  is a potential landmine of disaster.
• You could get electrical shocks from everyday
  appliances, or get fuses often, and even have
  your appliances burnt out from the overload on
  the wiring system.
• This is not just a waste of money if your
  appliances get burnt out and cant be used
  anymore, but it also a matter of health and
  safety for your loved ones and you.

  is absolutely essential that you dont take risks
  with the wiring.

  rewiring is definitely in order since you will be
  using modern appliances for sure.
