jonnymo: Ground too short
The ground wire from the curcuit coming into my receptacle is too short to pull and wrap around ground screw on new receptacle. Can I wire nut a spare piece of copper wire to that ground and still be grounded?

ground wire too short
Thank you Ray. I thought so, but when helping a freind with their house wiring, I had to hear it from someone more versed in home repairs than I am.
