just thought i would point out a fact on old electrical wiring in houses.
It was common practice in NZ decades ago to install TRS wiring into property's. This is a type of electrical cable. The problem being nowadays the insulation is extremely brittle and if you have it you need to rewire the entire house if discovered.
this leads me to the main reason i brought it up. Alot of people Reno houses of this era due to wooden floor etc. So be on the look out for the wiring before you buy! Otherwise you could discover it during the reno and be up for several thousand to rewire.
I would advise getting a professional or an electrician to have a look and inform you of wether you have this wiring if you are to purchase an old house.
