I second 12-2 with ground. I just remodled this ole house and put new wireing in. I had 2 fire blocks in the walls with sheetrock over lap sideing both sides of the wall and ceiling.

Instead of going under the house i cut small holes where i could drill threw the fire block and then patched the holes. can't even see the 21 holes i cut in the wall. part of the house is paneling so i just removed the peices i needed too and covered the holes i cut back up.

I guess grandpa wanted a solid house, he just skimped on the wireing back in the 60's.

attic was a bit cramped here too but i wore a dust mask and knee pads. But i didn't have to worry about falling threw the ceiling with all that lumber holding me up.

I would go to at least a 200 amp main if not already.even if you don't need it right now. Also put a couple of snorkle tubes in to pull extra circuits in to the main at a later date should you ever decide to.that way you dont have to tear out around the panel to fish wires in.
