Sparks everywhere

Everything is old but well built. Though, the electrical no longer meeting code is not a surprise. So what do we have? Original extra-stiff 12 gauge solid copper cable that feeds everything and that requires a pry-bar to bend into shape, and an offending collection of non-grounded outlets. System overhaul is needed. I'm not a pro at making sparks, so there should be peace of mind in hiring a licensed electrician, right?  Not quite. The electrician found interesting to drill through the newly installed vent pipe and the plumber retaliated by drilling through a couple of newly installed 120 volt lines. Water or fire? Who was the winner?!
