    Oh yeah I got me some of that in the "new" house.

    There is a single 20A in the garage. The interior lighting was one naked bulb fixture in one corner. I had three florescence shop lights I wanted to set up.



    Was going to convert the bulb figure to a duplex outlet for the shop light cords. Opened it up to find K&T. Luckily, I only had to trace back this this J box and repull from here, 5 ft.



    That let me do this...



    And I just got a batch of LED bulb replacements that are a tad warmer and a lot less load on that single circuit for now. Fortuneatley the house has a brand new 200A service, but a couple branches in the house (LR and bedroom) still have grounded K&T. Top project this spring is to fix that.

    Looks nice except when seasoning a smoker no food should be in there as your burning off manufacturing chemicals.

    Looks the same as our 100yo house. Update as we replace.

    We have one circuit for the entire north wall. Three rooms on two floors.

    That potassium chloride is spendy. Do you notice any difference from regular sodium chloride?

    We had to turn it up a bit but doesn’t seem to run out much faster. Not sure if you have an Ace Hardware, but it’s not bad there, still more expensive but we like it better. Some don’t.
