Greetings,
I am going to be replacing some old outlets in a house I just recently purchased. The house was built in 1950. There is some updated wiring with modern Romex in the house (about 50%), the other half is the original wiring.
On the outlet (and switch) wiring that I will be replacing (all the existing switches are old, yellowed and really dirty) that do not have grounds, I have a basic (and probably dumb) question:
If the box in the wall that holds the outlet/switch is metal...
Old wall wiring with no ground wire-Can I add a ground to the metal box?-Also Outlets are upside down
