My best friend Paul and I are working on replacing the old knob and tube wiring in my Mom's attic. That meant tracing the wiring down to the circuit breaker panel to see where it was supplied from.

Then we discovered that the wires coming out of the panel were labelled, but the labels had zero relationship with reality. So we traced all the wiring and labelled it. Now we're still trying to find how the wire goes from the basement to the attic. There was a wire that went town from the attic straight down the endwall of the house, which was surely it... except it just powers an outlet in the bedroom.

The actual power wire comes up from the center of the house, splits at a junction box between the first and second floors, then two wires disappear under a roof. So we're trying to trace that out now.
