I'm not grounded :-/

Looks like the wiring in my 60+ year old house. Mentioned this in a previous post Shop Upgrades! I had to pull new wire from the circuit panel to the outlet. That was the easy part, cutting out the old metal electrical outlet box took some work with the sawzall (obviously with the old circuit was turned off) to remove. Pulling the wire up the wall from the basement was the biggest challenge as the old wire was stapled to the stud (as it should be) and I had to work my arm down the small hole to pull out the staple. Once this was done, pulled the new wire up the wall using the old wire as a pull line. Installed the new box and outlet. Now I have a dedicated 15 amp grounded circuit in that room.

Way more work than I was expecting, but what else are we doing while waiting for our Glowforges to arrive :slight_smile:
