My buddy has an old house and the upstairs uses wires with only a white and a black, no ground. He's done a lot of renovating in the basement and all the newer circuits in the house have a ground wire. One of the new receptacles with a ground is very close to an old receptacle without a ground. Can a ground wire be run from the old receptacle to the new receptacle that has a properly working ground? Thus grounding the old receptacle? Please give us your thoughts. Thanks!
