You were lucky. Our house was originally wired with canvas-coated,  
rubber-sheathed romex dropped through the concrete blocks which were  
then filled with concrete. Rewiring in our house is a matter of  
running conduit on the outside of the walls, and jackhammering a hole  
for the outlet box.

Even our interior walls were made this way...every wall is at least  
10" thick, and solid block.

Hanging pictures is a pita, and wiring is worse.
