[quote=bayfarmer; The same electrician told me I could ground a GFI outlet by placing a jumper wire between the neutral and ground [/quote]
Hayzee is right the gfci does not require a ground to work. In fact you are allowed to use them with out a ground in an older existing home that does not have a ground wire.
The problem is testing the gfci with a wood head tester does require a ground or the tester won't work. So you may think the gfci is not working.
Pushing the test button is an acceptable means of testing the gfci. It does not require a ground for that.
