From that switch to the outlet, eh probably 30'?

And yeah it's old as sin but thats the only electrical issue I have in the house so I'm not about to start running new wiring. Parts of the house have been rewired (kitchen, bathrooms, wiring to the hvac systems, wate heater, etc...).

He said it was a hundred year old house, so who knows how old the wiring is. But many years ago romex wasn't color coded for the gauge like it is today.
