a very good idea for this house, but it is going to be quite a challenging labour intensive job. [/QUOTE]
