Here are some pictures of active knob & tube wiring from my inspection. It’s a house in NJ from the 1850s-1900s. Im just wondering if anyone can speculate from these wires going into the pushomatic breaker panel whether this could be a big remediation?

Getting an electrician in soon, just anxious!

Inspector couldn’t determine the extent of it and said there was splicing as well.

Also several 2 prong outlets throughout the house going up to the first and second floors…

This crawlspace is in an old addition that houses a kitchen and a bedroom above.

Both floors are sloped towards back of house.

Im purchasing one half of this being a duplex and the addition is shared.

Is this inaccessible crawlspace with a mess of pipes and wires a red flag/reason to back out?
