You guys must be reading my mind...
The circuits that I was hoping to upgrade the outlets on, are all 2 strand (single core), no ground, cable. I decided against stressing it by detaching it from the outlets but it apears to be just 16g. When the seller moved out she took the fridge with her and that must have been as old as the house unless she used a 3/2 adapter. My daughter asked me about using an adapter to power the fridge we are lending her but I insisted on moving it to the basement where there's a new GFCI outlet on 12g with 20 amp service.
The seller had accepted an obligation to have certain upgrades to the house's electrical system completed within one month of closing. I've advised my girl to consider the job incomplete until she gets a copy of the code officer signing off on the job. She will be contacting the agent tomorrow about that documentation.
Even though she is permitted to replace existing circuits I told her it would be better to wait until we are sure the seller's commitment is complete, or that it's obvious they believe it is. I would not want my work to be grounds for the electrician that was hired to refuse to complete their job. Also,it has been brewing in my head since I looked at the work yesterday that it is possible the work was not done by a professional and perhaps without a proper permit. I don't want to muddy those waters either!
She's a bit bummed that the only safe place to plug in her fridge and microwave are in the celler but she seems to have accepted my opinion that it's the safest course for now.
There are a total of 4 outlets (1 per wall) in the kitchen. I openned up two of them and they have a cable in, and one out but I was not able to trace their routings with any confidence. I also put a tester on the 3-hole outlet in the bathroom and it has an open ground and I told her not to use it. I have suggested that once the current situation is resolved we have a pro look at the situation and advise on replacing the present equipment and/or adding a few more circuits that we are certain will support modern appliances.
To those of you who have expressed great caution, thank you for your concern. I am very conservative on my electrical work. That's why I asked questions before I started on the project. It's great when a request for help results in the satisfactory completion of a project but my first objective is safety, not convenience.
If anything in this update leads to additional suggestions or information I am interested in hearing what you have to share.
Thanks!
