They're not even going to do that. I got an estimate on replacing all the aluminum with copper and it's at least $12,000. That doesnt include all the damage to the walls/ceilings.
They have to do all new wiring for the microwave circuit because they cant tie into the aluminum. And, whenever they've added additional outlets over the past few years, they've had to add new wiring for that too -- which has made those simple jobs very time-consuming and expensive.
I used to shop prices for electrical work. That's how I got ripped off by that company in 2007 -- thinking they were pig-tailing all the switches/outlets when all they did was install new switch/outlet hardware -- which didnt do anything to increase safety. And I cant go back and sue them now because too much time has passed.
Not good.
Didn't want you to be taken advantage of but sounds like you know whats going on with the wiring in your house.

OMG. The electricians got here right at 8:00 this morning. I'd forgotten to set my clocks ahead -- I woke up at 7:30 (thinking it was 6:30) and, all of a sudden, I remembered. Yikes! I jumped out of bed, jumped into the shower, jumped all over the place to get ready. What a rude awakening.

And they're still here. What a long day.
Please be careful with all that jumping lady!!
I know how you feel thought. We finally bought a new dryer and hubby has been messing with some wiring he didn't finish on the house when we built it. On and off electricity all day. Weekends almost over...
I hate mean people. Mean, tacky, hateful, mean people. I just flat out hate them. I know it's wrong to hate but it's wrong to be mean to isn't it???? If it's not, then it should be.
