A early 1900s home, with plaster and wood lath, has one electrical outlet in each bedroom. The outlet is embedded in the wooden baseboard (about 3" above the floor). I am currently stripping the wallpaper (only one layer) to bare plaster. The walls and ceiling are in good shape except for a few long cracks.
I need to decide now if it worth moving the outlet up (8 " above floor) into the plaster wall and adding additional outlets on each wall or put in track wiring after the walls are finished. I would appreciate pros and cons from anyone who did this kind of work.
Thank you
