Both my husband and I are in the process of purchasing a 1912 American Four Square, we are lucky the home has a lot of the original wood work untouched, but we have the old knob and tube wiring, and if you can picture this, the Frankenstien movie where the mad scientist grabs the lever to give Frankenstein life, we have that lever also. Well, my question is (I know it has been some years since you addressed this issue) but what was the price range you all were quoted to upgrade the electrical? Also, what products would you recommend to strip paint off of built in wood kitchen cabinets and off of door hardware?
One more question, what would be your best advice on refinishing hardwood floors. Oops, one more, how do you compromise with a partner that has never restored anything, but believes in their heart and sould that with the waive of a magic wand we can conquer all things?

Thank you,

UPL
