We have an ungrounded, single-bulb light fixture in our basement, and I'd like to install a flourescent fixture at that location. The instructions for the flourescent fixture say that it has to be grounded. How hard is it to add a grounding wire to an ungrounded fixture? Does this require running a wire through the ceiling and wall to the nearest member of the house's grounding system? In case it matters, I'm an untrained homeowner with your basic run-of-the-mill experience in replacing fixtures and receptacles.

Thank you!

resetting fence post

I need to reset a fence post for when I install a chain-link fence gate. Need to know if the new concrete will work with the old that is still on bottom of the post, or do I have to use a clean post.

boman,
If the old post(with some concrete) will fit in your new hole, go ahead and use it.

old post(with some concrete)

Actually, you might say it has more than some. It still has the chunk that was on it from the original setting. I had planned to make the hole quite a bit larger and reset it without busting the old concrete off or maybe use a different post. I would like to use the original post though. I was not sure if the new concrete would adhere to the old.

Tx for response
