I've been doing a rewire for a house to remove old aluminum wiring. Only the bottom of the walls were removed to run all the new wiring. Every drop from all the old plugs go up the attic and back down to the next plug. It's to small of an attic to access some of the wiring to remove it. I don't like leaving wires in the walls, but it looks to be the only option. I was planning to twist all the conductors together a tape up the ends so I'd somebody ever decides to try to use it, they should just short out instead.

Has anybody had any similar situations, and what have you done?
