That time I had to rewire a whole floor of a 1920s building in three days

Got a call on a Tuesday about a small fire in an old office in downtown Portland. The owner wanted it fixed fast so they could reopen. We found knob and tube everywhere, plus some really bad DIY fixes from the 70s. Had to pull all new wire through plaster walls with no real access, just fishing rods and a lot of patience. Anyone else ever get stuck with a crazy deadline on a full rewire?

My last one felt like a three day panic attack.

Mine was more like a long, slow dread that just sat there.

Sounds like a real party in your head.
