And you must know that a new electrical installation without permit will not be in compliance with any building code and insurance policy that I know of.

Just when I thought I'd seen it all.... there's this theory that unless you know something exists, how do you know if you are infatuated with it or not? Thats how I first heard about blumpkins. Refusing further engagement.
Just woke up, and RIU has me expounding on a gdamn Blumpkin.

What age is the wiring that is in now? It is a bet that I am willing to take.

We have wiring from about the 30's not connected and it looks like about every 20 or so it was upgraded but they didn't take out the old I've been trying to get it straight

Only need details of wiring connected to main panel. House insurance usually ask for full inspection every 20 years or so.

When I bought my house it still had a fuse box. 6 ten amp circuits.

Installing a new breaker in a live box is scary shit....I have done it a few times but it had me nervous as hell, because yes, one slip could be your last.
Around here no one pulls permits for adding a breaker or 2, or running a new circuit....Even if it's an electrician doing it. But I know some areas are different and much stricter. I added 2 circuits here for my flower room too. VERY carefully!! Electricity never was my "thing".
When I bought this place 20 years ago I had a new 200 amp panel installed, and I had the electrician go through and change every single receptacle and switch in the entire house and do a bunch of other work....the service was the only thing he got a permit for. He wound up being a toker and we became friends.... Still til this day!!

Still lots of them is use, as well as lots of nob and tube wiring, and old ungrounded 2 wire systems
I remember a home inspector saying a fuse box is actually safer than breakers IF everything is sized right...But once someone put a bigger fuse in, all bets are off.
Makers sense....a breaker is a spring loaded device that can fail. Many a house has burned down due to breakers not turning off.
Damn, I got hit with 220 once as a 16 year old kid, working at a Days Inn. I was changing an AC unit that was hard wired in. I shut the breaker off, but didn't use a tester, and got zapped bigtime. The breaker was labeled wrong!! Never again!!
