Well, some of this safety mess has gone overboard at the same time people are getting more stupid. It's sometimes hard to find a middle ground.

When electricity was added the wiring was feed through the walls and the receptacles were just screwed to the plaster lath without being in a box. I know on occasion pennies were used in the fuses temporarily until an actual fuse could be obtained. Then nobody cheeped out and used 14 gauge wire on anything either like they do today. The service wires were run through the attic as just bare copper wires on glass insulators. The wires were still 4' apart but sometimes people went in the attic. As of last July I know the house was still there and I know prior to 2014 nobody was ever hurt on the wiring. People just used to be more careful with things like that.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
