Howdy! I'm running into a problem and was hoping to get some opinions here. I'm an electrical idiot, so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I live in Japan and most of the outlets in my house are two-pronged w/ NO ground (typical here). I have a ****load of 3-prong guitar amps and computers in one room and use 3-prong powerstrips w/ a 'to ground'(?) wire ([url]http://i.imgur.com/JaDxdxm.jpg[/url]) that remains unused, since the outlets near the floor are all 2 prong with no screw to attach the ground wire. I'm getting a lot of unnecessary noise from my amps (and my USB mics), and I'm beginning to believe my no ground situation is causing this. My question is this - I have ONE ground point high up on a wall where my AC plugs in (125v)([url]http://i.imgur.com/kfkPA6h.jpg[/url]). Can I snake a long ground wire from it and attach it to the ground wire of a powerstrip that's plugged into one of the two prong floor outlets? In other words, Will essentially using the ground point of one outlet to ground strips plugged into another work, or will I end up homeless from the resulting electrical fire? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I thought I knew what I was doing. But I find myself baffled. I want to replace a 3way switch thats in my kitchen with a double 3way/3way so I can have another switch added to the existing box. I cant figure out how to make it work, I cant even figure out how it worked in the first place so I can just put back the old single 3way switch. This is in the kitchen with the original 3way, its not hooked right (cause its not working), this was taken after I messed with it, then tried to put it back. I didnt get a before pic (kicking myself over that) [ATTACH]82376[/ATTACH] This is in the garage, the other side of the 3way circuit going on here.
