ewww, that's nasty lookin stuff.. but it looks 'normal' to me.. but what do I know...
Marlin knows a professional electrician, he has to follow Marlin around all day to fix his work [ROFL1]
he should be around shortly!
You're not adding anything, right? Just replaceing?
Useing 12 Ga wire?
Then Yes,, it makes senSe
Is it on at least a 15 amp breaker?
Yes it is a 15 amp breaker, and I am replacing wire where I can.
The entire house was built in the 40's with only 2 circuit breakers for the entire house. A new panel was added at some point to separate things.
This is a portion of its current configuration behind lath and plaster walls.
I intend to modernize how everything is routed and separated to different circuits, but I need to verify the current configuration and I believe this is accurate.
So essentially I am asking is this makes electrical sense as it is drawn. I believe this is correct.
I have replaced some of the wire accessible in the attic with 12/3 wiring.
Yep, as Long as You make it look like the drawing.. Make the connections tight and don't put a staple through the cable,, You should be fine....
Go to Home Depot or one of the other building supply stores and pick up a copy of the Electrical Code. They're cheap and they have diagrams.
