I thought I was done with my electrical work yesterday, when I added a 3-way switch and a regular switch to my dining room & kitchen. But, there was one thing I overlooked. I don't have a gas line, so I need to have an electrical stove. Currently, there is a big fat wire (with 3 wires inside) running out of my floor, into a junction box. My old stove was wired to it, inside of the junction box. There were only 3 wires, (I believe I want to have 4 - because it is safer?). Unfortunately for me, the layout of the Kitchen is changing - I need to get that hole that comes out of the middle of my floor to come out next to the wall. The floor is 3/4 plywood. Can someone tell me what the best way to move this sucker will be? It looks like I'll need to buy more cable; is this 10-3 or something else? It's on a 220v line. Also, what would it take to replace it with something with 4 wires, that would be safer?

:confused: I have replaced an old 30amp dryer with a new dryer that has a 4 prong cord. The electrician replaced the old 3 prong receptacle with a 4 prong receptacle and ran a short piece of wire from the neutral to the ground on this receptacle thus bonding them together so the machine will be grounded. The neutral and ground wires are on the same bar in the service panel. This panel was probably installed in the 70's. The electrician says he also does thiswith older homes on the duplex receptacles to allow removal of the old 2 wire receptacles. Does this have hazard issues in some situations?
