    Be very careful with the wire screws, always use a green handled screwdriver to make yourself neutral. This is a trick Sean taught me and I almost never get electrocuted anymore.

    Just remember that everything electrical is full of smoke, and if you let the smoke out, it won't work anymore!

    If you have metal boxes with conduit or BX it'll kindof sortof be grounded, as long as all the metal connections are sound all the way to the breaker panel. Just buy an outlet tester at Home Depot. It'll tell you if the wiring is correct and if the ground is working. .

    Or stick a screwdriver in the hot outlet

    I wire every new home i build. And i have put in hundreds of breaker boxes. Also a lot of older homes still have fuse boxes with no grounding rod. According to the codes you even have to put the cooper wiring #4 or #6 soild state running from the outside panel in plastic conduit to keep a back feed from happening. Which is a bit over kill,but i dont write the codes. Besides conduit isnt a proper grounding method anyways. Peace toolman
