: The wife and I stopped over at the "new to us" house
: today. She wanted to measure windows, I wanted to get a good

: there, building a kayak, then retrieving the kayak will be fine.
: However... the only power outlets are two prong (ungrounded)
: sitting in the incandescent bulb bases. They're not even being

: I'm almost in the same situation you're in, Bill.
: The wife chased me out of the basement as soon as she had her

: hoping the wires supplying the light bases are grounded, and
: it's just a case of the outlet itself not being three pronged.
: Then there's the gauge of the wire... and how is heavy the
: breaker it's connected to...
: Might be a headache, but I won't complain. If I wanted no

Hi Noel,
Well I've run three new circuits so far with a total of nine new outlets. Will be one or two more ceiling mounted outlets yet for the "stationary" tools that arn't stationary . Running new electrical wasn't a surprise, the basement had three outlets total when I bought it two of those were for the sump pump and the water softener. Not going to do much with one single outlet.
