Garage
My house was built in 1929, the people I bought it from had occupied it since 1948 so no upgrades had been done. I installed a 200 amp panel at the garage and ran wire underground to a 100 amp subpanel at the house. As has been mentioned, trying to run Romex thru the walls with lathe and plaster in place is a major PITA. I upgraded the outlets in the kitchen, living room and bathroom and left the bedrooms and dining room with the "Knob and Tube" wiring intact. If I were going to rewire the whole house, I would definitely demo the lathe and plaster and drywall afterwards.
