Comment on Renovating a converted patio
octobob@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoWhen you say “didn’t do a full re-wire” do you mean he left all wiring as is inside the walls and swapped 2-prong ungrounded outlets to 3-prong (which would be a bootleg ground and is illegal)
Or do you mean he ran new wire to some of the outlets and left what he couldn’t get to as 2-prong?
I’m an electrician fwiw.

Most of the circuits were wired with 12/3 already but with the ground wire not hooked up to anything. The electrician replaced the service panel, hooked up the grounds and installed new three-prong outlets. The circuits that were wired with 12/2 got GFCI outlets.
