| Ceiling fixture: replace knob & tube w/ Romex...
I've got two ceiling fixtures wired with knob and tube wiring, and I'd like to update it with Romex.
The walls are open in both off these rooms (repairing damage after a foundation project). So this is the opportune time to get at these two fixtures.
Problem is, the lath & plaster ceilings in both of these rooms is intact, so I'd like to avoid hacking into them, if possible.
Oh, and these two rooms on on the second floor of a three story house, so there's no easy access to the fixtures from above.
Any hints, tips or tricks for simplifying this procedure? Is it possible to use the old wire to pull the new Romex? I really have no idea how to go about this. |
