In parts, I’m doing it one leg at a time from the electrical box to the next junction box (have both in place next to each other kill the circuit move the old lines I haven’t got to yet into the new box to the new source, power on and test it, remove to old line.). I’m also adding breakers so luckly that gives me more leway too.
Ohhhh, by wiring, you mean wiring. Yep, to power wiring here as well. I have an 80 year old house and the original wiring was very well done, except not grounded. It’s all the stuff added later that’s a mess.
I’m lucky enough to have 200a service, however it’s a mid-sized panel that was already full, including some poor choices by previous owners. And there was an ancient rusted fuse box for a sub panel. Anyhow, much better now but it’s a never ending spchore, and my fixes have slowed a lot - right now looking at smart switches that aren’t working right because no ground and switches do t have a neutral
Having no ground is a huge pain, gotta balance the lines well to so that big power draws (ovens, pumps, dryers, etc) don’t cause voltage fluctuations (current issue my redo is fixing slowly but surely, but it’s been burning my LEDs, getting dimmable bulbs does help though).
My data lines (currently phone lines, and cable just stapled on the outside of the house …) are in the same process of new line and replace, but starting the line from my router instead. I’m willing to do a line per room and use dumb switches and access points in the rooms with more devices. To keep my wall from looking like an old telephone switch board operator 😅
