Had a tricky job in a big old house in Savannah where the keypad kept losing power

I was finishing up an install at a 1920s home and the new keypad on the second floor would just die every few hours. It turned out the old wiring in the wall had a break I couldn't see. I ended up running a whole new 4-conductor wire from the panel in the basement, which fixed it for good. Has anyone else had to rewire a whole floor in an old house like that?

Seems like a lot of work... couldn't you have just found the break?

Honestly finding the break is way harder than it sounds lol. Sometimes you just gotta redo the whole section to save time.
