Seriously, it's really old knob and tube wiring, took me an hour just to find out where all the stupid splices went to. There's a major whole house rewire project in my future, for now it'll have to stay as it is.
Well considering we live in the same basic neighborhood not surprising that all these house built around the 50s with the same wiring. But like Jon said nothing wrong with it as long as it's not overloaded, or touched... unfortunately I have a feeling about 10 years ago when I had my kitchen redone and the construction guys were ripping everything out left and right, they also ripped wires out and spliced fixes, and promptly covered them up without me (or an inspector) noticing. It looks too new to be one of my grandfathers machinations, as he died in 83 and wasn't doing all that much even before that.
