So, stupid question time: would it be cheaper just to rip the whole ceiling slab off and have a new one poured properly? My hazy understanding about rehab'ing buildings is that sometimes brute force is the answer.
I have a couple of friends who gave up trying to rewire their 1920's era houses piecewise, and resorted to tearing it all out and starting over to bring it up to modern code/usefulness. My brother had to do something similar for one wing of his house that wasn't properly grounded.
