I disagree, where did you here that you can cover K&T with any type of insulation?

David here is an link to basically what I was saying. I've seen older houses with old vermiculite insulation over K&T it took the NEC a long time to say it wasn't allowed. Some states do or did allow it. Like CA. As long as the electrician said the wiring was good it could be covered. They would put a notice in the attic access warning people there was wiring buried under the insulation and that meet code.

OK shameless plug, but you get the idea.

There is so much you can miss if you do not go over your pictures and there is no argument that stands up against taking many shots to protect yourself.

Notice I asked for a closeup and he provided one.
Checklist guys with the proud 15 shots would have no recourse for help here and would have an inferior report.

That is so right brother BOB... pictures need some scrutiny.. i've found lots more on the review. Good camera lets u zoom right in too..
