Wiring update (from 1940 methods to current!)

Our house was built in 1940, so all of the original wiring is 'knob & tube' wiring.  At first, we were only going to replace the kitchen wiring, but now, with good advice from friends, we've decided to replace it all, since we've got so much work to do on the walls right now anyway.  There's no sense in repairing all the walls then having to open them all up later to replace the wiring.  Also, updated wiring will be a lot safer than the old wiring. 

While we have the kitchen ceiling open, we are putting in recessed lighting. 
When the new window is in and the can lights are finished, my kitchen will be nice and bright!


The crystals from the old chandelier from the dining room are being re-used in a project by a good friend of ours.
