I have a question for you? When, or what time frame, was the old knob and tube wiring installed? Was it in the 20-30's 30-40's?
Thanks, dave

We had oil lines, you fancy east coasters had gas?From about the 80's to the late 20's. Before that, we used gas lines.

All of ours had gas lines. When they switched to electricity they used the pipes to hold the new lights.Uppity rich east costers....:whistling:laughing:

My last house we remolded the bathroom it was built in 1959 and had a plumbing inspection sticker stapled to the stud. That is the oldest inspection sticker I have ever scene.Here's a question. When was the first year they used building codes? I thought it wasn't till the 60's
If memory serves, the first NEC code book came out in around 1897. Ken is that about right? (He probably actually has a copy of it)Here's a question. When was the first year they used building codes? I thought it wasn't till the 60's
I would never have guessed that it was used well into the 60s.1885 to 1965.
I think the first UBC was in the 60s but there's evidence of building code going back more than a thousand years. I remember seeing it, it was something like; if a man builds a house and it fails and the family living in it dies, then that man and his family shall be slain.jlsconstruction said:Here's a question.
