| Post your photos to a site like Photobucket then post the URL here. My first impression reading your post was that the light was originally wired as a a three way using a method common in the days of K&T wiring but now illegal and was corrected when rewired. In the K&T days a three way was sometimes done with regular switches by interrupting the neutral with one switch and the hot with another.
Your bigger problem is that now that your walls are open your jurisdiction may require you to replace all the K&T wiring. Note by code you can not add onto or extend K&T. You can for the most part only leave it untouched. |
