This is Part one of our series on addressing some of the impossible (OK, more like extremely difficult) tasks electricians come across when rewiring homes. Part one begins with possibly the most obvious issue: how do you rewire lights and fans on the ceiling of the first floor of a two-story home? By no means is this article going to be comprehensive enough for you to do the entire job on your own. More, it's designed to give you some ideas, and to encourage electricians and tradesmen in the decisions they are already making. Lastly, it will give homeowners a better appreciation for just how difficult a job rewiring an older home can be. It's never easy or straightforward and doing it right will result in a large amount of debris and a LOT of holes to be patched up. Expect that when you get into it and you won't be surprised on the back end.
