Edwardian home electrical wiring was scary stuff

We’ve been running into this situation with my father in law’s house: no one will insure it because all of the wiring is knob and tube. Spouse and I had the opportunity to buy the home off of him (for a good price), but we would have had to sink a bunch of money into it to replace both the wiring and the plumbing system and decided that we just didn’t want the hassle right now.
