Have a 70 year old home that has plaster walls. For having lived there for a month now (to the day), I'm starting to dig into some things that need addressed and possibly upgraded.
In the basement, I have been trying to trace down what wire is going where, for replacement. I have traced out every light fixture and outlet, so what circuit they are going to, is the easy part. There is one wire going through the floor, that I believe feeds the whole back half of the house, circuit 6.
For those of you that have experience working with plaster walls, what is the more than likely scenario of how the wire is routed once in the wall? I am attaching a pdf to show you what is currently on circuit 6. I would like to change that to one room per circuit. But not sure how to go about hitting each outlet/light. It would seem logical to hit the first outlet, come back down into the basement, and up to the next outlet, then back down and over until all outlets and lights are connected.
I would also like to install ceiling fans in each room at some point. Assuming that'll be done by getting the wire into the attic, then over to the fan. That's a whole nother project that hurts my head to think about. (getting the wire from the basement to the attic)
For those of you that have dealt with plaster walls and wire routing, what have you found to work best?
(The electrical panel is located in the lower right corner of the pdf, in the basement, right below the master bedroom. If it matters)
