HayZee is right on about the type of wire, he described it a lot better than I did.
The ground wire was in the insulation with the other 2 wires, not seperate. And like HZ said the ground and the white wire are together in the main panel.
I also loosened the clamps in all the boxes so the wire had a touch of play in it. I had to take all the clamps out to get at the ground so it wasn't extra work. Just getting them clamps back in was a pain.
Now I have 2 oulets left that are not grounded in my 1 bedroom and the attic. It is all the same circuit. They all have grounds in the box but they all feed from the attic, just 1 light up there, that is only 2 wire. Can I run a ground from up there to the water main where the main breaker connects to so all my outlets are grounded? What would the simplest way to do this be? Do I have to run the ground inside the walls, house or outside. If it is outside should it be covered, I would think it would have to be.
I know this post is a little long and has been going on for a while so thank you all for staying tuned to my post.
I'm pretty good at all this electrical stuff as I do it all myself. I just need some expert opinions every now and then.
