I have attic and crawlspace access which makes things a lot easier but I also have a six foot long 3/4” drill bit for drilling up through walls and top plates. It is fairly flexible. Once you drill through to the attic (or crawlspace), there is a little hole at the tip of the drill bit to tie a string to. Then you pull the bit back out and you are left with a string from the attic to the new outlet or switch or whatever you are installing.Ron, do you use any special tools to move the wiring? Or do you have attic access?
Running new wires is best but if you can’t get to them or they are hard to get to, installing a GFCI breaker with Arc fault is allowable and IMHO better.Back to the wiring thing, I need to run all new wires. Not a single outlet has a ground wire.
As an aside, the diatomaceous earth has been killing some of the roaches in the kitchen. I need to spread it around more aggressively in the most infested areas though. Like Mom's desk. Just have to make sure it doesn't get into her keyboard.
