    OP
    Quoted from Awalls:

    Thank you for your concern, but life safety is not really an issue as a gfci still trips without a ground. I would love to convert my over 100 year old house to have grounds on all outlets but that would require digging into most of the walls which by the way are lath and plaster so not a cheap option by far. So for now I’m looking at doing what I needed to to get by. I’ll probably tap into the closest outlet that has ground to borrow a ground for this outlet. I believe that this is okay now per NEC 2014
    Also looking at Zerosurge surge protectors that claim to not need a ground to function.

    If your house is a raised foundation home adding a few plugs can be done without damage to your walls with the right electrician, but if it’s a standard foundation home then that’s a little bit trickier.
