Hi All
Just bought a new house and I'm going to rewire it.
My question is about the old wiring...
Can I pull the old wires out with pliers or something similar or will they live in the walls forever?
I'm wondering if pulling the wires out will have the added benefit of doing some of the chasing for me.
I'm not living there, so electricity not essential while I slowly work on it. I'll get electrician to make the final connections and to provide general oversight.
Its an old Victorian house and the current wiring is buried in solid brick walls with a layer of plaster. Not sure which era the current wiring is from.
Thanks in advance
