Hi:
I was putting in some kitchen cabinets last week and had to put in a new electric outlet. I ran new wire for the new outlet , but I have a question about the old electric outlet:
The old and I do mean OLD!! electric outlet was replaced because everytime i would plug something into it , sparks would fly out of the outlet! The old wiring has some sort of cloth fabric around the wiring.The wire is also frayed (SP)? quite a bit. It is not like today's modern wire. I capped off the old wire .Should I try to remove all of it from the wall or just box it in and cover the old outlet opening?
Thanks.
Bob
