Ah, the joys of an underwired older house. Ours
was built around 1905
and was wired for electricity _after_ it was built. Not a grounded
outlet in sight. :-/
There are bunches of those old outlets here. And two boxes of grounded
outlets in the basement. I told the landlord here I'd be glad to put 'em in,
but that I'd need to have some wire available because there was no way I was
going to put grounded outlets in if they weren't in fact grounded. I'm still
waiting... :-)
