[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3897193, member: 45785"] Someone is going to have to pull wire from the box to the outlet and lights. They could pull just a ground wire, or replace the original wiring with new that has the ground lead as well. It's going to be cheaper and possibly easier just to pull a single wire, but there are advantages to doing it right, and pulling a new 3 or 4-wire run in there. Might want to think about putting in more outlets while you're having this done, too. And replace that fused box with one with circuit breakers, as you mentioned. Looks like you have the advantage of open walls, and that will make it much easier to do. [/QUOTE]
